A few random posts…

  • Fundamentals (Constitution)
    Being clear about the idea of America, and where it resides: the Constitution. A discussion of what is essential and what should be modified in version 2.
  • Fundamentals (Christianity)
    An introduction to orthodox ("mere") Christianity. This category is a defense of orthodox, historical Christianity against corrosive postmodern (and similar) incursions.
  • Inequality
    Economic inequality, wealth or income, is often adduced as a problem to be fixed by Marxism. Is it really, or is it at worst a proxy for real societal problems?
  • Left vs. Right: an alternative view
    We tend to talk about politics/government in terms of left vs. right. What does that mean? Is there another way of talking about it that makes things clearer?
  • Development (Anti-postmodernism)
    An exploration of the ways in which philosophical postmodernism is damaging USA version 1, possibly leading to the necessity of USA version 2.
