In tearing down all of our customs and traditional institutions in favor of more freedom, we are actually making ourselves less resilient, and our rates of anxiety and depression are soaring. An interview with the author of A Brief History of Anxiety [Yours and Mine].

Houston based KSEV Radio’s Edd Hendee and Pat Gray have suggested the use of surgical gloves and an airsickness bag while voting for John McCain.
Non-diverse persons' contributions to education and diversity. Imagine that instead of guns, the Oakland police decided, for whatever strange reason, to buy back sneakers. All that would happen is that people would reach into the back of their closet and sell the police a bunch of old, tired, stinky sneakers. Despite the film industry's lavishing its highest honors on films they consider "art," none of vehicles of the winners of the best-acting awards–all four of whom are foreign-born–or even the best picture, finished any higher than 40th where it counts, at the box office. Reflections. The idea that there is a scientific "consensus" regarding anthropogenic global-warming has its roots in the controversial article written in 2004 by Naomi Oreskes purporting to have established consensus among peer-reviewed climatologists and, second, from statements of the U.N. climate-study steering committee (IPCC) charged with investigating the case for AGW and determining likely impacts. The Democrat candidates are criticizing each other's campaign tactics, when they should be focusing on the Democrat Party's embrace of elective abortion. Natural laws are adequate to explain how the order in life, the universe, and even a microwave oven operates, but mere undirected natural laws cannot fully explain the origin of such order. Unlike other affirmative action programs, the new plan achieves its desired result — faculty diversity — without quotas or even discrimination. The liberal mind is confounded by the shooting at Northern Illinois University. After all, the University is a "gun-free zone." The Golden State was a magnet for people displaced during the Great Depression and the Oklahoma Dust Bowl. Now, the state legislature seems bent on driving its productive population away. Deciding whether or not to support McCain is a deeply difficult decision for conservatives to make, reflected in their division down the middle over whether to support the Republican Party this election or not. At some point, conservatives have to take a gamble and try and predict the future – will they regret their decision [...] If voters overwhelmingly oppose gun control, would the news media report it? Both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have made “poverty” a central theme of their campaigns, promising to lift up the poor and put a chicken in every pot, a large screen TV on every wall, and a new car in every driveway. Wherever Muslim communities have congregated in Europe they have made a concerted effort to isolate themselves from the community at large and Denmark is no exception. The problem with one-sided movies of historical events, such as JFK and Charlie Wilson’s War, is that they permanently emblazon in the public’s mind simple ideas about complex events that may be in dispute among historians. Reflections on the week that was. Each year the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and similar federal laws funnel $1 billion to help abused and battered women – or so we are led to believe. We American conservatives are all, in a manner of speaking, recovering liberals, and we must constantly fight the temptation to relapse. There is a difference between wishing that the world was a better place and offering to “change” it, and viewing the world as it actually exists, and attempting to improve it. Kosovo’s recognition by the United States and other European allies like Britain, Germany and France has handed to Islam a victory it has been denied for the last millennium – an Islamic foothold in Europe. Evan Bayh has described Karl Rove as a cunning political operative who rarely missed an opportunity to exploit our national security challenges for partisan political advantage.. Yet a similar political epitaph might someday suit Bayh. Anti-war Democrats smell blood in the water, and their target on February 17 was war hero and former POW John McCain. |
