The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Thoughts on Ideology

Readers will pardon my long blog silence today, which is likely to continue a while as I am (of course) knee-deep into the radical feminist craziness as I prepare the next installment of the “Sex Trouble” series. (Hit the Freaking Tip Jar!) Because feminist ideologues propose theoretical conceptions that are so contrary to basic common-sense […]

Atheist Creep @RichardDawkins Destroying His Own Reputation

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.” — Romans 1: 18-19 (KJV) Three days ago, I took notice of how notorious […]

Stuff You Can’t Make Up

From Beca Grimm (@becagrimm): I fertilized some lettuce I grew with my period blood for @VICE then made/ate a salad: http://t.co/N4ZSRmXxkH — dj crumple chin (@becagrimm) July 30, 2014 Have I ever mentioned my insanely obsessive curiosity? When something catches my attention, it is my habit to research the topic within an inch of its […]

Ace, Hayek, Hoffer, Sowell

A few months ago, Ace of Spades pissed me off — entirely by accident, I’m sure — when he recommended Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death, a book that I have been recommending for years. (In 2003, I actually wrote Neil Postman’s obituary in a freelance article for the Guardian.) Of course, there was no […]

#Socialism2014 Marxist Gender Theory: Sexual Minorities of the World Unite!

Sherry Wolf (@SherryTalksBack) has described herself as a “a lesbian Marxist who came of age in the neo-Cold War, AIDS-ravaged 1980s,” and has been praised by a fan as a “fire-breathing, Marxist dyke.” The real mystery is why she doesn’t have a Cabinet position in the Obama administration. We don’t have video or a transcript […]

Our Decadent Elite: Rich Liberals and the Progressive Politics of Daddy’s Money

“Turbulent, discontented men of quality, in proportion as they are puffed up with personal pride and arrogance, generally despise their own order. One of the first symptoms they discover of a selfish and mischievous ambition, is a profligate disregard of a dignity which they partake with others. To be attached to the subdivision, to love […]

The Stupid Goes All the Way to Eleven

@LynnParramore has a Ph.D. in English and cultural theory from New York University. Last week, Parramore made a complete fool of herself by writing a column about a grocery store playing the Rolling Stones 1966 song “Under My Thumb”: As I listened, I thought about how the song plays in the wake of Elliot Rodger’s killing […]

Our Moral Superiors™

You have to wonder sometimes how the intelligentsia have been able to maintain the myth of their superiority for so long, and how much longer they can keep it up in the face of overwhelming evidence contradicting this myth. For example, the American Studies Association (ASA) boycott campaign against Israel is led by New York University […]
