A Brief Defense of Liberal Democracy

And an even briefer indictment it as a guiding personal philosophy. First, note the definitions that will be used in this essay: LIBERALISM — a political philosophy centered around freedoms — personal, familial, congregational — and ensuring the government protects those freedoms. This is NOT what might be called liberalism…

V Marks of Nationalist Conservativism

Hazony’s Conservativism: A Rediscovery (sort-of) reviewed Before we go anywhere with Yoram Hazony’s Conservativism: A Rediscovery, we have to mark from the outset that what Hazony calls conservativism is nothing like what might pop in your mind as political conservativism. …

Jesus Freak Revisited

1995. It contained multitudes: rap-rock, grunge, alternative, and pop ballads. The themes seemed to cover every bit of the Evangelical teen experience of the 1990’s, wrapped in a retro-ish album cover that looked something like a talisman. It was the thing for a few years. …
