The Nation State is a Rational Construct which yields benefits of both a purely pragmatic and more subtle cultural kind, benefits which are clearly in peril today. A complex topic one can’t possibly exhaust in a few paragraphs, I shall cite just a few examples of the results of the Left’s obsession with Inclusiveness which …

The outrageous intellectual bankruptcy of the Left is evident in its insistence that any criticism of the historically self-evident failings of various non-White, non-Western cultural regimes, constitutes an implicit incitement to go out and kill those who are in any way racially or ideologically associated with them. Such is the basic “logic” of the Left’s …

I recently watched a video of Blaze TV’s James Poulos interviewing Steve Baker, author, journalist and host of his own podcast entitled The Pragmatic Constitutionalist. The general theme of the latter being the relentless erosion of the law and our personal freedoms here in the “progressive” West, Baker quite naturally wished to discuss his findings …
In August of this year, the Global Climate Intelligence Group issued a declaration signed by over 1600 climate experts which stated the following: There is no climate emergency…..Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific.

When I ponder the lives of the Bronte sisters, Emily, Charlotte and Anne, I am literally moved to tears. Emily died of tuberculosis in 1848, aged 30. Anne was felled by the same disease in 1849 at the age of 29. Charlotte managed to live ’til 1855 when, aged 39, she would expire of complications …
In the Toronto Star of July 2, Catherine Anderson, a longtime university professor in the fields of gender studies and linguistics, defends the application of “critical thinking” to her two subjects. Various students over the years, she says, have complained that her courses were “too political.” But simply presenting them with the facts without teaching …
The N. Y. Times International supplement of July1-2 included an article by Nicholas Kristof entitled: The Hunter Biden Saga and Its Real Lesson. In it Kristof celebrates Joe’s love for his drug addicted son while lamenting the horrible impact such addictions are having across the U.S.. The “real lesson” of the saga in question, apparently, …

In my last blog I cited Charles Murray’s 1994 book “The Bell Curve” which provided statistical evidence that the species’ various races are genetically programmed somewhat differently. In the broadest terms, Whites and Asians are on average slightly more intelligent and slightly less temperamentally prone to criminality than Blacks and Hispanics. This thesis, of course, …
Rational Conservatism, formerly known as Humanism, sees Man as an Intelligent, Volitional Being whose Ideas, Values and Behavior must be viewed in that context. It is a perspective which by definition transcends superficial judgments based on Race, Gender or Sexual Orientation. Yes, there are racists, sexists and homophobes amongst us, but no one given to …
