What other Terms are there?

Posted November 5, 2013 By John C Wright

Let me recommend Mike Flynn’s journal to you:

I came across this interview with David Berlinski and in interviewer who, back when I was a newspaper editor, if I saw this degree of unprofessional opinionated argument with an interviewee, I would have fired him.

.. Why do you think the debate about Darwin’s theory of evolution has taken on such a nasty turn?

David Berlinski: Nasty, eh? If so, the nastiness is not entirely ecumenical. As far as I can tell, only one side is now occupying the gutter, even though the gutter is, as gutters generally are, more than spacious enough for two. But you raise a good question. Why are Darwinian biologists so outraged? Like the San Andreas fault, the indignation conspicuous at blogs such as The Panda’s Thumb or Talk Reason is now visible from outer space.

Vote for Cuccinnelli

Posted November 4, 2013 By John C Wright

UPDATE: The race has just been called for the Democrat machine. Our man lost by less than two percentage points. The machine successfully punished the center of opposition to Obamacare. This is a loss for all Americans. Farewell to the Virginia we once knew. Welcome to Pottersville.

This is an guest post from Mark Levin, who, along with Chthulhu and Jackie Gleason is known as ‘The Great One’. I thought it worth reprinting in full, in the hopes that any of my readers, seeing this on election day, would trouble himself to go vote. This race will be very close indeed, and the outcome disastrous if the Obama Machine conquers the fair and free Commonwealth of Virginia, and reduces it to the Mordor of Maryland.

The RINOs want a Terry McAuliffe victory in Virginia.

The RINOs want a Terry McAuliffe victory in Virginia.

Many in the GOP establishment, from major fundraisers and consultants, to GOP officeholders such as the GOP Lt. Gov and mayor of Virginia Beach, have either trashed Attorney General Ken Cuccinnelli or endorsed McAuliffe outright. The GOP national machine has done next to nothing for Cuccinnelli. And GOP bag man, Karl Rove, is all over Fox without a word of support for Cuccinnelli, while he schemes and whispers behind the scenes against conservatives nationwide.

Having tried to sabotage Cuccinnelli’s candidacy from the start, these GOP actors are hoping for a Cuccinnelli loss and a big Chris Christie win (built on a Huey Long style of politics) to make the case that only big government Republicans can win and limited government, constitutional conservatives, such as Tea Party activists, are too extreme to prevail. They’ve already written the script.

The End of Days and the Rule of Gray

Posted November 3, 2013 By John C Wright

I had an interesting, and admittedly disturbing experience, which made me reflect upon the end of the world.

I was listening to a radio debate between a Leftist and a Conservative concerning whether or not the Administration lied by making repeated, emphasized, and unambiguous assertions that the (ironically named) Affordable Health Care Act would not outlaw any plan, any policy or any doctor you yourself wanted to keep, if you were satisfied with it.

Chik Fil A Day for Orson Scott Card

Posted November 2, 2013 By John C Wright

That political lobby, who, while not being perverse in a sexual way themselves, seek to uphold, applaud and spread sexual perversion as the norm, and to deter, discourage, and shame whatever is decent and normal, declared a boycott of ENDER’S GAME, the latest sciffy movie to hit the theaters this weekend.

It is not a film to which I would otherwise go. My purse is empty and my calendar is full. But when the brazen trumpets of Mordor sound in the dark hills where the barbarians lurk, the Men of the West must raise the horn and sound the call.

I am asking everyone who reads these words to go to this film, to make its opening weekend a rousing success, and to create a lesson for the barbarians.

These poor, sorry souls have made themselves the enemies of Western Civilization and Christ. We must treat them as Christ treated His enemies, that is, with mercy and lovingkindness.

But we must not surrender to them.
