Global Cooling is a Serious Problem

Scientist who study climate change have now come up with a new prognosis for the future of our planet:  2007 saw the greatest single drop in temperature in recorded history.  The ice age which had been receding for the last few centuries seems to be returning.

Running Mates for McCain

There has been a lot of speculation about who McCain will, and should, choose as a running mate.

Conditions for Supporting McCain

First the conservative champion Fred Thompson dropped out of the Republican nomination race and now then, the not-so-conservative conservative champion Mitt Romney suffered a bad setback in Florida. 

Fascists and Bolsheviks as friends

If Nazis were allies as often as enemies of Bolsheviks, what was the relationship between Fascists and Bolsheviks?  The pseudo-cognition of Sinisterism seldom talks about Nazis at all, but rather about “fascists” and these “fascists” are the mortal enemies of Bolsheviks, the polar ideological opposite of Marxism, and so on. 

Maria Montessori and the Memory Hole

Modern political thought has been clouded by silly words like “conservative,” “liberal,” “progressive,” “radical,” and “reactionary” as well as the notion that there is a “Far Right” which ends up with Fascism and Nazism.  In fact, the Nazis and the Fascists were hostile to each other, like all other rival thuggish gangs of the Left.

Why Not Romney?

As unlikely as it seemed several months ago, it seems increasingly likely that Mitt Romney should win the Republican primary and win the general election.   Mitt Romney may be the last best hope of conservatives. 

Dems coalition of the permanently aggrieved

Democrats have built a coalition based upon a number of different interest groups (rather than Americans committed to particular transcendent ideals) and also to the intensity of support within those interest groups.

Two Parties Defined by their Frontrunners

A political party is defined by who can succeed in that party.  Who are the three frontrunners for the Democrat Party nomination?   Senator Clinton, Senator Barack and former Senator Edwards.  Who are five frontrunners for the Republican Party nomination?  Former Governor Huckabee, former Governor Romney, former Mayor Giuliani, Senator McCain and former Senator Thompson.  Are there differences between these two groups?  Yes, clear differences.

Republican Stalemate

Each of the leading Republican candidates has an “impossibility” factor to being nominated.  Mike Huckabee will run into the problem of carrying big states and less conservative parts of the nation both in the nomination and, importantly in the eyes of the delegates in Minnesota, in the general election.

Pining for a Moral Leader

The issues we face today are all moral.  I am tired of so-called “fiscal conservatives” fretting about all the goodies that their policies will bring us.  Americans have all the stuff we need. 

The Christmas Gift in the Battleground Poll

Just in time for Christmas, conservatives have been given another gift:  we are the overwhelming majority of America.  This is not “news.”  I have written an article about the Battleground Poll every time a Battleground Poll has come out since June 2002.  The results are always the same:  people who call themselves either “conservative” or “very conservative” constitute the overwhelming majority of all Americans. 

Rudy Giuliani is a hero to many Americans

He is a hero to many conservatives.  Rudy is also a big headache to many conservatives.  They like Rudy, but they are troubled by his position on social issues like abortion and gay rights. 

The War on God and Thanksgiving

The War on God was a book written in the 1930s describing the state of religious faith in Germany. This book note only describes the hatred which the still young Nazi government and party had for Christianity, but more important it described how Christianity had declined in Germany before the Nazis came to power. This opinion was reflected in many other books written during this period by other observers from free democracies writing about the condition of Germany before and after the Nazi rise to power.

An Immigration Plan

The problem of illegal immigration is really a problem with illegal immigration from Mexico and from Central American nations. There are two reasons why immigration is such a political hot potato.

Suing Traitors

The depressing and dishonest films about American troops in the Middle East, like the odious Redacted produced by Mark Cuban, seem to be immune to pressure from patriotic Americans. Although the films lose huge amounts of money, the billionaire producers of the films do not care. Hollywood and the coastal elites love bashing America and the financial bottom line in these films simply do not matter to anti-Americans with billions of dollars of personal wealth.

Fascism was Always Leftist

Don Feder, a brilliant conservative commentator, posted an article recently which calls for a "Left Fascism Awareness Week." The article (well worth reading) describes just how totalitarian academia and other institutions of our society have become. Everything Feder writes about is valuable and true, and I have only one problem with his article: Fascism has always been on what we have come to call the "Left."
