Tucker Carlson: The New G.K. Chesterton?

By |2023-07-04T23:06:12-05:00April 29th, 2023|Categories: Christian Humanism, G.K. Chesterton|

Rather than being condemned as a manipulative populist feeding the people’s paranoia, Tucker Carlson should be commended for asking us to reconsider the first principles of conservatism, and for addressing the same ideas that G.K Chesterton also believed to be a threat to society: materialism, imperialism, feminism, and progressivism. Responding to Mitt Romney’s op-ed in [...]

All Americans would probably agree that the current immigration situation is a mess. The proof of this is that no one can discuss the issue without having to defend something awful. Immigration hawks must argue for separating families and deporting people who contribute to the economy while immigration supporters have to account for the “bad [...]

The Best Way to Fight Leftism

By |2020-02-23T23:30:39-06:00February 23rd, 2020|Categories: Conservatism, Liberalism|

While the conservative must access a whole library of great books to make his case for the Western tradition, the leftist can just recite mantras in his call for a clean-slate utopia. In musical terms, the conservative must compose a great opera while the leftist responds with a pop song. So how do we conservatives [...]

Leftism Isn’t a Religion, It’s Something Worse

By |2019-11-09T22:25:00-06:00November 17th, 2019|Categories: Christianity, Liberalism|

Like Christians of old confronting the idol-worship of the pagans, we must not attempt to parse through the dense tangles of Leftist culture's false beliefs and mythology and make corrections; instead we must create greater counter-movements based on truth and authentic experience. It has become common among today’s conservatives to call environmentalism, socialism, militant feminism, [...]

T.S. Eliot’s poem, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” shows that men do not need more pleasurable escapes or more time, but loving friends and an introduction to reality. They need to listen to human voices instead of the illusive mermaids out in the ocean. And they need to do this before the shock [...]

By |2018-05-18T16:24:45-05:00May 18th, 2018|Categories: Catholicism, Christianity, Culture, Science, Technology, Television|

Black Mirror succeeds at making viewers consider the ways humanity is being changed by technology.
