Is the United States a grand experiment, a new covenant invented out of whole cloth by the fertile minds of the founders from never before seen ideas or is it a nation spawned from deeply rooted traditions of western thought? This was the question posited in a one-day-long conference on classicism in [...]

We read:
“A swastika along Highway 36 flown on private property in Junction City is just one example of hate speech in Lane County, according to County Commissioner Pete Sorenson. He says flags like this are legal on private property, but he still doesn’t want to see them. “This kind of hate speech is [...]

Judge Andrew Napolitano announced on the Glenn Beck Show this week that he is planning to do a Constitutional Law seminar on Fox News. I see this as the next avenue of Tea Parties: We begin to talk about the U.S. Constitution, and what liberty really consists of, in detail, and [...]
A Fitting Memorial to Veterans

An inscription on a WWII monument in Kohima, India fittingly describes the sacrifices that our soldiers make with their service to our nation. And on this Veterans Day it is also fitting to focus on it. The Inscription says:
“When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We [...]

Philosophy is a rather vague term used to cover a lot of loose thinking. I belong to the tradition called Anglo-Saxon empiricism, though some of the most notable exponents of Anglo-Saxon empiricism were not Anglo-Saxon. Ludwig Wittgenstein, for instance, was an Austrian Jew. Anglo-Saxon empiricists restrict their task to something quite akin [...]

The 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has become a rather big deal over the last few days, with lots of people chiming in in the media. They all seem to be forgetting one thing: it would not have happened, at least certainly not that early, if it wasn’t for Reagan’s brilliant [...]

IT’S ALL HAPPENED BEFORE (1)
An email from Wayne Richards [theamazingrichards@gmail.com] below:
I’ve reached my own personal tipping point. I’ve heard once too often that the Arctic ice melt of 2007 was unprecedented, that it’s going to happen again, only worse, and that we’re all doomed. Including the polar bears. Never before in history…etc.

On MSNBC on October 27, Rachel Maddow interviewed Jane Hamsher, well-known Hollywood roustabout and left-wing blogger for FireDogLake.com. The subject was the progress of Obamacare in the Senate and Senator Joe Lieberman’s warning that he might join a Republican filibuster of the Baucus bill if it contained the so-called public option.

I’ve been hearing some smack being talked about the Marines here, and let me tell you — the Marines are THE BEST team to be on for the Project Valour-IT fundraising competition. The only real competition we have is the Army, and come on, who really thinks the Army can compete with the Marines? [...]

Well, we lost the lead to the Army again! I mean, really… how could we be losing to these guys?
Luckily, we’re still right on their heels and there’s plenty of time for us to get a resounding lead. And we’ve got a spirited team this year. We’ve got all kinds of fun [...]

Check this out. I was just talking to my friend at work. He happens to be black, and we don’t agree completely on race. However, I had some interesting conversations with him on race and politics. We discussed how statistically the African American race has more fathers leaving their families than [...]

I believe that Christianity is the single best influence on mankind. It is responsible for Western civilization’s flourishing, it is responsible for the heights of freedom and liberty that untold billions of humans have enjoyed and will enjoy in the future. Certainly the bedrock of that success is the Christian Bible.
So, don’t [...]

We’ve had Briffa’s “One tree” proof of global warming, now we have a “One lake” proof of global warming!
And the one lake could be as atypical as Briffa’s solitary Russian tree. But Warmists are great cherry-pickers. Amusing that the front-page lead-in to the article below was: ‘Proof’ humans cause global [...]
