Whenever there is a widely publicized atrocity in a country gripped by civil war, followed by an orgy of the pornography of compassion, it is sensible to ask cui bono and to examine all evidence in minute detail. When an incident is immediately used as grist for the interventionist mill, it is reasonable to assume...

Government of the People
The doctrine of states’ rights has returned to the American political scene. Leftist and liberal governors have been dusting off the arguments of John C. Calhoun and echoing the speeches of Strom Thurmond in preparation for their defiance of the national government. The battle is being fought on several grounds. In Massachusetts, the fight is...
‘Politics of Memory’ Divides the European Union
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West has unsuccessfully tried to force its preferred topography of political memory upon former Eastern bloc nations.
“Social” Justice Is Not Justice
From the July 1999 issue of Chronicles. In The Mirage of Social Justice, the second volume of his trilogy on Law, Legislation, and Liberty, Friedrich von Hayek confessed that, “as a result of long endeavors to trace the destructive effect which the invocation of ‘social justice’ has had on our moral sensitivity,” he had “come...
Abolishing Diversity Statements Is an Empty Gesture at MIT
Until all aspects of DEI are abolished from universities, public gestures like eliminating this or that aspect of the ideology are mostly empty publicity stunts designed to relieve pressure from embattled administrators.
Truth and Consequences
Dead white males did not invent the rules of science; they discovered them. These rules enable science, and science alone, to make successful prediction. And prediction is only evidence acknowledged by science to demonstrate that one is on the trail of the truth. One may, of course, invoke anything one wishes in attempting to come...
S. Craig Zahlerās Shotgun Safari
A cowboy is scalped and cannibalized by Indians. A villainās head is stomped from his shoulders into the squat hole of an ancient, grim prison. A beautiful woman is executed with a machine gun blast to the face. Not everyone has the stomach for the violence that abounds in the movies of dissident director S....
On Pearl Harbor
My experiences aboard a Navy aircraft carrier that often entered and departed Pearl Harbor, each time passing by the U.S.S. Arizona, overrode George McCartney’s review of Pearl Harbor (In the Dark, August). I think the film is outstandingāindeed, one of the best of its kind ever produced. It splendidly teaches history to American generations that...
The Age of Verification
Some millennia after the Earth spun out of nothingness and began hosting life forms, there dawned the Age of Reptiles, which gave way to the Age of Mammals.Ā Then came the Golden Age, the Age of Fable, the Age of Augustus, the Age of Migrations, the Dark and the Middle Ages, the Age of Absolutism...
David Jones: The Last Liturgical Poet
The Welsh poet David Jones (1895-1974) wrote two of this century’s outstanding literary works, and yet neither a single line of his writing nor any mention of his name is included in so recent a collection as The Harper Anthology of Poetry (1981), an otherwise excellent volume of English and American verse edited by the...
Foreign Policy and the Popular Will
Is the foreign policy of the United States her Achilles’ heel and the cause of endless dissatisfaction? Without doubt, if we remember the words of Clausewitz: wars are nothing but the continuation of diplomacy by other means. Yet wars are very costly because they involve not only money but, above all, human lives. Foreign relations...
The Convenient Religion
Everyone in America todayāright, left, or middle, if there still is oneācan agree that the explosive political response to Donald Trumpās presidency is unprecedented in American political history.Ā Liberalsā clinically hysterical reaction to the Presidentās plans for The Wall, to the travel ban, to his response to the Charlottesville affair, and to his cancellation of...
The First Arkansas Bill
“The Price of Empire is America’s soul and that price is too high.” āSenator J. William Fulbright August 8, 1967 The oily whoremaster in the White House dodged the draft thanks to another Arkansas Oxonian named Bill, but the debt remains unpaid. For the shirker is viciously conventional, as the ambitious young always are, while...
New England Against America
Ā Ā Ā Ā “The fiction of Mr. Simms gave indication, we repeat, of genius, and that of no common order. Had he been even a Yankee, this genius would have been rendered immediately manifest to his countrymen, but unhappily (perhaps) he was a Southerner…. His book, therefore, depended entirely upon its own intrinsic value and...
How to Get Along in the South: A Guide for Yankees
Right now, down here, we seem to be experiencing an influx of Northern migrants. There are so many of them, and misunderstanding is so frequent, that I fear a new wave of sectional hostility may be shaping up. I offer as evidence the fact that some of my less tolerant brethren have taken to referring...
One Law for the Left…

Who Will Judge the Judges?
Abraham Lincoln, in his 1860 Cooper Union speech, asked, āWhat is the frame of government under which we live?āĀ The answer must be, he said, the Constitution of the United States.Ā The answer today, as Chroniclesā reviewer of Quirkās and Bridewellās Judicial Dictatorship stated in 1995, is a judicial dictatorship imposed by the Supreme Court.Ā ...
An Empire If You Can Bear It

Douse the Flames, Mr. President!
Ā Barack Obama’s statement that the death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy that cries out for a more thorough investigation was the right and necessary thing to say. But it fell far short of what was needed: a presidential call for a halt to the rhetoric that is stirring up racial rage and inflaming...
Sodomy and the Lash
Sodomy and the lash, according to Winston Churchill, were the outstanding features of the British Royal Navy. The United States Navy will be at least half-British, if the American courts have their way. The homosexuals’ battle plan to gain acceptance, which includes taking dates to the Officer’s Club, now involves 100 or so discrimination claims...
Commercial Speech and the First Amendment
For sheer incoherence, incomprehensibility, and outrageousness, nothing beats the United States Supreme Court’s First Amendment jurisprudence. The First Amendment is a fairly simple piece of constitutional law: It forbids the federal legislature from restricting freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, or from establishing a national religious sect. Unfortunately, in the 20th...
God and Mammon in Christian Publishing
That one can find Christian bookstores in nearly every shopping mall is doubtless a good sign. While our intellectual and cultural establishments refuse to factor God into their equations, there is an alternative network of publishing houses and bookstores devoted entirely to religion. While millions of ordinary Americans have stopped reading altogether, Christians, particularly conservative...
Prosperity
Declining prosperity is now a settled fact of American life. Prosperity is not measured by the dayās average of stock speculation, or the profits of bankers, or the munificence of government subsidies and salaries, or the consumption of luxury goods, or even by the Gross Domestic Product.Ā It is amazing how in a few short...
Literature and the Curriculum
The controversy over the humanities curricula is a struggle over definition, and what is at issue is not so much theĀ nature or purposes of the American university as the identity of the American people. There have been many such definitional combats in the past; the greatest of them led to the War Between the States....
Smokers in the Arsenal
Several years after he was forced into retirement, Otto von Bismarck was asked what could start the next major war.Ā āEurope today is a powder keg,ā he replied, āand the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal . . . I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you...
The Sexual Left, the Welfare State, and the Divorce Revolution

Can Humanity Forget What It Knows?
Civilization hangs suspended, from generation to generation, by the gossamer strand of memory. If only one cohort of mothers and fathers fails to convey to its children what it has learned from its parents, then the great chain of learning and wisdom snaps. If the guardians of human knowledge stumble only one time, in their...
A Wide World of Winless War
The tabs on their shoulders read āSpecial Forces,ā āRanger,ā āAirborne.ā And soon their guidonāthe ācolorsā of Company B, 3rd Battalion of the U.S. Armyās 7th Special Forces Groupāwould be adorned with the āBandera de Guerra,ā a Colombian combat decoration. āToday we commemorate sixteen years of a permanent fight against drugs in a ceremony where all...
What Ails the Historical Profession?
Academic historians are too uncritically receptive to Utopian thinking. Too many believe in what Kari Mannheim described as the striving for a new world order, an order which “would shatter all existing reality.” This utopianism should not be identified too closely with historical materialismāor with Marxism, which claims to rest on a materialist foundation. Academic...

Modern Conservatism and the Burden of Joe McCarthy
Many political experts have attempted to explain the rise of the right in recent years. At the close of World War II there was no unified, articulate conservative movement in the United States. Forty years later, Ronald Reagan was serving his second term in the White House, scores of conservative organizations were wealthy and growing,...
Caledonians of the Heartland
Celebrating St. Andrew’s Day (November 30) is not uncommon among Scots, especially in the English-speaking world, but the widespread commemoration of the birthday of the poet Robert Burns (January 25), even by non-Scots or “Scots for a day,” sets this national group apart from all others. No other national heritage rests so heavily on the...
A Good Communitarian Is Hard to Find
“Never say No when the world says Aye.” āE.B. Browning This thoughtful and provocative analysis of the new communitarianism can profitably be viewed as a case study in how liberalism, not unlike scheming alien forces in sci-fi movies, assumes new and attractive forms to beguile the unwary. Put otherwise, the liberalism of the New Deal...

Lessons of Libya
Liberal interventionists and their neoconservative twins on both sides of the Atlantic were jubilant as Libyan rebels took Tripoli.Ā From now on, āThe right question for the United States and its allies isnāt whether to help oppressed people fight for freedom, itās when,ā declared the Washington Post on August 24.Ā The answer to that question...
Preparing Your Kids for the āRe-education Campsā
The little kids walking through the airport or the state fair wearing leashes disguised as monkey backpacks signal every parentās worst nightmare: losing their child. That nightmare increases ten-fold when the loss is inflicted upon parents via so-called authority figures such as Child Protective Services or other agencies with allegedly good intentions. Unfortunately, such an...
The Quest for Community
āA sense of the past is far more basic to the maintenance of freedom than hope for the future.Ā The former is concrete and real; the latter is necessarily amorphous and more easily guided by those who can manipulate human actions and beliefs. āRobert Nisbet, The Quest for Community The trouble with labelsāwhether adopted voluntarily...
The Journalist and the Fixer: Who Makes the Story Possible?
We were already roaring down the road when the young man called to me over his shoulder. There was a woman seated between us on the motorbike and with the distance, his accent, the rushing air, and the engine noise, it took a moment for me to decipher what he had just said: We might...
Between Gibraltar and a Hard Place
The crisis in British politics deepens. Everything changed Sunday, when the European Union, without further debate, approved the Withdrawal Agreement that is Theresa Mayās work. That Agreement is now set in stone, with no further changes possible for the EU/UK. And the dynamics of politics are revolutionized. The Withdrawal Agreement has been greeted with dismay...
Losing Federalism
Human liberty has two distinguishable but inseparable dimensions: the liberty of the individual to act according to his own reason and the corporate liberty of a moral community to pursue a vision of the good lived out in institutions and traditions that bind generations.Ā These two dimensions are necessarily in tension.Ā The individualās autonomy can...
Take a Hand
Thereās no analysis to speak of in Bill Minutaglioās and Steven L. Davisās account of life and events in the cityāDallasāthat much of the world came to hate after the Kennedy assassination.Ā There is instead chronological recitation: this person, that person; words, deeds, threats, accusations, pleas, apologies, gestures; an amassing and piling up of facts,...
Why I Am Not a Socialist
Though Chesterton disliked socialism intensely, he did not regard it as the most serious danger facing Western civilization.Ā Writing in 1925, he describes the socialist state as something ācentralized, impersonal, and monotonousā but suggests that this is also an accurate description of the societies in the modern industrialized West that regard themselves as enemies of...
On Intelligence and Race
Samuel Francis is among America’s best publicists. It is thus painful to read his praise (March 1995) of three materialist, pro-robot scientists, particularly the most materialist of the three, for whom civilization is determined by cold versus hot climates and their “cognitive demands.” In Philippe Rushton laudatio, Francis quotes the barbaric passage: “the cognitive demands...
Freedom and Action
In this rich and dense book, Michael Allen Gillespie is self-consciously trying to correct the āstandardā understanding of the origin of modernity.Ā Rather than being the āvictory of secularism,ā modernity, he says, is a series of attempts to grapple with fundamental theological issues: the realities of God, man, and nature, and, in particular, how meaningfully...
