How J-Low Can You Go?

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

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

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.

Turning Green to Gold, Part One of Two

Greenies would like to terrify us into totalitarian measures designed to eliminate human civilization—if not humanity itself—from the planet.  Manmade Global Climate Change (finally) is the latest proof that our way of life, especially our bourgeois individualism and weird attachment to private property, is evil.

A Time to Kill? Part Two

The consequences of war are one of the elements in Christian theories of just war.  Now, few Americans are sufficiently Christian as to take Christian arguments seriously.  They may justly claim to have “joy joy joy” down in their hearts, but that joy will not prevent them from divorcing their wives, cheating on their taxes, or watching Hollywood movies

Wednesday’s Child: A Victory for Labor

No, it isn’t a mistake, my title.  It’s not like I don’t read the papers, you know.  But in the stuffy atmosphere of Tory triumphalism, I think, the gentle reader may well be wishing for a window on the world to be opened.  So what really happened in Britain last week?  Well, basically, the two main political parties have exchanged roles, which is not, moreover, entirely a bad thing.  It’s both good news and bad.  Let me start with the good news. A number of pollsters analyzing the general election have spoken of a new divide in British society, as...
