The article translated fine, it's just this second paragraph that didn't seem to
achieve a very good flow. Suggestions are welcome. ありがとうございます。
３１日の共和党全国党大会に、ブッシュ大統領の強力な支持母体として知られる宗教右派に属する元ミス・アメリカが応援弁士として登場した。０３年のミスに選ばれたエリカ・ハロルドさん。ハーバード大のロースクールで学ぶ彼女は、原理主義的なキリスト教の一派「神の集会」の信者で、婚前交渉や麻薬、アルコールの自制を訴える「異色の元ミス」として知られる。
この日は、ミスとして訪れた刑務所で、信仰を深めることで受刑者らが尊厳を取り戻し、暴力事件の減少につながる例があったと紹介するなど、宗教色の濃い演説をぶった。ブッシュ大統領が信仰に基づく政策として進める元受刑者の社会復帰や、貧困、麻薬対策についても「思いやりの気持ちを行動に移すものだ。我々は思いやりの十字軍に加わることができる」などと語り、支持と参加を訴えた。
She introduced examples from prisons visited as Miss America where a deepened faith allowed prisoners to recover their sense of dignity as well as reduce the levels of violence. This emphasis gave the speech a deeply religious tone. Socially reformed former convicts advancing President Bush's faith based policy along with poverty and drug policies move sympathetic feelings into the realm of action. She appealed for strong support and participation, saying we can all join this crusade of concern.

I got a little bit here I need checked over and revised if you all can. Thanks in advance.
I watched the 10 min. Air Promo, but can't find the source.
Any way, I'd like to see this at a theater but I can't scream in there!
Just as I expected, it seems they'll use a method where they show the reminescence of the Summer part in "Dream." (That's a toughie, I'll run it by some of my friends.)
しかし何だ(?), Kano and Minagi are coming out in it.
Bah, they'll probably just be supporting characters with a line here or there.
By the way, what about Haruko??????
Hey! Where the heck is Haruko?!
Well, that was my take on it.

One more order of business from the above posted article....the use of 母体 is another way of saying she's a strong female/from the heartland/original supporter ? Although It may come off as slightly patronizing in English so there's probably no decent translation....母体 【ぼたい】 
mother's body; heartland; :?
Funny about the choice of 知られる as well, is that the writer
saying 'she is known to be'...it would seem pretty obvious for anyone
speaking at a convention.

さて、日本語は論理的にも話せるし非論理的にも話せるというwakaP said:I might be the only person, but I don't understand which the translated sentenses are. Could you tell me which ?:sorry:
特徴がある言語なのですね。wakaPのみてから「元受刑者の社会復帰や、貧困、麻薬対策についても」こういう部分は論理的だと思いますか 多分英訳では会話の流れの中がちょっと出来ないよ。それでも、英語を練習してくださいね。

今さら
I now the kanji translates to 'now' but I don't know what the hiragana is doing. Have the same problem with the hiragana after ある.
The full text is:
今さら
神隠しでも
あるまいが。。。。。。不思議な
This is my attempt at translating:
Now (something)
even if Kami-Kakushi
exist (something) but...mysterious, right?
I thought I could pull this off on my own since I have an official translation (this comes from the 「なるたる」 manga "Shadow Star" in the US) but that translation is:
'tain't like I believe in Kami-Kakushi...but these are strange goings-on and that's a fact, officer.
So I need better help than that.

The あるまい is a negative conjectural form. Note that adding まい to volitional verbs can have the effect of meaning negative volition.
E.g. 話すまい - I will not speak.

Elizabethさんが何を問題としているのかが，まだよく分からないのです。
(Your point is still not clear for me.) :sorry:
Was what you wanted to say the Japanese article was not logical enough to translate into English?
(言いたいことは，日本語の記事が論理的でないので英語に訳すのが難しい，ということですか？）

すみません。I'm a little nervous sometimes about trying new sentences in Japanese, so if sometimes my postings don't make much sense. :sorry: Anyway, I can't say absolutely the Japanese isn't logical -- only that my translation isn't very smooth and I don't understand the grammar here (元受刑者の社会復帰や、貧困、麻薬対策についても). The subject of reformed ex convicts advancing Bush's agenda abruptly followed by 貧困、麻薬対策についても (also moving concern with poverty and drug policy from sentiment to action) ?wakaP said:
I didn't understand the connection between them. Maybe wakaP will come up with something better ?
