The Smallest Minority (another Arizona blogger) has an excellent essay on useful and useless views of violence.
This recognition of the difference between violent and predatory and violent but protective illustrates the difference in worldview between people like me, and the (we’ll call it) pacifist culture.
Britain today represents a perfect example of the pacifist culture in [...]

I am not a lawyer, but I wonder if the following clause from the Constitution’s 14th Amendment applies to Kerry [note: emphasis added]
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any [...]

It is disappointing that the worst of the left and right share my patronymic, Moore.
One the one hand, we have the disgusting leftist moonbat Michael Moore.
And on the other, we have the showboating 10 Commandments wearing wingnut, Justice Roy Moore.
Both are threatening to run for the Presidency. If they do, both will encourage their [...]

College Republicans have been engaging in guerrilla theater, dramatizing the unfairness of Affirmative Action by selling cookies at lower prices to favored groups:
Want to buy a cookie? If you are a white male, that’ll be $1; for white females, 75 cents; blacks, 25 cents. The price structure is the message.
The response by colleges and universities [...]

Quoting Justice Thomas in his oustanding dissent…the Court today upholds what can only be described as the most significant abridgment of the freedoms of speech and association since the Civil War.…

A woman in the United States has a “right” to an abortion late in the pregnancy by asserting that having the child will harm her health. Usually, this is simply a ruse where the proposed “harm” is to her mental health. But it’s the law, as handed down by our betters at the Supreme Court.
The [...]

I originally posted this to Samizdata, a Libertarian blog that is one of my favorite. Thus it is posted from a libertarian perspective, even though I am a conservative.
The crucial points are that there is no way to reason about abortion without invoking moral judgements, and that there are the rights of four different stakeholders [...]

The left, self righteous advocates of peace and cooperation, never forgive and they never forget their hatred of their enemies. Now, as Ronald Reagan, deep into Alzheimers, is unable to defend himself, they reportedly are preparing a merciless attack on him and his ideas, to be aired on CBS during sweeps season.
This has resulted in [...]

I nearly finished reading Ann Coulter’s “Treason,” which among other things describes the liberal “anti” crowd’s methods and inanities. The current chapter covers their ways of obstructing the War on Terrorism, more properly called The First Terrorist War. Needless to say, Hollywood idiotarians figure large in this effort.
By coincidence, tonight I watched “Threat Matrix” [...]

The cold war was an incredibly significant period in world history. One would expect major libraries to maintain an extensive collection on this gigantic historical struggle between freedom and communist tyranny. Furthermore, given the shrill statements of librarians, one would hope that censorship would not be one of their favorite activities.
One would be wrong!
