How J-Low Can You Go?

By

I’ve been hearing complaints about the indecency of the Super Bowl halftime performances. What am I missing? Half naked women wiggling their back sides and writhing on a stripper’s pole?   This is the America we live in. This is mass entertainment at its best, the realization of the American Dream. Does anyone really think there is some line that one one can draw between the pornograpny of cable TV and the pornography of the NFL?  Of course there are differences between XXX porno flicks and the pop performances of Madonna, Britney, Lady Gaga,  J-Lo, and Shakira, but the one...

Turning Green Into Gold, Conclusion

By

Before answering this question, we should remind ourselves that one Leftist revolution does not so much supplant its predecessors as absorb them.  Marxism absorbed liberalism’s attack on religion, monarchy, and social status, but it also prepared the ground for feminism and globalism.

The Bolton Creature

By

John Bolton,  turning on the President who hired him?   Who could have imagined such a thing?  Well, just about anyone who knew anything about John Bolton, an insufferable boor, an ego without a human personality,  a man with a silly mustache who talks crazy.

Letter From a Kentucky County by Jerry Salyer

By

What is fundamentally objectionable is not the man himself, who had his virtues and insights as well as vices, just like the rest of us; what is objectionable is the militant, uncritical cult which has grown up around his memory; what is downright contemptible are the slavish gestures made by various “Christian conservative” pundits seeking to hitch their wagons to said cult.

Trump Rallies March for Life

By

By far the most important political development of recent weeks was not the impeachment farce, but Trump headlining the annual March for Life rally in D.C. – the first sitting president to do so. It’s worth watching all 16 minutes of it, or reading the transcript at the same link. Since the unconstitutional and unconscionable Roe v. Wade edict in 1973, the March has been avoided even by Republicans Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II, all at least officially pro-life. Might Nixon have escaped Watergate and remained in office, or Ford have beaten Carter in 1976, if they...

Wednesday’s Child: Tripping Hither, Tripping Thither

By

The plot of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe, or the Peer and the Peri turns on a clause in the fairy constitution which states that “any fairy shall die who doth marry a mortal.”  At the end of the second and final act of this masterpiece of English sarcasm, however, the Lord Chancellor, who has declared himself an old hand at all matters legislatorial, proposes a small change that will allow members of the House of Lords to intermarry with fairies.  This the constitutional guardian achieves by changing the word “doth” to the word “don’t,” so the problematic clause now says...

Middle East Fighting and Killing

By

“War means fighting, and fighting means killing.” — Nathan Bedford Forrest At the risk of being redundant, General Forrest could have added, “…and dying.” He also neglected the war profiteers, for whom he could have added, “…and an abundance of money and power for those not involved in the fighting, killing, and dying.” Whether one considers it just or not, every time the United States government intervenes militarily in the Middle East, there are many people in and around the District of Columbia who smile, pump their fists, and rub their hands together. For they know that our constant and never-ending presence in...
