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…

Nancy Pelosi and the Divine Spark
Posted on my Facebook page, two years ago. I nailed it then, and it stays nailed down. Nancy has declined in the last two years. She seems on the verge of joining Sleepy Joe in the land of non compos mentis. ……………… Donald Trump famously referred to MS-13 gangsters as "animals." That's not the…

An Unedifying Spectacle
Polemics has a place in politics, but in philosophy? Feser versus Hart.

Protesters?
BLM and Antifa members are 'protesters' in the same sense in which Rodney King was a 'motorist,' Trayvon Martin was 'a child on the way to the candy store,' Michael Brown of Ferguson, Missouri was an 'unarmed teenager,' and Adolf Hitler was a 'statesman.'

Politics as Polemics: The Converse Clausewitz Principle
Would that I could avoid this political stuff. But I cannot in good conscience retreat into my inner citadel and let my country and its Western heritage be destroyed — the country that makes it possible for me to cultivate the garden of solitude, retreat into my inner citadel, and pursue pure theory for its…

Don’t Talk Like a ‘Liberal’!
When you do, you validate their obfuscatory and question-begging jargon. For example, leftists believe in something they call 'hate speech.' As they use the phrase, it covers legitimate dissent. It is foolish for a conservative to say that he is for 'hate speech,' or that 'hate speech' is protected speech. Dennis Prager has been known…

The Coronal Threat is Overblown . . .
. . . and is being exploited by the fascists of the Left to clamp down on our civil liberties, weaken the Trump economy and with it President Trump's re-election chances, and to destroy the Republic to prepare the way for socialism. Or is it the multi-pronged claim I just bruited that is overblown? You…

Nancy Pelosi and the Divine Spark
Donald Trump famously referred to MS-13 gangsters as "animals." That's not the way I would put it inasmuch as it is an insult to animals who, unlike the gangbangers, are beneath good and evil. But Trump talks like a working stiff and we all know what he meant. Pelosi, however, took umbrage, protesting that the…

Is ‘Again’ a Racist ‘Dog Whistle’?
We must never forget the contemptibly vile things that regressive 'progressives' and illiberal 'liberals' say about us. This is a repost from 25 May 2016. …………….. Some liberal-left idiot is arguing that 'again' in Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' is a racist 'dog whistle.' The suggestion is that Trump wants to bring back slavery…

Which Side Are You On?
It is an appropriate question to ask in politics, though not in philosophy. Politics is warfare. If you call yourself conservative and don't support Trump, then you are helping the enemy. Which side are you on? In philosophy we strive for objectivity. We take our time; we consider all points of view. We show respect…

Elizabeth Warren: “That’s not Who We Are!”
This stock leftist exclamation, silly as it is, is sillier still coming from the mouth of the Cherokee Maiden, Fauxcahontas herself, who doesn't know who she is!

Hey ‘Liberal’!
Either STFU about Nazis or report the crimes of the Commies.
