In my last blog I gave a few examples of former members of the Left who had abandoned it as irrational, racist, and ironically illiberal in most every way. The common sense they exhibited in their transitions suggested there is a chance the Democratic West may not in fact commit cultural suicide in its mindless …

An Encouraging Trend
Did you know that “conservatives” Dave Rubin, Thomas Sowell, Condoleezza Rice and Amala Ekpunobi, all began on the political Left, only to reject it and become some of its staunchest critics? We are speaking here of a gay Jewish man and 3 people of Color, each of whom had the intelligence and integrity to renounce …
A Very Inconvenient Truth!
The fundamental tactic of the contemporary Left entails blaming perfectly rational, utterly verifiable statements made by mainstream “conservatives” for acts of hatred which they in no way intended to incite. Pointing out, for example, the militaristic, misogynistic, homophobic tendencies of Islam from its very inception, is in no way intended as an invitation to go …
Responsible Journalism or Political Bias? You be the Judge.
On Wed., Nov. 8, NBC News hosted a debate in Miami amongst five Republicans seeking their party’s nomination in the next presidential election. Upon being mocked for his presence on Tik Tok, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the participants, turned on Nikki Haley, former governor of South Carolina, pointing out that her daughter Rena was …

Mind Over Identity
Julia Malott is a thoughtful, well educated transgender woman who has not allowed her identity as such to poison her vision of reality. She is in fact a wonderful example of the Mind’s ability to transcend the sort of circumstances which the neuroscientists cited in my last blog claim to be Deterministic. Her Sept. 23 …
Truth and Morality: An Autopsy
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 …
