Top Unconscious Election Issue Dates to 1949
Although I can’t prove it, I think an unconscious element in every presidential election is the fear a candidate might get us into a nuclear war. In my long career of voting for president, beginning with Ford/Carter in 1976, I certainly had a “gut loathing” of only two candidates I thought would be unstable and liable to lunge for the Nuclear Football and press the Button: John McCain, a Republican, in 2008, and Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, in 2016. I think a lot of voters shared that fear. There’s even a 1999 book, “The Gift of Fear and Other Survival...
The Tech Left, Censorship and the 2020 Election
Although he’s back on Twitter as of this writing, recently the tech giant locked gun scholar John Lott out of his account. He’s been the main source for my writing on guns and politics for two decades. And when it came out I reviewed his main book, “More Guns, Less Crime” – great title – as well as one of his other books. Lott’s “crime”? He actually read the New Zealand mass killer’s “manifesto” and quoted its socialist and environmentalist sections. That violated New Zealand’s policy of banning all discussion of the killings. But since when do New Zealand’s policies...
Podcast: Urban Blight–The Solution
Anyone with one eye half open is aware that American cities have become jungles of violence and sewers of vice. Unfortunately, most of the remedies proposed are worse than the disease. The only possible way out lies with changes more radical than Eastern Europe undertook at the end of the Cold War.
The National Conservatism Hullabaloo
I’ve seen a lot of different iterations of “conservatism” in my life, so I think I’ll pass on the new National Conservatism movement, which just held a conference in Washington, D.C. The least they could have done was hold the shindig out there in the “nation,” somewhere down in Flyover Country. How do you find out if it “plays in Peoria” if you’re not in Peoria? I’m also allergic to using “nationalism” instead of “patriotism.” Dr. Fleming criticized “nationalism” here. He makes the salient point that “nationalism” erases localism. It’s ironic the National Conservative movement is run by something called...
Wednesday’s Child: Who’s On Fleek
Called “Google Camp,” presumably because to Google’s event organizers being camp is always a good thing, the party drew some 300 of the great and the good who had used 114 private planes and an armada of megayachts to get here, expanding Sicily’s carbon footprint, by nearly one thousand tons of carbon dioxide, to the size of a Neanderthal’s flip-flop.
Total Recall
Jerry Nadler says Trump’s rhetoric reminds him of Germany in the 1930’s. I didn’t know he was that old.
Globalism Begins at Home–The North American Union
The NAU is an alleged plot to merge the three nations of North America—the United States, Canada, and Mexico—into a union that will function something like the European Union. If the first step toward unification is represented by the “NAFTA Highway”—a free-trade hole in the American border stretching from Mexico to Canada proposed by former Texas Governor and Bush family representative Rick Perry—the apogee will be the issuance of a new common currency, the Amero.
Photios, the Franks, and the Filioque, Conclusion
This is the actual conclusion to the series. The editor mistakenly reposted part 3 yesterday.
