    Pathocracy and the Liberal Mind

    Pathocracy can be defined generally as a condition of government under psychopathic domination, one in which a sufficient number of psychologically defective personalities have organized to subjugate a vulnerable and passive citizenry.  Pathocra...

    Liberalism and the Problem of Evil

    No one can speak of evil without mentioning its attraction to the Democrat Party, which is now the party of official racism in America.  Political evil is a contagion of psychological immaturity, self-delusion, and counterfeit justification, and...

    The Democrats in the Era of Joe Crow

    The Democratic Party has always been a racist party.  Any interested person who has studied the internal workings of this duplicitous faction is aware of its racist history, its elitist framework, its systemic arrogance, hypocrisy, and intellect...

    On the Road to Dystopia

    When O'Brien, the interrogator from the Thought Police in Orwell's 1984, holds up four fingers and asks Winston Smith, an imprisoned member of the underground opposition, how many he sees, poor Winston persists in saying he sees four.  B...

    Last call for freedom

    Liberalism is a cult.  It is not a philosophy of government.  It is the mask that madness wears in twenty-first-century politics and culture.  Its votaries now embrace an idea system of stupidity and error, a refuge of p...

    The Liberal Problem in America

    Donald Trump brought the void to the entire liberal establishment. He brought it emptiness and confusion and, more importantly, he brought it fear of the American people. The liberal sun is setting in the West, and all that remains for its worshipper...

    Slouching Towards Washington

    As nature anticipates intelligence, so liberalism anticipates tyranny. We can sense of natural order its necessary evolution in complexity, while of the other, its inevitable decline into corruption. The one gathers wisdom into its folds; the other s...

    Towards a Conservative Democracy

    "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven," as the rebellious Satan told his assembled host of fallen angels in Milton's Paradise Lost. These words are a comfort to the progressive left and ought to be engraved above the infernal ga...

    The Left's Romance with Violence

    The political Left is a dangerous place for the free expression of ideas. Its activists immediately assume bigotry in anyone who disagrees with them, and that automatic opinion has poisoned every attempt at a national dialogue. Liberalism has decline...

    The Grapes of Liberal Winter

    The swift currents of liberal promises empty always into the great desert of their futility. Someday, historians will dig into the ruins of the Obama administration and they will find in that moldering heap a record of political actions far removed f...

    The Tempest and the Witch

    In Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, the "damned witch" Sycorax is never seen and presumed dead, but her elemental force works upon the mind of Prospero throughout, suggesting a powerful but unknowable and inarticulate evil that threaten...

    Divided Justice

    If governments are not guided by original principles, they are little more than toys of faction. Every democratic system has created its party of despots. Disrespect for constitutional order is a political disease of the democratic form of government...

    Social Justice and Its Discontents

    “You taught me language,” said the evil Caliban to Prospero, “and my profit on’t is -- I know how to curse!” How fitting it is that after 400 years of spite and profanity, Caliban should leap from the stage and turn prog...

    SCOTUS and the Language of Justice

    The Supreme Court has only law to consider; therefore, it is not the prerogative of the court to decide on issues of moral justice.  But its liberal jurists, who presumably have been informed of America's founding purpose, speak in an artifi...

    The End Game

    Progressivism is a grudging and pernicious ideology. It is a vision of the state with neither Democratic nor Republican principles to distract from the central idea of one-party rule. It is a vision of the state without political choices. It is a vis...

    The Cannons of Government

    Never have the cannons of government turned with such determination and force against the American people.  The theme of liberal government is its pursuit of legitimacy through power -- there is only futility in believing otherwise.  If you...

    The End of Popular Consent

    Always, the liberal wants to change the laws so that he is not obliged to change his habits.  "I don’t believe you change hearts," Hillary Clinton said to a Black Lives Matter delegation during her 2016 presidential campaign....

    The Vote-Farmers of America

    Republicans never know what to do with power once they have acquired it.  Democrats, on the other hand, know what to do with power, but it's always the wrong thing. The affliction is ideology.  If the ability to live, to work, to lea...
