Those socialists will love you — literally ­— to death

SOCIALISM: August 13, 2019 So what if we did get Bernie Sanders, a proud democratic socialist, as president next year? Or say we got Elizabeth Warren — no socialist, perhaps, in the formal sense, but a lady given to the espousal of policies much like Bernie’s? What if we got a socialist government? Would it be a good thing or a bad thing? I PUT IT to you this way: It would be a very...
Why now? Welcome to our times

At issue this week...    Personal Responsibility When the tumult and the shouting have died from the pitch occasioned by the El Paso and Dayton massacres, there may be stillness enough — for a short time, anyway — to accommodate a useful question. How come now? That would be the question. How come not 50 years ago? How...
Always — and especially now — the Jews!

ANTI-SEMITISM: July 30, 2019 Aha! A topic — and these don’t come easily these days — with Donald Trump nowhere near the center — maybe just the periphery. We’ll see. This one bears talking about, even so. The topic, superficially, is the international campaign to delegitimize Israel: the Boycott, Divestment and...

INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE: July 22, 2019 Reality, I hate to report, is for losers, meaning people hesitant to make the world reflect their personal conceptions of perfection, likewise reluctant to insist that holdouts get with the program — fast. A common trope of political commentary pegs Donald Trump (rightly, I don’t doubt) as a...
How to miss a big-time political point
William Murchison 07/16/2019 - 6:42pm
TRUMP PRESIDENCY: July 16, 2019 We have a president who dons fatigues and steel-toed boots whenever he enters a room full of politicians and media types, promptly takes an axe to the refreshment table and then invites all in the assemblage to put up their dukes. All oblige — like now, when the big national story, which doesn’t bear...
We, the people of hope

AMERICA: July 8, 2019 Another “lightbulb moment,” you reckon? The city of Charlottesville, Virginia, switches sides in our great racial embroilments, casting out Thomas Jefferson as favorite son and making a holiday in honor of, forgive me, the Yankees who overran the place in 1865. That’s us Americans these days — railing...
