Mandeville, LA - "Basically, to be a good parent in America today you are expected to imagine the anguish and regret you’d feel if your child died and it was all your fault because you let him do something unsupervised. My crime was that I hadn’t indulged in what I call “worst-first thinking”—imagining the worst-case scenario first and proceeding as if it were likely to happen. My old-fashioned belief in […]
Mandeville, LA - [Editor's Note: The following is excerpted from Professor Andrew Bacevich's essay at the American Conservative website, here, I am still searching for a complete version of Williams' essay. - Ed. M.C.] "If we justify our intervention in Vietnam on the grounds that it is crucial to our national security, we will soon be able to justify using our power for whatever we happen at the moment to […]
Mandeville, LA - [Editor's Note: This passage is pieced together from Will Rahn's lengthy essay on the CBS News website. H/T Mihcael Brendan Dougherty. - Ed., M.C.] "One of the most arresting aspects of the start of the Trump era is that nearly everyone, regardless of their political persuasion, seems convinced that their side is losing. It's a remarkable, and perhaps unprecedented, moment in our history. No matter where we […]

Mandeville, LA - "The decisive reason [to refuse the purchase of a smartphone], however, for me to refuse a cellphone is the opposite of everyone else’s reason for having one: I do not want the omnipresent ability to communicate with anyone who is absent. Cellphones put their users constantly on call, constantly available, and as much as that can be liberating or convenient, it can also be an overwhelming burden. […]
Mandeville, LA - "[A]re there some downsides to conservative talk radio? Taking the conservative project as a whole—limited government, fiscal prudence, equality under law, personal liberty, patriotism, realism abroad—has talk radio helped or hurt? All those good things are plainly off the table for the next four years at least, a prospect that conservatives can only view with anguish. Did the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Savages, and Ingrahams lead us to this […]
Mandeville, LA - [From the Introduction to Democracy, The God That Failed.] "The world-historic transformation from the ancien regime of royal or princely rulers to the new democratic-republican age of popularly elected or chosen rulers may be also characterized as that from Austria and the Austrian way to that of America and the American way. This is true for several reasons. First off, Austria initiated the war, and America brought […]
"Europe has been turned upside down over and over again; and that at the end of each of these revolutions the same religion has again been found on top." Mandeville, LA - "I have said that Asia and the ancient world had an air of being too old to die. Christendom has had the very opposite fate.
