Postmodernism and "Everyone gets hate mail"
There's been a recent brouhaha connected with Twitter concerning a certain columnist whom I'll just call Kilo. I ignore Twitter as much as possible. I have no Twitter account, and not much in my life would change if Twitter ceased...

Turning Against Trump
Don't get me wrong: I've been against Trump as a candidate since it became clear that he wasn't a conservative -- which is to say, from the beginning. That's not true of everyone, however. The Weekly Standard's Johnathan V. Last...

Conservatives, free speech and the disputed question
Disputation on the subject of Free Speech arises again. I have written before that, generally speaking, conservatives have a temperamental inclination to let everyone have his say, while at the same time a robust understanding of the inherent philosophical limits...

One Need Look No Further
I'm listening to a series of lectures about the early United States. It's not biased in favor of any particular mode of thought, and is descriptive rather than prescriptive: It gives, for example, the attitudes of pro-slavery intellectuals before the...

Edmund Burke: teacher of mankind
“We are in a war of a peculiar nature. It is not with an ordinary community, which is hostile or friendly as passion or interest may veer about; not with a State which makes war through wantonness, and abandons...

Just Like Free Speech Blues Revisited
Now and then it is good to restate things of importance. The conservative view on Free Speech is an important thing, so here is my bald and hasty recapitulation of it. As a generality conservatives are, by temperament, inclined...

John Zmirak vs. the extremists
John Zmirak has an article that is, to my mind, quite good on the subject of the disturbing remnant, or perhaps resurgence, of authoritarian political views on the Catholic right. Actually, he also gives an example or two on the...

Truth-tellers: "Live Not By Lies"
I've just read for the first time a striking, challenging, and inspiring essay by Solzhenitsyn on truth-telling, "Live Not By Lies." Its echoes and applicability in our own day and in the "land of the free and the home of...

Picking our models carefully
Bill Luse has an excellent post up about Wendell Berry's shallow positions on homosexual "marriage" and abortion. Not having previously paid a whole lot of attention to Berry, I had nevertheless managed to pick up that he is considered an...

Five Years Ago
Five years ago, while credentialed scholars could recommend infanticide with impunity, it was not legalized widely in the West. Five years ago religious liberty was less menaced by busybodies and ideologists. Five years ago the aged, the decrepit, the...

The best of W4--How the Blogosphere Separates Natural Allies
This post was originally published on December 31, 2008, and its first incarnation can be found here. It's intended to express a paradox. The blogosphere and the Internet generally obviously have enormous power to bring together natural allies. But it...

Fragment on Decline
There is often in Conservative circles a peculiar discussion, not to say a quarrel, surrounding the idea of decline. This is the idea that as a nation or civilization we are making progress, not in enlightenment and prosperity, but in...

I believe in equality (sort of)
(I have a feeling I'm going to regret this...) In the discussion in my previous entry the question arose (raised by our own esteemed Zippy) whether the present evils of society (evils from a conservative perspective) are traceable to certain...

I, Heretic
I have hoisted the following from comments, since it touches upon issues worth discussing in their own right. The awkward opening is a reference to an ongoing discussion about offering encouragement to unwed mothers to adopt out. Neither is this...

What else is American Conservatism?
With no pretense to so balanced, searching and profound an essay as which my illustrious colleague Maximos has produced here, nor nearly so elegant an appreciation as my friend Bill Luse has produced here; with only a thought toward fruitful...

What Is American Conservatism?
The objective of any social critic - a category encompassing all those writing about the intellectual life of a nation - must be, ought to be, to do justice to the thought of his subjects, while simultaneously situating them in...

Defining a Three-Dimensional Political Permutation Space
That's just my pretentious way of titling Noah Millman's interesting, and largely successful attempt at a new political taxonomy, intended to dispel the confusion among the respective triads left/liberal/progressive and right/conservative/reactionary, and to employ the respective terms with greater precision...

Lincoln Open Thread (but be careful)
The status of Lincoln in Conservative iconography has long been hotly disputed. To my way of thinking, it cannot but continue to be disputed, though one hopes that the heat of bitterness and acrimony will diminish. Lincoln is one of...

'Tis respectability doth make cowards of us all
In Steve Burton's thread on the UKIP, commentator Old Atlantic said, They aren't hated like BNP is. They are respectable, so they will chicken out in the end to do anything. Well, I think of myself as a cynic, but...

Unseen Chasms of Perdition
What follows is a post I have long and devoutly hoped that I would never fell compelled to write. I intend no recondite ratiocinations to follow, though there may or may not be a few florid turns of phrase -...

Lowbrow Conservatism
What Erik Kain said. I have no grand, architectonic theory as to why conservatism, the New Criterion aside, has largely abdicated its natural role as the custodian of high culture, in all its expressions - by which I do not...

Imagine....
Imagine, that is, a conservatism that was actually, and not merely rhetorically, concerned about the deficit, and you would imagine a conservatism striving mightily to dismantle the Empire, the National Security State, and the Military-Industrial Complex. The seeming impossibility of...

Empire, Destroying Subsidiarity
Those of us of a more paleoconservative predilection are wont to rail against the American imperium and the perfidy of its architects, not least the lickspittles and toadies who spare no effort, and no canon of scholarship or intellectual integrity,...

Political Rationality...
Is evidently divorced from rationality properly so-called, by which it is meant that tribal loyalties usually function as substitutes for actual thought, as sketched by Ezra Klein, in a post discussing the core finding of a political science paper published...

Does Silence Give Consent? or Why the Blogosphere Separates Natural Allies
I was reflecting the other day on the fact that the blogosphere tends to draw attention to every difference of opinion among people--I was thinking of conservatives, specifically--who are naturally close allies and who in person would either not know...

Exhausted
I made a commitment to myself last week, labouring as I was - and still am - beneath the combined weight of a handful of (temporary) declining health indicators, to the effect that I would not write, among other abstinences....

Arguing Conservatism
ISI has released another gem of a book. Its flagship publication The Intercollegiate Review has been appearing for 40 years and more, and now finally has a compilation of its rich content equal its stature. Hardly a Conservative luminary...

Simplicity and Becoming.
It is clear enough that one of the pressing issues of the day is the explosive and beguiling one of the American identity. Who are we, we Americans? What is our character and destiny as a people? The emotion and...

Conservatism In Exile
Rod Dreher poses the question, by way of commenting on a NYT article on conservative reconsiderations and Andrew Stuttaford's dismissal of the hypothetical benefits of a stint in the political wilderness: Do you find it more depressing to think that...
