338 Trillion Is a Lot of Anything

The figure 338 trillion is overwhelming. It is something beyond the human imagination. We might think of the number of gallons of water in the sea, the number of molecules in a mountain or the distance to the farthest star.

The Climate for ‘Climate Change’ Has Changed

The Climate for ‘Climate Change’ Has Changed

  Eco-activists are experiencing hard times. They used to enjoy a certain prestige inside the radical left. Theirs was a win-win proposition that invited everyone on board. The cause—the saving of the planet—is naturally attractive because it includes everyone, not just some oppressed minorities or identities. The drama of the cause further lent itself well … Read more

Why Has the American Left Lost Its Power of Expression?

Why Has the American Left Lost Its Power of Expression?

The left has always been adept at using language to promote its revolution. After all, Stalin once said that ideas are more powerful than guns.

Trying to Make Sense Out of Our Childless and Childish Age

Anita’s Return: The Fight Against Same-Sex “Marriage” Is Far From Over

A political myth states that once the Supreme Court has spoken, the issue is definitively settled. Especially when referring to liberal projects, these pronouncements are about as close to secular infallibility as it gets. This was the case of Roe v. Wade. For decades, liberals insisted upon calling the unsettling decision “settled law.” It could … Read more

Immigration Policy Must Uphold the Forgotten Right to a Homeland
