An obvious Omission

by Paul Gottfried on August 25, 2007

                                An Obvious Omission In his latest column for Tribune Media Services, Jonah Goldberg deals with the question of why in recent years “conservative” websites have not fared as well as “liberal” ones. Apparently back in the salad days of the Clinton administration, everyone who counted … [Read More]

Homo Americanus

by Paul Gottfried on August 22, 2007

A polyglot Croatian scholar, Tomislav Sunic, provides in his newest book, Homo Americanus: Child of the Postmodern Age, reasons that a good European should distrust the US. These reasons are significantly different from those that one might encounter in the Euro-American leftist and mainstream press, e.g., that President Bush is a Christian maniac who is unleashing an anti-Muslim crusade against a … [Read More]

Firing Foxman

by Paul Gottfried on August 19, 2007

A truly spirited commentary by Jewcy-webmaster Joey Kurtzman entitled Fire Foxman may be the most devastating and pointed attack I have seen on Abe Foxman, who has been National Director of the Anti-Defamation League for the last twenty years. According to Kurtzman, Foxman, a Polish Jew who was saved from the Holocaust by a courageous Catholic nanny, has been a morally … [Read More]

Telling Us Nothing

by Paul Gottfried on August 17, 2007

An op Ed piece in the Washington Post (August 14, 2007) prepared by Grover G. Norquist about why we should admire Karl Rove irritated the hell out of me. A tribute to the retiring presidential advisor by someone who is supposed to speak for the American Right, the text praises a man of deeds who “worked to create a conservative Republican … [Read More]

                                  Another Historical Invention Sitting in the doctor’s office waiting to have my sore throat cultured for strep ( it turned out to be a virus), I picked up the July 9 issue of Time, which had a feature story on the shenanigans of Australian … [Read More]

Troubling Thoughts

by Paul Gottfried on August 08, 2007

I wonder how many of our readers saw last night’s discussion with Republican pollster Frank Luntz, a commentary that was absorbing enough so that I was able to watch FOX for more than thirty seconds. The Republicans who had come to the debate in Iowa were thrilled by the thumping, warlike rhetoric of Rudy and his clones but from all accounts … [Read More]

Announcement

by Paul Gottfried on August 07, 2007

Two days ago my frenzied attempt to “make sense of the American Right” came out as a book with Palgrave-Macmillan. My readers are urged to get hold of this slim volume, which Peter Brimelow describes as a “must read” for sudents of the American Right. Copies are available through Amazon.Com. Although it has not been my practice to use my blog … [Read More]

Loose Ends

by Paul Gottfried on August 07, 2007

                                Loose Ends The avalanche of criticism encountered by my blog concerning Ann, Rush, and the GOP’s unsuitability for combating the Left, has generated this rejoinder. One of my less than friendly critics scolds me for suggesting that I don’t see any way to create an … [Read More]

A Glass Half Full

by Paul Gottfried on August 04, 2007

For several years I’ve been arguing over the same point with my son and my colleague Wes McDonald. Both think that I’m too hard on Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. They describe them as clever entertainers of the Right, whom I too would appreciate if I weren’t so damned “anti-Republican.” Because I’m soured on the GOP, I can’t perceive the wit … [Read More]

cultural revolution

by Paul Gottfried on August 01, 2007

        An English classicist, broadcaster, and man of letter, Sean Gabb, has just sent me a copy of a booklet he had written Cultural Revolution, Culture War: How Conservatives Lost England and How To Get It Back (Hampden Press, 2007). Sean’s tract has aroused my interest because of its unconventional revelations about English society and government. He tells … [Read More]

Sniper's Tower

Pathetic London


“Progressive London Conference”: the phrase is simultaneously gruesome and narcoleptic. It hints at almost illimitable tedium, wishful thinking, a tincture of vitriol and much more than a soupcon of sanctimony. It … [Read More]

The inflation from five to ten in Best Picture Oscar nominees means that to have any hope of keeping them all straight in your head, you’ll need to group them. Fortunately, … [Read More]
