The New American Mob
After 16 months, perhaps the best one can say for the Tea Party is that the contempt it originally provoked within the American establishment has turned to consternation.Ā If the Tea Party were composed of real Indians, the elite would be understanding, if not exactly encouraging, and not in the least alarmed or offended.Ā Since,...
Against the Obscurantists
It was a muggy day in late July, and I had gone to the back of the church to rest on crutches and take some pressure off my sprained ankle.Ā Taking advantage of my condition to stand in the way of one of the churchās too-few fans, I noticed a woman feeding candy to her...
Pursuing Ethnic Blocs Stupidly
In responses to the Hamas attacks, conservatives again demonstrate inept attempts to imitate the leftās shameful and divisive appeals to ethnic blocs. In abasing themselves to pursue special voting blocs, these conservatives adopt a bad principle and a clumsy and embarrassing strategy.
A Preferred Successor
Vladimir Putin’s performance as Russian premier had, by the first of November, won him high approval. The ex-KGB professional, publicly tapped by Boris Yeltsin as his preferred successor, has begun to show the political acumen that attracted the attention of Yeltsin and his “family,” the presidential entourage, who are very worried about the anti-family coalition...
Declaring China “Normal”
The annual process of extending “most-favored-nation” (MFN) trade status to communist China was to have a new twist this year. Beijing’s friends in Washington were pushing for an end to this embarrassing review of Beijing’s brutal behavior by granting MFN to China on a permanent basis. The move was to be attempted before China takes...
Disturbing the Peace
The waitress at my favorite Japanese restaurant, a spotlessly clean little joint in a Sonoma County hamlet not far from my home, had no idea what she was getting into as she took the order.Ā Two unremarkable looking customers had walked in the door: one an older, rather prissy-looking man with wire-rim glasses, and the...
The Wasted Century
The Great War and its inevitable successor have been called Europeās civil war, and there is some truth in this characterization.Ā Divided by language, religion, and culture, the nations of Europe were nonetheless united in a common civilization that developed out of the ruins of the Christianized Roman Empire.Ā Despite the strains brought on by...
Right Answer, Wrong Label
A good historian ought to make it clear where he is coming horn rather than assume an impossible Olympian objectivity. Then, if he has handled his evidence honestly, he has fulfilled the demands of his craftāwhether or not we agree with the interpretation he has placed upon his evidence. Ideally, interpretation should come separately from,...
Tax Credits and Education Reform: No Simple Task
Over the last decade, the state of Arizona has made ground-breaking attempts at K-12 education reform.Ā A 1997 law allowing taxpayers to steer a portion of their state income-tax liability toward a student at a private school now provides significant scholarship aid each year to 22,500 of the 54,000 students enrolled in private schools.Ā With...
If Trump Loses, a āTransformedā GOP Might Not Get a Second Chance
Donald Trump has made it clear from the beginning that heās in it to win it. He has said that if he ends up losing the presidential race it will all have been for nothing: āIf I don’t go all the way, and if I don’t win, I will consider it to be a total...
TrumpāAmerican Gaullist
If a U.S. president calls an adversary “Rocket Man . . . on a mission to suicide,” and warns his nation may be “totally destroyed,” other ideas in his speech will tend to get lost. Which is unfortunate. For buried in Donald Trump’s address is a clarion call to reject transnationalism and to re-embrace a...
Conservatism After Defeat
Edmund Burkeās statement of government as a compromise and a sharing of power is no longer relevant today. The world has been remade since Burke's warnings, unfortunately.
Are Uncivil Protests and Mob Violence Winning?
The Seattle Commune is no more. Declared three weeks ago by radical leftists as CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, rechristened CHOP, the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest, the six-block enclave inside Seattle ceased to exist July 1. The cops shut it down. As Marx said, history repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce. If...
Geoffrey Blainey and the Multicultural Nirvana
One’s kindest possible response to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s typical attempt at a sitcom is Mark Twain’s quip about The Vicar of Wakefield: “Nothing could be funnier than its pathos, and nothing could be sadder than its humour.” Hence the astonished pleasure inspired by the Corporation’s dazzling new comedy Frontline. A merciless skewering of current-affairs...
Plea For Human Charity
Superbowl XXVII last winter was unremarkable except for Michael Jackson’s halftime extravaganza. The climax of the performance was Jackson’s “Heal the World” anthem, which he dedicated “from the children of Los Angeles to the children of the world.” Much like the early 80’s hymn “We Are the World,” which Jackson composed with Lionel Richie, “Heal...
The ICC Orders Qaddafy’s Arrest
Ā The Libyan affair became a choreographed farce on June 27, with the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing arrest warrants for Muammar Qaddafy, one of his sons, and his chief of military intelligence.

Psychological Phenomena
Robert Weissberg’s study of tolerance will not bring him academic good will, and the drab appearance of this volume will not attract a sufficient number of potentially favorable readers to make its author justly famous. So much the worse! The book is written with flair, even occasional humor, and offers riveting arguments regarding the changing...
My Son, the Sociopath
A few years ago, before my son was born, I spent a weekend in the Hamptons at the country house of a moderately hip American investment banker.

U.S.-Russia Clash in Ukraine?
Among Cold War presidents, from Truman to Bush I, there was an unwritten rule: Do not challenge Moscow in its Central and Eastern Europe sphere of influence.

Thinking Free While Living With the Establishment
This week I celebrated my 70thĀ birthday. I like the sound of 70. In terms of human years that number seems possessed of dignity and wisdom, and though I may lack both attributes, 70 provides a faƧade leading others to think that age has endowed me with these prizes. Regardless, I have reached the age when...
The Democrats Divide on Impeachment
The release of the Mueller report has left Democrats in a dilemma. For consider what Robert Mueller concluded after two years of investigation.

Paganism, Christianity, and the Roots of the West
I remember being taught as a student of the considerable, if not unbridgeable, gap between the polytheistic pagans and the monotheistic Christians who, though they may have borrowed from their predecessors, eventually delivered a civilization completely of their own.Ā The roots of the West were supposed to lie in Christianity, which either invented a new...
Baseball and Marital Permanence
The game of baseball is centered on home: pitchers throw the ball over home plate, batters hit home runs, and fans root for the home team.

Are Bibi and Bolton in the Wheel House Now?

Politics of Weakness
In the 1980’s the doctrine of sexual equality is increasingly being misapplied. The current discussion of women’s sports provides a graphic illustration. The central premise of the sexual egalitarian is simple: It is unjust to reward or support a woman less than a man, when the woman performs on the same level. Many would agree...
Hitler vs. the Anglo-Americans
On April 20, Adolf Hitler turns 131. Ten days later comes the 75th anniversary of his earthly demise in the ruins of Berlin, but he is still our contemporary par excellence.

The Dangerous Myth of American Exceptionalism
One thing that distinguishes the French from the Americans is that the French have the good grace to number their failed political experimentsātwo kingdoms, two empires, and five republics.
