Is the president a “neo-socialist”?
Obama-style Socialism
May 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism is now in paperback.
Jonah Goldberg has written an important article in Commentary on what he calls the “neo-socialism” of the Obama administration. I like this label. It is both accurate and more palatable than the term “neo-communism” which I have applied to the hard left. But given the twenty-year political partnership [...]

Let’s get this over once and for all. Is Ron Paul anti-Semitic?
We know from the Congressman’s own writings that he believes the United States is controlled by a small, group of power-brokers intent on diminishing citizen civil rights and militarily manipulating the destinies of nations. We also know that Ron Paul believes one of the essential, [...]

February 17, 2010 By 2 Comments
Are this year's “tea parties” really tea parties? What could today's protesters have in common with the “Indians” who dumped 90,000 pounds of tea in Boston harbor in 1773? Quite a bit, actually.

From the Writings of David Horowitz: February 2, 2010

Isaac Deutscher was my friend and mentor and so I write the following with heartfelt regret. He was a brilliant, innovative thinker and literary stylist, but his life’s work, including his masterpiece on Trotsky, is finally a monument to the intellectual bankruptcy of Marxism itself. When all is said and done, the Trotsky biography must [...]

January 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Roman Polanski’s wife wants you to know the truth about her husband. You’ll find that “truth” printed in thousands of articles, a handful with unfortunate headlines like these:
Roman Polanski’s Wife Talks About Sex Case
Wife Understands Women’s Shock at Polanski Sex Case but Says Today Is Not Permissive 1970s

Ever since the French Revolution, radical “equality” and conservative “liberty” have opposed each other as the defining agendas of Left and Right.

Upon reading David Swindle’s response to my disagreement with his observations about conservatism and the culture, it’s clear that the gulf between our views is far smaller than it might have initially seemed:
It’s certainly important for those on the Right to continue to articulate these cultural values. What my statement from my post was intended [...]
