I am disinclined to the view that whatever exists necessarily has a commission to […]

Veritas et Sapientia-What Do Conservatives Want?

Mandeville, LA - "[A] final observation. I am a historian of American conservatism, and I can happily report that sophisticated discourse is thriving on the American Right—in journals like Modern Age, the Intercollegiate Review, the New Criterion, the University Bookman, the Claremont Review of Books, and Humanitas, to name a few.

Southerners Should Surrender Their 4 Remaining Traditions and Just Be More Like Yankees

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - In other words, we don’t care about our Northern neighbors, and because we don’t care, that is the fault.

Honey Boo Boo Nation Undermines Gentlemanly Society To Our Detriment

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - The never-ending quest that we seem to be embarked on for equality is antithetical or anti-nature at its core. There is no equality. This holy grail that we seem to be possessed of, that everyone likes to run around and prattle on about their rights and “We’ve got to have equality.” Why? Nature is not in balance, it never is.
