Whining Liberal = Catholic
I had to drive to Battle Creek yesterday afternoon, so I had a chance to listen
to Rush Limbaugh for the first time since I heard him declare Ron Paul a

Hunting for a Conservative
I hadn't been to Jack Hunter's site for awhile. No reason, other than nothing
had prompted me to go there. Then yesterday, while randomly flipping through my
Facebook wall, I saw a post to this great piece by Hunter: Santorum isn'

Nockian Corner
I mentioned last week that I was in the process of comparing the political
theories of Orestes Brownson and Albert Jay Nock. Someone could, with disturbing

The March issue of Commentary has an interesting piece, "The Return of
Anarchism." (Subscriber link

Politically Incorrect Speech Upheld
In case you missed, it a federal Court of Appeals court seems to have brought a
dose of common sense to its First Amendment jurisprudence. A high school student
