The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Cultural Survival Instinct

The counter-jihad blogger known as Fjordman has an essay up at David Horowitz’s Front Page Magazine about the situation in Norway. Norway’s immigrant population is small compared to that in the United States, but the problems arising seem much worse: In May 2011 [Labour Party activist Eskil Pedersen] pressed criminal charges against a Member of Parliament, Christian [...]

Teaching Your Kids to Hate You

Donald Douglas calls attention to an interesting argument by Bruce Thornton about the “trickle-down” of leftism in education: We often focus on the ideological biases of the university, where the more lunatic examples of political correctness get the most attention. But in education as in economics, there is a trickle-down effect. The grandees at the [...]

Why I’m Not on the Harvard Faculty

Besides the fact that all I’ve got is a bachelor’s degree from a third-tier state university, there’s also the problem that I don’t think it’s necessary to apologize for saying bad things about dead bisexual British economists, which is now apparently taboo. You can badmouth dead people or defame the British or libel an economist [...]

Obama Administration’s Benghazi Lies Exposed as State Department Cover-Up

Flaming skull alert at Ace of Spades for the release of e-mails confirming that (a) officials knew from the outset that the attack on the consulate in Libya was the work of terrorists, but (b) this information was suppressed for political purposes: State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland, worried that members of Congress would use the [...]

The Left Hates Howard Kurtz, Which Doesn’t Mean We Should Love Him, But …

@tobyharnden @howardkurtz I agree.This defenestration feels like it’s about something else.#mobbing — Instapundit.com (@instapundit) May 3, 2013 “Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.” – Herbert Marcuse, “Repressive Tolerance,” 1965 The Internet never forgets, and I’m sure someone (probably Ed Driscoll) will unearth the [...]

Liberal Media Bias and Self-Selection

C’mon, @aceofspadeshq: “Something Faranze-Gupta or whatever”?@thegarance is no Max Blumenwhatever! minx.cc/?post=339613 — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) May 1, 2013 Some years ago — when our daughter, now 23, was in kindergarten, to be specific — I gave up on the public school system. It’s doomed beyond all hope of redemption, and conservatives who think otherwise are [...]

University Logo as Rorschach Inkblot

Instapundit calls our attention to the case of a feminist student at the University of Connecticut who saw rape in the school’s revamped logo for its Huskies sports program. And to understand just what this reaction means, you really should read the “open letter” that Carolyn Luby wrote to UConn president Susan Herbst: Dear President [...]

The #BlockedByDavidSirota Club: Membership Is Growing Rapidly!

Let’s make it a hashtag: Tweet Boston bombing facts at @davidsirota and join the #BlockedByDavidSirota club. @proteinwisdom #tcot — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) April 20, 2013 “Philadelphia mayoral candidate Dwight Evans yesterday accepted the resignation of his campaign manager and fired the deputy manager after learning that the deputy was linked to a bogus Web [...]

Stop the Killing. Stop the Crying.

Trang Bang, South Vietnam, June 8, 1972 (Photo: Nick Ut, Associated Press) Did I ever mention that I can’t stand to hear children cry? It’s rather odd, considering I’m a father of six, that I can’t stand the sound of a crying child. When my kids were babies, I’d take them for long walks, rocking them [...]

UC-Irvine English Lecturer Kaufman Demonstrates His Psychic Powers

Scott Eric Kaufman lectures at UC-Irvine, 2007 “As the sarcastic title and tone of ‘Homophobic Bigotry Update’ indicates, McCain knows that for him and his audience this is a ‘Dog Bites Man’ story. He’s just not honest enough to admit that he wants to call attention to what he believes to be an epidemic of [...]

If Obama Has Lost Garance …

Garance Franke-Ruta is a serious lefty writer, and also a friend of mine, and she gets all critical theory in analyzing President Obama’s declaration that Kamala Harris is the “best-looking attorney general,” saying that the president’s error was “in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of [...]
