Patrick Deneen Asks A Great Question: “What Is An American Conservative?”

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – There is an essay at The American Conservative Magazine website. [mocking] “Mike, you were hard on The American Conservative Magazine yesterday.” Yeah, well, I was just being honest. I don’t ask for jingoism from anyone else, so I don’t expect that anyone expects they’re going to get jingoism or Homerism from yours truly. In any event, The American Conservative Magazine’s Patrick J. Deneen posts […]

Culture Turned Inside Out – Gays Can Be Gay But Straights Can’t Be Straight

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Now what formerly was normal, for 10,000 years of recorded history was being normal and as being biologically necessary for the next generation is now not permitted.

The Cult Of Football Is Bloodthirsty

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – You can see that the religion plays out on most Sundays during late August all the way up till mid-January or so.

Check out […]

A Culture Of Dollars And Bling And Musical Expletives Is No Culture At All

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – As I said, we don’t have a culture any longer, not writ large. We have an anti-cult. A cult is something you organize around. It is almost always organized around a religion. This is not organized around a religion unless dollars are the religion, or unless bling is the religion, or whatever the terminology is.

No, that’s not the whole: Give them a […]

Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, “Twerking” – What Is Going On With The Youth?

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – It is a torrid, lewd, sad and regrettable animated gif rundown of what the once cute and adorable Hannah Montana did on the Video Music Awards last night. In the United States, we don’t reward people for being chaste and virtuous, for saving certain activities until marriage, or implying that you would. We certainly don’t reward them for being debutantes or demure or more […]
