Not Absolutely Evil
Human beings cannot be absolutely evil, according to Christian theology, because they are made in the image of God; though fallen, they always retain an awareness of good and evil. Recent reports in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo (February 26) reveal that some of the high priests of French existentialism and postmodernity are making the...
57 million babies and counting, RIP
Something died in America 42 years ago today. Thatās when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its 1973 edict, Roe v. Wade, forcing all 50 states to almost completely legalize abortion on demand ā even those states that already had legalized it. About 57 million babies have been killed since. But something more died: Maybe...
Death at the Wal-Mart
Rockford made the national news again in late May, when the wire services ran shocking headlines about a pregnant shoplifter gunned down by police at a local Wal-Mart.

Politics in the Anti-Christian Age
So what is the real significance of Barack Obamaās victory?Ā Punditsā fingers and tongues have been flying, of course, scoring the triumph in a variety of ways: the terrible legacy of slavery and racism has been dealt a conclusive blow; the Democratic Party has displaced the Republicans as the party of Middle America; the nation...

The Vanishing Anglo-Saxon Minority
“The Anglo-Saxon carries self-government and self-development with him wherever he goes.” āHenry Ward Beecher For almost exactly 30 years, Kevin P. Phillips has been cranking out some of the most interesting and provocative works of political analysis written since World War II.

The Sociological Model of Law
There is an adage among lawyers and judges that the two commodities a consumer never wants to watch being made are sausages and justice. Donald Black, University Professor of the Social Sciences at the University of Virginia, disagrees. Professor Black is a sociologist, and he explains much of our legal system’s indeterminacy by examining voluminous...

The Algebra of Equality
When Abraham Lincoln tried to explain the issue between North and South, he said it was a test of the conception on which America had been founded, āa new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.ā Lincoln, inadvertently revealing the principle on which a revolution was being...
In Praise of Cultural Appropriation
Recently I read of a 67-year-old woman who wanted to run in a marathon.Ā She had never run for exercise in her life, but her desire and passion led her to put on a pair of sneakers, leave the house, and walk a mile.Ā Every day she walked through her neighborhood, extending the distance a...
Those Enigmatic Steppes
As one sign of Chekhov’s greatness, his very name is invoked (in adjective form) to assess the work of others. But even while Chekhovian has been called into service on numerous occasionsāin recent years, for example, to epitomize such disparate playwrights as Lanford Wilson and Beth Henley, or a bit earlier to position Lillian Hellman...
Sisyphus and States’ Rights
Can a ten-year-old girl successfully sue a local school board for failing to prevent the sexual harassment of the young lady by an elementary-school classmate? Should an Alabama state court judge be able to display his hand-carved copy of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom? Can the people of a state decide that no state...
The Myth of the Spanish Civil War
One of the last great leftist myths of the 20th century is that the Spanish Civil War was a struggle of republican democracy against nationalist fascism. In reality, it was a violent mass-collectivist revolution put down by Spanish moderates and conservatives.
The New Utopians
Picture the scene: I am shoveling shavings into the team wagon, stooping over in my patched overalls and faded flannel shirt to scrape the barn floor clean, now and then climbing into the wagon to tread down the mounting heap. The young man who owns the new barn, the new tractor, the new hydraulic log...
Are We Still Entitled to Some Privacy?
More often than not, current events offer an opportunity for meditation.Ā This is the case today: The friends of a politician turned international financier, now to be tried for rape, have rallied round him, claiming his privacy has been invaded.Ā Though in this case the claim is downright preposterous, by appealing to the right to...
Andrew Lytle Talks
Andrew Lytle lives in a log house on the Assembly Grounds in Monteagle, Tennessee. It is a busy area in summer, but in the wintertime most of the other houses are closed, and he has few immediate neighbors. The house is built on a cross plan and has somewhat unusually high ceilings. Most often Mr....
Toward Real Conservatism
According to most prominent Democrats, the United States is being seriously hurt by the conservatives running Washington today.Ā While their allegations about the damage being done by those in power may be plausible, what warrants skepticism is the premise behind the allegations.Ā Do those whom the Democrats criticize deserve to be called āconservativesā?Ā Given their...
Equality Takes a Beating
Several weeks ago I was watching a program on the BBC called Would You Risk Your Own Life to Save a Complete Stranger?Ā In Britain, few people apparently would.Ā Far more common is the story of a young girl who was beaten severely in a London subway by several āyouths.āĀ The attack took place on...
Christmas in Abbeville
Last winter, I traveled to Abbeville, South Carolina, for its Fifth Annual Olde South Christmas.Ā To the casual observer, this event might appear to be merely an instance of savvy small-town marketingāan attempt to capitalize on the trade in nostalgic simulacra of a simpler time.Ā It had been suggested to me that, despite the superficial...
The View From Mount Nebo
Last summer this expansive sagebrush basin at the lower end of the Wyoming Range made the annual encampment of the Rainbow Family of Living Light, spawn of a congestive civilization. Fifteen thousand strong, they organized according to their various pursuits: drinking, drugs, nudity, fornication, andāfor all the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department knowsācannibalism and human sacrifice....
The Faults of Woodward and Trump
Thereās a lot of buncombe in Bob Woodwardās Fear: Trump in the White House.Ā Doubtless Chronicles readers heard some of it when the book was released on September 13, as the mainstream media played and replayed on the hour reports of Chief of Staff John Kelly allegedly grousing in the authorās presence that Trumpās āan...
Another New NATO
NATOās new āStrategic Conceptā (SC), adopted at the summit in Lisbon on November 20, is neither new, nor strategic, nor much of a concept.Ā The 11-page document avoids issues of high strategy and refrains from conceptual daring.Ā It is worth pondering mainly for what it does not say. Its six enumerated goals are largely conventional.Ā ...
A Thing in Itself
My Sicilian friend Manlio has something in him of the late Curtis Cate, who was a mutual friend of mine and Tom Flemingās and a frequent contributor to these pages.Ā When Curtis died in 2006 aged 82, I did not think to write an obituary.Ā For some reason, one whose perennial argument with the heart...
The Good Life
āSay, I guess America is just about the best country that has ever existed in the history of mankind.ā I have been hearing this assertion all my life and never fully understood what is intended, unless it is merely one of those ahems that we Americans inject into a conversation when we have nothing to...
Dobsonās Choice: Politics and the Spirit of Martyrdom
During the 1990ās, under the guidance of Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, the Christian Right learned to hate Hillary Clinton, and all her lies, and all her empty promises.Ā To them, she is (to borrow from Dr. Sam Loomis) pure evil.Ā She is a feminist who looks down her nose at women who stay home...
Antiwar Federalists
The contrast between the importance of the subject of Richard Buelās new bookāNew Englandās defiance of federal authority during the years of commercial embargo and war with Englandāand the dullness and conventionality of the narrative reminds us that history is too important to be left to the current occupants of the academy. To enter the...
After the Riots
After the riots, fires, and looting in Los Angeles, both Jack Kemp, secretary for Housing and Urban Development, and Jesse Jackson blamed the federal governmentānot for failing to send in the military, but for not providing enough social and economic therapy. Here is Kemp’s analysis, on the MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour, of why blacks and Hispanics burned...
MH17: The Interim Score
In the end we may never know with certainty who shot down the Malaysian airliner on July 17, and under what circumstances. My assessment, made in the immediate aftermath of the disaster ā that it was engineered by deliberately guiding the airliner into harmās way ā will be further examined in this article. Patrick Buchananās...
Virtual Neighborhoods
āāI am half sick of shadows,ā said The Lady of Shalott.ā āWeāve turned into a nation of TV watchers, video-game players, and virtual sex addicts,ā observed the cheerful old cynic. āHow is that so different,ā asked the resentful 30-something adolescent, āfrom earlier generations that spent all their time reading poetry and fiction or going to...
Treason Against the New Order
I was doing my best to mind my own business on a very busy Saturday. My wife was in England, and after nearly two weeks of playing mother, I was catching up on the laundry, shopping for the dinner I would have to prepare, and, in between trips to the store, I had to take...
What Civilization Remains
We once had a book about Eastern Europe at home, in between the encyclopedias and Robinson Crusoe.Ā I do not remember its title nor the authorās name, but it contained highly atmospheric black and white photographs of Rumanian scenes.Ā There were baroque chateaux, sturgeons, eagles, wolves, bears, wild boar, bends in the Danube, flowered meads...
A Tool by Any Other Name
Chatbots do not have a political bias. Just ask them.
The Danger of Triangulating With the Left
My new anthology, The Vanishing Tradition: Perspectives in Conservatism (from the Cornell and Northern Illinois University presses) does not paint a flattering picture of the present conservative movement. The general impression conveyed by the contributors to this volume is that the movement is driven by the demands of sponsors who do not have a single...
Failure to Communicate
Recent weeks have exposed the American governmentās relationship to its citizens as one devoid of trust or good will. In response, Americans must demand transparency.
The Legacy of 1789
One man, one vote. It seems such an obvious, such a simple principle. What can possibly hinder its implementation in South Africa, where blacks are barred from the exercise of citizenship rights, or Israel, where West Bank Palestinian children take to the streets demanding self-government and civil rights, or New York City, where the Board...
Blurred Lines
Whatās with Pope Francis?Ā What has been his effect on the Church?Ā To understand the situation we need to look at secular culture, the state of the Church, and Francis himself. Public culture today is atheistic.Ā It excludes God, natural law, and higher goods; bases morality on individual preferences; and views reason as a way...
Two Oinks for Democracy
In the year 2000, many conservatives, with or without holding their noses, turned out to vote for George W. Bush.Ā One of the Republicansā strongest selling points during the campaign was Governor Bushās oft-repeated declaration that his administration would not engage in nation-building experiments.Ā After eight years of President Clintonās busybodying in the Balkans, where...
The Tower of Babble
The first call comes late on a Friday night. “Welcome back,” says Mark Dahlgren, the organist at St. Mary’s Shrine, who is nine months through the one year of probation he received for hugging a tree at Tom and Jan Ditzler’s farm (see “For Keeps! A Christian Defense of Property,” Views, April). “You probably haven’t...
The Nationalist Moment
Ever since the end of the Cold War, the standard of respectability in politics has been clear.Ā Respectable politicians are those who believe in international trade agreements, sing the praises of mass immigration, and insist that military force should be used to advance some abstract notion like democracyāwhether under the auspices of the United Nations...
A Picturesque, Unprofitable Craft
Ā Ā Ā Ā “Poetry is the Devil’s wine.” āSt. Augustine In his prophetic poem “The Silence of the Poets,” Dana Gioia imagines a time in the not too distant future when poetry will be a completely lost art. “A few observers voiced their mild regret / about another picturesque, unprofitable craft / that progress...
Guns and the Press
Brrrrrrrrrrrrt! Brrrrrrrrrrrrt! As the shooter sprayed his target, his gun ejected a steady stream of shiny spent brass cartridges. Millions of Americans watched this impressive demonstration on their TV screens, while the NBC reporter informed them that the legislation soon to be voted on by the House or Senate would ban “assault weapons.” In a...
Syria: Idiocy Meets Mendacity
To be charitable to President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry et al, their case for starting war against Syria now is no worse than Bill Clintonās and Madeleine Albrightās excuse for attacking Serbia in 1999 or George W. Bushās and Colin Powellās justification for attacking Iraq in 2003. It is slightly better than...
Property Owners Under Assault
It should be a property owner’s dream. Thirteen acres in the heart of America’s largest city, bordered by two of its most prominent streets, Broadway and 42nd Street.

Where Did Our Property Rights Go?
