May I quote myself, please? Thank you. The remarkable thing about the Diversity cult is that all the circumstances of the actual human world refute its tenets, wherever we look. I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that there has never been an ideology so heartily and ...
None of the words “Islam,” “Muslim,” or “Muhammed,” nor any of the variant spellings of the latter two, occur in the index to George H. Nash’s 1976 classic, The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945. It is certainly possible that ...
When we contemplate for a moment the actual number of the year we are living through, it is usually anniversaries—centenaries, bicentenaries, and the like—that come to mind. The year 2010 is, according to taste, the centenary of Principia Mathematica, the bicentenary of Chopin’s ...
I’ve somehow missed out on the Glenn Beck phenomenon. My entire exposure to the guy has been from his occasional appearances on the O’Reilly show, which I watch from long habit. Beck’s persona there is goofy. He giggles, hams, pulls faces, and banters with O’Reilly. ...

In July 1939 George Orwell published a review of Clarence Streit’s book Union Now, which proposed that the fifteen big, modernized, democratic nations—the U.S.A., France, Britain, etc—unite under a federal government. The combined strength of this union, Streit argued, and the ...
The Alternative Right website has posted an interesting symposium on the topic: Is the traditional Right anti-Jewish? Taki starts it off with a fiery rant against the vindictiveness of neoconservatives like Podhoretz and Kristol, presumably the senior ones. They have, Taki says, called him a ...
Strange things are happening. In the stifled, constipated political discourse of the modern West, there are quite wide categories of facts that are rather obviously true, but which it has for decades been considered gross bad manners to mention aloud. Now, suddenly, we are seeing those facts ...
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” So King Solomon told us (Proverbs 22.vi). A great many parents, down through the ages, must have responded to that with a sigh, or a hollow laugh, followed by the Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, ...
