Paleoconservatism is informed by certain philosophical presumptions that differ markedly from the presumptions of neocons and most modern conservatives. [...] As bad as the ISG approach is with regard to Iran it is even worse with Syria. [...] Who is most qualified to handle what was formerly known as charitable work in our country: religious organizations or the State? [...] America's security depends on identifying precisely the enemy that threatens our lives — and then crushing it, rendering it a non-threat. [...] A growing number of critics have concluded the Middle East overall, and Iraq specifically, are not ready for democracy. A new strategy may be now necessary. [...] It’s okay for God to support a political party, as long as it’s the right party — which means the one on the Left. [...] What has the GOP’s family values agenda done to reverse the collapse of the family? [...] Johnny can't read, but at least he'll know who the oppressor is, thanks to the Wheels of Justice traveling bus tour. [...] O.J. Simpson, Mel Gibson, and Michael Richards have all amazed us this year. [...] It has been said that the French love theories and care nothing about whether those theories work in practice; that the English, in contrast, wouldn't give a farthing for an abstract theory, preferring carefully and cautiously to make incremental changes over decades and centuries, aiming always to conserve traditions, which are the structural framework of society. [...] Nobody – absolutely nobody – need die of malaria. But the inaction of the Canadian International Development Agency suggests that they will. [...] It is time for conservatives to ask the question: does our moral, religious unease, distaste, or other objection to homosexuality outweigh our desire for a stable society in which the marriage and family laws encourage and enforce commitment. [...] As Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has said, "We must look for inspiration beyond our borders, to the laws and constitutions of other nations." [...] If our planet is burning, then chardonnay socialist judges backed by green politicians owe us an apology. [...] The National Association of Chiefs of Police provides age-appropriate new gifts to survivor children at Christmas time and at the time of each child's birthday in honor of their mother or father who was killed in the line of duty. [...] Sanctions usually can achieve only modest goals — usually symbolic — but this is of great use to politicians. [...] We all agree that dowry killings are wrong. But legislation should not create a radical feminist imperium designed to destroy marriage and turn India into yet another western-style predatory welfare state entitling endemic prostitution and single motherhood. [...] Republicans wanted too much to become last generation’s Democrats, and that is the last thing that conservatives wanted. [...] Democrats, committed to the theory that only the political state can improve people's lives, explore ways to deliver on campaign promises. [...] By importing Israel’s Jews, America will have a people who will not fly planes into our skyscrapers, not gun down our school children, not blow up teenagers in discothèques or commit suicide to kill strangers in restaurants, on busses and trains. [...] I have finally came to the conclusion that there might very well be insanity in my family. [...] |
