An integral aspect of the Left’s Ethos is the belief that we do not have Free Will, that our beliefs and values are determined for us by factors beyond our control or understanding. Several recent books endorsing this hypothesis come to mind, including Francis Crick’s “The Astonishing Hypothesis” [1994], Sam Harris’ “The Moral Landscape” [2010] …

Is it Stupidity or Hypocrisy? I Really don’t Know.
As reported by Sarah Arnold in an Oct. 29 article on Townhall’s website, ABC, NBC and CBS, which devoted approximately 9 hours of coverage to the Hamas assault on Israel between Oct. 7 and 22, spent not 1 second informing their viewers of the pro-Hamas sentiments of several Democratic members of the House of Representatives, …

Common Sense is Right Wing?
As I have said repeatedly, true “conservatism” is decidedly of the Middle, rooted in simple common sense which is constantly demonized as “far right” by “liberals” because common sense is incompatible with their neo-Marxist narrative. The recent slaughter of over 20 innocent people in Lewiston, Maine, has predictably led many on the Left to call …
Morality Transcends Politics, You Fools!
In the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel, pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been held across the States, many by students at the nation’s various universities. This is hardly surprising given the caliber of “intellectuals” presently allowed to teach at those institutions, no doubt in the name of “inclusiveness.” Russell Rickford is an African American professor …
Crass Ideology parading as Insight
Anyone who visits my apartment will tell you I have accumulated stacks of newspaper clippings over the last few years, 90% of which contain articles I find utterly devoid of any degree of intellectual integrity. As the writers of said articles are hardly willing to admit they are motivated by Ideological Bias rather than any …
They Support the Slaughter of the Innocent ???
The history of Middle Eastern Jews and their Arab neighbors is too complex to fully explore here. Gaza, the West Bank and what is now Israel were under British rule from the 20s ’til 1948 when Great Britain granted the Jews their own state as a haven from their various persecutors. In the light of …

The Superficial Left
In an article published by the Free Press of Bari Weiss on Oct. 2, Freddie DeBoer, a devout Marxist, explains why he feels the contemporary Left has betrayed its fundamental values. Ironically, in doing so, he exposes the superficiality of those values. Hopeful that the workers of the world might still unite in toppling the …
The Nation State is on Life Support, Courtesy of the Left.
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 …

If I Criticize Islam, Am I Suggesting you Kill a Muslim?
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 …

The Law as a Political Weapon!
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 …
