What Counts As Political

In What Counts as Political?, this week’s Center for a Stateless Society commentary, I examine how the label “apolitical” could be applied to Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally.

The assumption is that things are only political if they explicitly involve a political office or ballot measure. This view ignores what lies below the surface: The political climate from which campaigns spring or which they try to appease or co-opt.
