One of the strongest contradictions of procured abortion is that the practice is so contrary to maternal instinct. It defies the imagination of all those who have known and revere their mothers. The intimate connection over the time of pregnancy establishes an undeniable affection between mother and child. Thus, mothers cherish and nurture their children … Read more
An era has ended. Queen Elizabeth II is dead, and the world mourns. We can say that the twentieth century officially ended as the last pillar of the postwar order fell. The Queen had her defects. In remembering her, some decry many of her political decisions. Others point to the deplorable things that happened under … Read more
For decades, the American Constitution has been both an obstacle and an aid to those who promote the liberal agenda. True to its relativist ethos, today’s left has not particular attachment to the Constitution. When the document can be interpreted to the left’s advantage, its activists are enthusiastic defenders of constitutional rights. When the right … Read more
Yoram Hazony’s 2022 book, Conservatism: A Rediscovery, comes at a time when the conservative movement is soul-searching and questioning. Conservatives are asking what is to be conserved. They seek to know what they are fighting for, not who they are fighting against. As liberalism decays, many, like the author, dispute with those who would equate … Read more
The philosopher George Santayana (1863—1952) once observed that we Americans don’t solve problems; we leave them behind. If there’s an idea we don’t like, we don’t bother refuting it but simply talk about something else, and the original idea dies from neglect.

The bill counted on the support of 47 Republican House members who broke with their party’s platform and approved the codification of same-sex “marriage” and other aberrations into federal law. Even without the Republican … Read more
Mikhail Gorbachev died in obscurity in Moscow at the age of 91. He was a bright star on the world stage at the end of the Cold War. He held the West spellbound by his crafty proposals as academics, pundits and the man on the street were transfixed by his image, rhetoric and actions. His … Read more
President Biden’s plan to forgive student debt is very controversial. Most students will get a $10,000 debt reduction, while lower-income students will be eligible to double the amount. Biden’s August giveaway adds half a trillion dollars to the Federal Government’s debt deficit by some estimates. It’s easy to be generous with other people’s money. Conservatives … Read more
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has highlighted the inherently anti-life nature of the “pro-choice” advocates, with abortion campaigners urging ever stronger—and more violent—retaliation against pro-lifers. With the conflict between the pro-life cause and the pro-abortion movement now so public, it appears that it is not enough to be a “pro-choicer” to join the pro-abortion … Read more
“Not your body, not your choice. The baby’s body, the baby’s voice!” That slogan put pro-abortion liberals in downtown Chicago on the defensive when volunteers of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP) visited the Windy City on August 15, 2022. With bagpipes, banners, and pro-family leaflets, TFP volunteers stepped … Read more
