Polylogism and Leftist Racism
Anthony Flood sends us to Charles Burris, Polylogism — The Root of America's Divisiveness, Decline and Destruction. History is repeating itself before our eyes. The widespread controversy surrounding President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson as a “black woman” recalls the editorial in The Washington Times, “A Judge Too Far,” concerning President Obama’s earlier…

Real and Merely Apparent Incoherence on the Left: Four Examples
1) Leftists, supposedly 'for women,' champion the right of biological males to compete in female sporting events. The incoherence here is real and rooted in the conflict between opposing leftist commitments. On the one hand, leftists champion the downtrodden, the oppressed, and the marginalized, even when the latter bear the lion's share of the responsibility…

The Left’s Verbal Theft
A lot of conservatives are making the mistake of surrendering perfectly good words to the Left. This is another indication that conservatives in the end conserve little or nothing. The fact that leftists use and misuse 'narrative' or 'problematic' or 'toleration' or 'diversity' or 'equity' does not make these words radioactive. Or take 'spiritual' and…

The ‘Liberal’
She knows how to signal her virtue, but not her turns or lane changes.

Can it Happen Here?
It is happening here. We are no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave, and we haven't been for a long time. Most Americans are now willing to give up their birthright, liberty, for a mess of pottage. Safety and security are their main concerns. The orchestration of fear by…

The Left’s Ingratitude
How ungrateful, and how wrong, to sneer at the very conditions of one's own existence, activity, and well-being! Nature and society, church and state, language and institutions, culture and mores, everything that one finds and was given, that one did not make, cannot make, and can improve only to a limited extent, and only with…

Die Verkehrte Welt
The world of the leftist is an inverted world in which making things worse is called 'reform.'

Honor thy Mother
Our biological mothers bore us into the world of matter; the mother tongue into the realm of objective spirit. Both deserve respect and honor, the latter more so than the former inasmuch as the spirit is higher than the flesh. What the mother tongue receives from the matricidal Left is neglect and abuse and Orwellian…

Climate Bluster
A redacted version of a Facebook entry from about a year ago. ……………………………….. He who does not know is inclined to pretend. A world of ignorance is a world of bluster. One species thereof is climate bluster. "The science is settled!" It is not. What is settled, but only among leftists, is climate…

The Trial of Kyle
The Rittenhouse trial was not about the 17-year-old primarily, but about one's right to defend oneself with lethal force against a lethal threat. Hence the great significance of this case. An absolutely crucial moral and legal principle is at stake. The righteous Right won this time, but the fact that the pernicious Left tried to…

Why Women are ‘Over-Represented’ among Realtors
Have you ever wondered why women are 'over-represented' among realtors? It is because they excel men when it comes to conciliation and mediation. I don't mean this as a snarky put-down of the distaff contingent. I mean it as praise. And if females do not take it as praise, are they not assuming the superiority…

Logical Barbarity
One encounters it in leftists for whom what is not a mere opinion is a 'checkable fact' — hence 'fact-checking.' These chucklewits lack the category of the considered opinion. Considered opinions lie between mere opinions and known facts.

The Leftist as Denier of Distinctions
The 'woker' the leftist, the broader the scope of the denial of distinctions necessary for clear thought and rationally informed action. Here are just some of them: citizen-noncitizen asylum-illegal entry legal immigration-illegal immigration immigration-emigration. This distinction elided by talk of 'migrants.' hate-dissent sex-gender dissenting speech-violence tax-penalty buy back-confiscation et cetera ad nauseam.
