What did The New Yorker cover mean showing Obama and his wife posing in Muslim clothing and a gun while the American flag burns in his fireplace?

The artist and editors have said it was intended as satire, and titled it "the politics of fear" (referring to the Republican/conservative portrayal of the Obamas as connected to Osama Bin Laden and to Muslims in general as either terrorists or fascists). It was still viewed by many unfamiliar with The New Yorker's focus on art as offensive.

In terms of it having any factual content, it is all ironic overstatement. Because of the popularity of comedy satire television like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, they honestly felt most people would understand it as artistic criticism of Republican propaganda that regularly suggests Obama has terrorist connections.

What does the Democratic Party think about traditional marriage?

Generally, most Democratic party members who are married are in traditional marriages and are supportive of traditional marriage. But Democrats realize that families come in many forms and do not limit the idea of marriage to traditional sexual boundaries.

Because certain governmental and societal benefits accrue to the historical "traditional marriage" Democrats are not people who object to other forms of marriage that are sought by large numbers of nontraditional supporters. As a result of this expanded vision Democrats are generally in support of gay marriage rights.

Where did democratic ideas and principles originate?

The fastest answer is Athens, Greece around 510 BC. Athens was a powerful Greek city state that was in control of the city and the countryside neighboring the city. The democracy of Athens was a "direct democracy" in that the citizens voted directly on every issue to be considered by the community.

Direct democracy has a number of structural problems but the Athenians didn't have other examples to experiment with. One of the problems, from our modern point of view, is that the qualifications to vote in Athens while attempting to be universal still did not let everyone vote.

Over time successful democracies became "representative democracies" whereby near universal vote (kids can't vote for example) produces representatives such as; Congressmen (MC), Senators, Members of Parliament (MP) who represent the citizens wishes (to one extent or another) in a Congress or Parliament.

Are there any connections or similarities among the federalists democratic-republicans democrats or modern day republicans regarding national issues?

yes and it is quite interesting the federalists then which evolved into the more liberal democrats you see today where much more conservative and then where essentially republicans except for the strong national government issue. It also works vice versa Lincoln, the first republican was very liberal but republicans now who say they believe in the power of the common man make it very hard to give the common man any power for example they support the electoral college. Its a broken system where if your in a red state and you cast a blue vote that blue vote doesn't count!!!!! They also say there for personal rights but they oppose abortion rights. Its strange how these things turn out eh'?
