It finds only old fashioned Calvinist Puritans in environmentalism.<br /><br />Also, the move to lock up resources and land reminds me of the king's forest. But we are all obin Hoods now, because this claim to being elite is just self agrandizement that we need not participate in.<br /><br />Whenever I hear that Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman in the world I point out that there were hundreds of her Welsley classmates who have made more money and had successful marriages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-41595775798920726512011-04-13T06:34:18.579-04:002011-04-13T06:34:18.579-04:00I've just discovered your blog.

Whatever your objections are to climate change science, the same objections can be raised against science proving the safety of DDT.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075038336828726670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-42367394677206786362010-10-08T13:10:19.604-04:002010-10-08T13:10:19.604-04:00it's rather hard to avoid it around hereit's rather hard to avoid it around hereDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-78888841009643431272010-10-08T13:04:29.346-04:002010-10-08T13:04:29.346-04:00This is brilliant.

They will use internet technology as you so elegantly and effectively do, Sultan. So many people have forgotten the lessons of history that the refresher course that we are going through now will peak people’s memories about why liberalism has really no new ideas for ordering society. And every time it has been tried it has led to misery, poverty and death.Morry Rotenbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-40113221759098788882010-01-07T21:34:31.229-05:002010-01-07T21:34:31.229-05:00Brilliant!

Yes, I know the title says they're reactionary, but you may as well have said they are simply "demon spawn" it would have had as much meaning.<br /><br />There must be a reason why so many people will find solace in ridiculous power structures. Look, it's one thing to be deceived, another to lie, and quite another to be utterly and hopelessly deluded.<br /><br />When a mass movement exists that is so inimical to the obvious good, there is usually a real reason for it.<br /><br />Putting aside those who are simply dupes and too young to know better. What emptiness is there in people that Liberalism replaces? Why do I stand in a Barnes and Nobles listening to some furious well dressed lunatic spew out "Republicans JUST. DONT. READ!" (well, it was more like screaming).<br /><br />That is the real question. And I say that there MUST be some terrible emptiness in our society to create such foolishness. The question is - what is that emptiness? What should really be there?Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349024830056532674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-19715720805956834472010-01-07T14:44:22.311-05:002010-01-07T14:44:22.311-05:00thank you, glad to hear thatthank you, glad to hear thatDaniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-16473069124903384862010-01-07T12:05:02.536-05:002010-01-07T12:05:02.536-05:00Really, really excellent article.

There is more than one Jewish solution, depending on which aspect you emphasize.<br /><br />But essentially to my mind the Jewish tradition does not emphasize the state, let alone centralization, but individual nations, and each man under his own fig tree, living by his own labor with none to make him afraid.Daniel Greenfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-9983396640766668742010-01-07T00:17:11.398-05:002010-01-07T00:17:11.398-05:00Great Post
