Of Progressive Carnivores and Cannibals
Victor Davis Hanson. Excerpt: But revolutionary carnivores are rarely sated. Once they run out of easy hostile targets—and they have with the collapse of the Mueller hoax and all the other impeachment melodramas—they get hungry and as cannibals start to eye their own. We have already seen that autophagy in the initial primary debates in…

Liberals and Segregation
When a liberal hears 'segregation,' he thinks of racial segregation, thereby confusing the genus with one of its species, and of course, being the bien-pensant fellow he is, he reflexively comes out against it in words for public consumption. But in his private life he practices segregation, racial and otherwise: he lives in a lily-white,…

Prager, the Left, and ‘Easter Worshippers’
Why Hillary and Obama Tweeted About ‘Easter Worshippers’ amgreatness.com/2019/04/23/why-hillary-and-obama-tweeted-about-easter-worshippers/ Dennis PragerApril 24, 2019 Sometimes, a few sentences tell you more about a person—and, more importantly, an ideology—than a learned thesis. That is the case with tweets from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in response to the mass murder of more than 300 Christians and…

Leftist ‘Logic’
The Mueller report found no wrongdoing on the part of Donald Trump or his team. The long investigation, prosecuted with pit-bull intensity by enemies of the president, failed to establish that he colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 election. THEREFORE, reason key Democrats and the boys and girls of MSNBC and other leftist…

Trump Against the Multiculturalists
Excerpts (bolding and some subtitles added) from an outstanding essay by Thomas D. Klingenstein, Our House Divided: Multiculturalism vs. America: What is Multiculturalism? Multiculturalism conceives of society as a collection of cultural identity groups, each with its own worldview, all oppressed by white males, collectively existing within permeable national boundaries. Multiculturalism replaces American citizens with…

David Horowitz on the War Against Christianity

What Explains the Left’s Toleration of Militant Islam?
From 1789 on, a defining characteristic of the Left has been hostility to religion, especially in its institutionalized forms. This goes together with a commitment to such Enlightenment values as individual liberty, belief in reason, and equality, including equality among the races and between the sexes. Thus the last thing one would expect from the…

Why Would Anyone Consider Islam a Race?
Islam is obviously not a race, but a religion. If you hesitate to call Islam a religion, then it is either a political ideology masquerading as a religion, or a hybrid ideology that blends features of religion and political ideology, or a Christian heresy. On any of these interpretations it is not a race. That…

Stalin on Philology
For insight into the depredations suffered by science and scholarship in Stalin's USSR, I recommend Chapter 4 of Volume III of Leszek Kolakowski's magisterial Main Currents of Marxism (Oxford, 1978). It is astonishing what happened to literature, philosophy, economics, physics, cosmology, and genetics in the Workers' Paradise. Not even philology was spared. Kolakowski, pp. 141-142:…

Revolutionaries Honoring Revolutionaries
To show honor and respect is a conservative practice. There is therefore something paradoxical about leftists erecting icons to iconoclasts. Or is there? Once in power, revolutionaries become conservative, conservative of their power, their unequal power.
