Paul A. Rahe, author of Soft Despotism: Democracy’s Drift relates political behavior to human nature. Rahe argues that governmental policies regarded by some as manifestations of a tyrannical, overbearing “nanny state” inducing individuals to happily succumb to a state of servility are primarily caused by a disturbing sense of anxiety or inquiétude associated with [...]

Keep the Faith!
Marg Delahunty attempts to confront another fictional celebrity… inane Facebook blogger, Katie Couric ambush victim, partial-term governor of Alaska, former Mayor of the illicit meth-crystal, hobo-crack capital of America, “Death Panel” conspiracy theorist, congenital liar and aspiring talk-show host Sarah Palin, in an attempt to get just “a few words of encouragement for the Canadian [...]

What is America?
Ronald Wright discusses some perennial questions about our friends to the south: more specifically, what he means by “The New World Order” in terms of the modern American Imperium and how he sees America in the future amongst other things…

“What if Evolution is Real?”
The demented kookiness of Glenn Beck continues to amaze me…
Here’s a transcript of the entertainment:
