The Fleming Foundation Cultural Commentary
The Kavanaugh ordeal showed the Left no longer supports even the minimal assurance of due process; meaning they have jettisoned the Fifth Amendment. You are guilty until hauled off to jail to await a show trial, if that.
The 8th Century was the era of a great pivot. This pivot consisted in the realignment of the Roman Church—away from a Mediterranean and imperial axis, and toward a northwestern and Germanic orbit. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this politico-ecclesial shift for the history of the schism.
If you want to see the state of the typical graduate of today’s K-12 schools and universities, consider Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, soon to be a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. She told a town hall in Queens, “So, when we talk about existential threats – the last time we had a really major existential threat to this country was around World War II. And so we’ve been here before, and we have a blueprint of doing this before.
The idea of the melting pot, in my view, has done more to harm the United States than any other. There are probably as many foreigners per capita in Britain as in America, but society there encourages them to keep to themselves, to stick to their aboriginal ways and exotic garb, to cross the stage every once in a while – extravagantly costumed and, as it were, becomingly inscrutable – instead of going after lead roles.
Building The Gentile Church The early Church faced many grave crises and challenges, many of which can be summed up in one question: What kind of Church was it to be? This question was first posed as a set of alternatives: Was it to be a Judeo-Christian Church limited to Jews, including Gentile converts to Judaism, or a Christian Church liberated from most of the peculiarities of Jewish law and custom? But a second part of this question was whether this Church was to be a sect alienated from everyday life, like the Essenes, or an institution that existed in...
The Swamp has not been drained. It is a massive and daunting job that is still to be done. The appointment of a couple of preppie Bush Republicans to the Supreme Court means little. That trick has been played so many times it is laughable. The misbehavior and radicalisation of the Left in recent months has led to predictions of increased Republican power after the November 2018 elections. Perhaps; but this will mean nothing unless the right kind of Republicans are elected.
One of President Trump’s tactics is to use popular issues against Democrats. The latest is Medicare. For years, conservatives and libertarians have put forth plans to “privatize” Social Security and Medicare, commonly from the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute. There have been two results: 1. No reform. 2. Defeated Republicans, as anyone who brought up reform faced a Democratic scream, “Don’t let them take away our Social Security and Medicare!”
Carl Hildebrand comments on new study that proves Greeks and Romans were multi-culturalists who ripped off other cultures Allen Wilson is puzzled by the stupidity of church propaganda and the FF Founder wonders if he is alone in condemning the would-be assassins of leftists while feeling complete indifference to their fate….. Join the conversation.
This is the basic fact of American life that conservatives refuse to understand. The American ruling elite and the poor chumps who emulate them hate everything this country ever was. For 40 years high school history teachers have regaled their classes with attacks on white men who enslaved negroes, oppressed women, massacred Indians, and insulted Jews.
My son has written to me from London. This alone shows how much he was affected by the spectacle he had just witnessed, since young people today only ever write WhatsAp messages or graffiti, depending on their economic status and social origin
