A ‘Progressive’ Paradox
How 'progressive' is it to be stuck in the past? Substack latest.

Life is Hierarchical
An old lie of leftists is compressed into one of their more recent abuses of language: 'equity.' So-called 'equity' is wokespeak for equality of outcome or result. 'Equity' in this obfuscatory sense cannot occur and ought not be pursued. It cannot occur because people are not equal either as individuals or as groups. That is…

The Moral Horror of Murder
One man takes from another what neither can give: life. It is passing strange that leftists do not share with us this moral horror, as witness their casual attitude toward even the most vicious modes of criminality.

Academentia Update: Harvard and Hillsdale
We of the Coalition of the Sane and Reasonable are rejoicing at Trump's treatment of Harvard. Once a great institution at the very top of the academic world, it has become a sick woke joke and a haven for antisemites and destructive DEI nonsense. VERITAS (truth) remains emblazoned upon its seal, but truth, which has…

Politics by Assassination, Anyone?
Von Clausewitz held that war is politics pursued by other means. What I call the Converse Clausewitz Principle holds equally: politics is war pursued by other means. David Horowitz, commenting on "Politics is war conducted by other means," writes: In political warfare you do not just fight to prevail in an argument, but rather to destroy…

Sponsorship and Censorship
Lefties often conflate lack of sponsorship with censorship when it suits them. It is not that they are too dense to grasp the distinction, but that they willfully ignore it for their ideological purposes. If a government agency refuses to sponsor your art project, it does not follow that you are being censored. To censor…

William Kilpatrick’s Turning Point Project
Mission: The Turning Point Project is dedicated to educating Catholics and other Americans about the threat from Islam by arming them with the information and analysis necessary to meet the challenge. As I have argued many times, Islam and Leftism, especially in synergy, pose a major threat to us. This from December 2017: The Leftist-Islamist…

Speaking Truth to Power
A phrase beloved by leftists, but never deployed by them when it is apropos, that is, when they are in power.

Leftists as Political Retromingents
A retromingent is an animal that urinates backwards. Posturing as 'progressive,' the leftist pisses on the past, seeking to erase its memory by destroying monuments and redacting the historical record. There is no piety in the leftist, no reverence. Try using those words at a Manhattan or Georgetown cocktail party and see what happens. This political retromingency helps explain the leftists'…

The Battle is Just Beginning
Walk the line. Don't back down. It's going to be a long twilight struggle against the forces of darkness, my friends. (Wo)Man up, gear up, but be of good cheer. Long live the Republic! JFK Inaugural Speech, 1961: Now the trumpet summons us again–not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need — not as…

Thomas Sowell Quotation
Remember Dr. John Jay Ray? He is a like-minded blogger buddy of mine from the early days. I received some traffic today from one of his sites, Dissecting Leftism. Over there, I found this:

Stealth Ideologues: Hillary and Kamala
On 21 October 2016, I laid into Hillary for lying about the Heller decision. The post concluded: Hillary is a stealth ideologue who operates by deception. This is what makes her so despicable. If she were honest about her positions, her support would erode. So not only are her policies destructive; she refuses to own…

Red World, Blue World, and the Orange Man
David Brooks, Confessions of a Republican Exile: In Red World, people tend to take a biblical view of the human person: We are gloriously endowed and made in the image of God—and we are deeply broken, sinful, and egotistical. [. . .] You belong to God; to your family; and to the town, nation, and…
