Jay Stephens is a young Black woman who says her four years at a prestigious Liberal Arts College in the U.S. turned her into a committed “conservative.” Hoping to be confronted with the great ideas that had shaped history, seeking solutions to the very real socio-economic problems beleaguering her people, she was appalled to be …

Just watched a video of Jacob Blake, a Black man, being shot by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. While the details are not yet all available, the video suggests there was no need for the cop to fire the shots he did. But while I am distressed by his behavior and convinced that the …
Having been side-tracked by Judge William Young’s “compassionate” decision to release a murderous Jihadist back into mainstream American society, let us continue to explore the ludicrous fact that in the Democratic West, White people are now deemed to be Racist not by anything they do, feel or believe, but by the simple fact that they …
Pamela Geller has just reported that Nicholas Rovinski, fanatical convert to Islam convicted of conspiring with two others to behead her in 2015 because of her publication of a cartoon that violated Islamic law, has been ordered released by Judge William Young on the grounds that the young man’s compromised health might very well result …

While his Racist onslaught was given only cursory …
A good many of the blogs thus far published have been intended to establish the general philosophical basis of “small c conservatism.” Let’s now get down to applying that philosophy to the realities of the contemporary world. Ralston Saul’s disparagement of Reason in favor of a Civilization governed by Sensibility and Compassion is typical of …
The underlying theme of this Blog is that “progressives” are literally intent on removing every Civilized standard of Value from the human narrative save that of Compassion. The works of Susie Orbach and Naomi Wolf invoked in my last entry implied that the reverence for Female Beauty so integral to much of the Art and …
The psychological immaturity sanctioned/promoted by the Left, what Sartre would have deemed existential dysfunction, is no more evident than in the writings of some of the most revered of modern Feminists.
