Who Won The Debate?
Comments to Steve Sailer: * I wish the questions were not so ‘inside the Beltway’ stuff but what are you going to get from media personalities who live ‘inside the Beltway’. Does anyone really think Americans are really worked up … Continue reading
Let’s Meet Jeb!
Comments to Steve Sailer: * Jeb is running for The Ultimate Alpha Male Job On Planet Earth. The man with his finger on The Button. The man who stares down Putin. The man who can single-handedly incinerate the world. Yet … Continue reading
How Do You Talk To Leftists?
From Chateau Heartiste: Dirty Randy wonders how to evade a typical substance-free leftoid attack. You can see the Hivemind formulating their comeback: “They must be Stormfronters.” What’s the proper way to respond? Ignore and plow? Agree and amplify? A number … Continue reading
Sailer: If Liberals Undermine Community and Conservatives Undermine Government, Who Wins?
Georgetown history professor Carroll Quigley (1910-1977): “Conservatives now are telling us that we must curtail government, cut government spending, cut government powers, reduce government personnel for the sake of making individuals more free. “Liberals, on the other hand, are still … Continue reading

Different Groups Have Different Interests
If you are appealing to a liberal audience, it makes sense to call your opponent an “Orthodox Jew.” Orthodox Jews are not know as liberal-friendly. It makes sense to me to identify your opponents identity, whether it is WASP, Jewish, … Continue reading
John J. Mearsheimer & Anti-Semitism
University of Chicago political scientist John J. Mearsheimer is widely derided as an “anti-Semite”, a characterization I do not accept. What I find fascinating is that 15 years before he got into trouble with the Jews for his 2007 book … Continue reading
Nature & Nurture
From comments to John Derbyshire: * Statistically speaking, if I am recalling correctly, differences in our personality and behavioral traits appear to be explained roughly one half genetically (i.e., our individual DNA profiles at conception), one quarter congenitally (i.e., our … Continue reading
