The myth of individuality is more insidious than the myth of equality, because, whereas the latter has no basis whatsoever in fact, the former can be bolstered with facts galore: It is a fact that some Blacks are more intelligent or more trustworthy than some Whites and, therefore, may make more profitable employees; it is a fact that some women have performed quite well as test pilots; it is a

I've been banned from Alternative Right for suggesting that everybody in Congress deserves to die. Is there anything wrong with this sentiment?

Excerpted from the introduction to Vol. VIII of his Études sur la Littérature Contemporaine (1885): Age teaches doubt, and experience to distrust. Distrust of the word in particular, since words are like the tongue, the best of all things and the worst of all things. A word is the sign of an idea, and it has all the privileges of a thinking being; but how dearly have we to pay for this privilege

Excerpted from Systematic Theology: Volume 1 - Pages 126-130 Under the influence of paganism earlier, and since the time of Hegel at least, because of the dogma of evolution, many people see the universe as a cold, mechanical, and empty force.

[Excerpt from The Home Birth Advantage by Mayer Eisenstein, M.D.]I have found no one who writes today about the demise of the American family has explored the negative impact of hospital birth. I believe that the decision to have an institutional hospital birth is at the heart of the destruction of American family life. The family starts with birth, and home birth traditionally was a cornerstone

Ochlocracy: (Greek: οχλοκρατία or okhlokratía; Latin: ochlocratia) is government by mob or a mass of people, or the intimidation of constitutional authorities. In English, the word mobocracy is sometimes used as a synonym. As a pejorative for majoritarianism, it is akin to the Latin phrase mobile vulgus meaning "the fickle crowd," from which the term "mob" originally derives.As a term in civics

Backcountry Marriage WaysBorder Origins of Bridal CustomsMarriage customs among the people of the backcountry also derived from border roots. An ancient practice on the British borders was the abduction of brides. In Scotland, Ireland and the English border counties, the old custom had been elaborately regulated through many centuries by ancient folk laws which required payment of "body price"

The Literal Translation is unusual in that, as the name implies, it is a strictly literal translation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The Preface to the Second Edition states:If a translation gives a present tense when the original gives a past, or a past when it has a present; a perfect for a future, or a future for a perfect; an a for a the, or a the for an a; an imperative for a

“This book (The Bible) shall make possible government of the people, by the people and for the people.”-John WycliffPreface to his Bible TranslationThe Protestant revolt was significant primarily… for its proclamation of the radical doctrine of justification by faith, which abolished… the whole social order which depended on the soteriology of mediating institutions.-R.

Contradictory Terms

As every stable society has a code which bids ‘bids men to do this or not do that,’ it follows that you cannot have a ‘Permissive Society.’ The two words ‘Permissive’ and ’society’ are contradictory. The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘permissive’ as ‘each individual free to do what he likes.’ ‘Society’ is defined as the ‘customs and organization of a civilized nation.’ Obviously, we cannot have ‘

In the Amiable Name of Humanity

If this phrase appear to any reader paradoxical, a very little reflection will convince him that it is only so in appearance. For, the greatest organized wrongs which the civilized world has seen perpetrated in modern times, upon the well-being of mankind, have been committed under the amiable name of humanity. No despotic government now avows the ruthless purpose of self-aggrandizement and of

“No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the aid of foreign invaders.”– Samuel Adams (letter to James Warren, 4 November 1775)

If human experience has established anything at all, it is the truth of the principle announced by the Hebrew prophet when he declared that the great aim of God in ordaining a permanent marriage tie between one man and one woman was “that He might seek a godly seed.” God's ordinance, the

The fantastical project of yesterday, which was mentioned only to be ridiculed, is to‑day the audacious reform, and will be tomorrow the accomplished fact.

“In America, we have a two-party system," a Republican congressional staffer is supposed to have told a visiting group of Russian legislators some years ago."There is the stupid party. And there is the evil party. I am proud to be a member of the stupid party."He added: "Periodically, the two parties get together and do something that is both stupid and evil. This is called—bipartisanship."

4 Principles of Radicalism

Taken from The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk:1) The perfectibility of man and the illimitable progress of society: meliorism. Radicals believe that education, positive legislation, and alteration of environment can produce men like gods; they deny that humanity has a natural proclivity toward violence and sin.2) Contempt for tradition. Reason, impulse, and materialistic determinism are

6 Principles of Conservatism

2008-08-10T17:07:00.003-04:00

Taken from The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk:1) Belief that a divine intent rules society as well as conscience, forging an eternal chain of right and duty which links great and obscure, living and dead. Political problems, at bottom, are religious and moral problems. A narrow rationality, what Coleridge calls the Understanding, cannot of itself satisfy human needs. "Every Tory is a
