Peak Academic Absurdity Unlocked
I hadn't known until now that Steven F. Hayward of Power Line was a Stack man. (HT: J.I.O) Don't conclude, however, that every academic is academented. I oppose the anti-intellectualism too often found among populists and conservatives just as strenuously as I oppose the pseudo-intellectualism of lunatic leftists.

Integration, Free Association, Open Immigration
An addendum to The Integrationist Fantasy. Forced integration violates the right to free association. To add to both the irony and the outrage, the integrators refuse to integrate with the integrated. Open immigration is not only in open defiance of the rule of law, it also leads to a particularly offensive form of forced integration,…

Hats Off to Huntington Beach, California
It was the summer of '65. I was lying in the sand at Huntington Beach, California listening to the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, sing about hot rods, surfing, boy-girl relations and such when a song came on that "blew my mind" in the parlance of the day. But what I want to…

What is Fueling the L. A. Fires?
The obvious answer in terms of tinder-dry flammable materials, the Santa Ana winds, etc. does not cut deep enough. Ideologically, nature idolatry plays a major role in the ferocity, force, and human impact of the L. A. fires. Their source is in radical environmentalism. Radical environmentalism, as opposed to a wise stewardship of nature, is…

The Integrationist Fantasy
Top o' the Stack. E pluribus unum? Out of many, one? It can work, and it did work for a time, though not perfectly. But thanks to ‘progressives,’ regression has set in. Whether a One can be made of Many depends on the nature of the Many. A viable One cannot be made out of just…

Culpably Ignorant Dems
Is a soupçon of Schadenfreude justifiable? He who lives by DEI can expect to die by it. Michael Shellenberger at X: I’m not suggesting that Democrats consciously sought to destroy Los Angeles. The entertainment industry professionals in Malibu, Topanga Canyon, and Pacific Palisades, who voted overwhelmingly for California’s progressive Governor, Gavin Newsom, and LA’s radical…

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 New Yorker‘s Cavalcade of Ignorance
The rag has high production values. I'll say that much for it. Otherwise, the current issue is a tsunami of folderol. Sample: “American Fascist,” Yale historian Timothy Snyder’s contribution, uses some variation on the word “fascist” 44 times across two and a half pages, along with 15 combined mentions of Hitler, Mussolini, and Putin. One imagines…

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…

Homophobia and Carniphobia
One of the purposes of this weblog is to resist the debasement of language and thought, and to recruit a few others to this worthy cause. The term ‘homophobia’ is an excellent example of such debasement. Worse than a question-begging epithet, it is a question-burying epithet. That is, its aim is to obliterate or at least occlude…

Misplaced Moral Enthusiasm
Languishing in the archives of one of the early versions of this weblog is a post bearing the above title. I shall have to resurrect, refurbish, and re-post it. An excellent recent example of misplaced moral enthusiasm is well-described in Spring the Felon, Kill the Squirrel. This short article may help you leftists understand why…

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…

‘Liberal’ Signage
I happened across the following professionally-made sign the other morning: NO ILLEGAL DUMPING I kid you not.
