I have not read Jeffrey Tucker’s 2017 book “Right Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty.” But I have read extensively about it and watched him articulate his ideas in a number of videos. One I should like to focus on was a lengthy interview conducted by Dave Rubin in 2018 and still available online. …

Culture Matters! Values Count!
The Postmodern philosophy endorsed by most contemporary “intellectuals” asserts that we are all locked in our subjective prisons, that everything is a matter of opinion, that no one set of principles or values is superior to any other. It is a lie that leads naturally to the myth of Systemic Racism, the notion that the …
The N.Y. Times Exposed
James O’ Keefe’s Project Veritas is a “conservative” enterprise intent on infiltrating Leftist enclaves and exposing their hypocrisy. While the deceptions it uses to do so may at times breach the boundaries of conventional ethics, its quest for the Truth seems to me an eminently worthy endeavor. A few days ago a female “agent” managed …
Stop Apologizing for NOTHING!
Julie Overbaugh is a virologist affiliated with both the U. of Washington’s School of Medicine and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. She has spent much of her 30 year career seeking a cure for HIV, a disease still fairly devastating on the continent of Africa. Thirteen years ago she attended a Halloween party devoted …
Green Dogmatism
On Mar 8, after having suspended oil and gas imports from Russia, Joe Biden blamed rising U.S. fuel prices and shortages on both the situation in the Ukraine and the failure of American energy companies to thoroughly exploit the options available to them. “It’s simply not true,” he said, “that my administration or policies are …
Journalism or Demagoguery?
The three articles I am going to cite from The Globe and Mail of Feb. 26 were all designated as “opinion pieces.” This would no doubt be used in their defense as something other than objective journalism. But the sheer bias, the arrogance and ignorance manifest in each of them, is something “conservatives” have to …
Without Strict Voting Laws, Democracy is Dead
Month after month new reports are released suggesting widespread voting irregularities in the 2020 election. Of course the results of that vote are not about to be reversed nor, at this point, should they be. That the vast majority of those irregularities seem to have been driven by a psychotic loathing for Donald Trump is …

“White Values” are Worth Defending!
Angel Aduwo, the Black female opinion editor of Oberlin College’s “Review,” recently penned a piece suggesting that the widespread antipathy amongst White people for Rap was racially motivated. “If there’s one thing white people hate, it’s competition…..If we consider rap music to be music, then we must question the validity of the claim that classical …
“Progressives” loathe Freedom!
On Feb. 13, CBC Radio posted an article contending that the concept of Freedom is often merely a ploy used by the Far Right to deny equal rights to that by now familiar list of “oppressed minorities” so despised by the White, Patriarchal Hegemony. Elizabeth Anker, Associate Prof. of American Studies at George Washington U. …
Another Fascist “Liberal”
In early March former Canadian Liberal M.P. Adam Vaughan called for Fox News to be banned in Canada for supporting the Trucker Convoy. So much for Freedom of Speech! So much for the energetic exchange of Ideas which Socrates saw as essential to the Dialectic of Civilized Progress! So much for Democracy when left in …
