Firing Line Friday: Is the Anti-Terror Bill a Danger to Civil Liberties? Part I
In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”. The question of whether certain measures are necessary for safety to protect out liberties or an attack on … Continue reading
Quick Takes – Shutting Down DEI In Academia: LGBT Spectrum Center Closes; DEI Discontinued At Emory; Inclusive Excellence Out At VCU
Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on. The focus this time: Good riddance to bad policy. First, a little mood music: Carrying … Continue reading

Will “Print The Poster” Become The New “Bake The Cake”?
Masterpiece Cakeshop reserved the right to refuse celebrate Same-Sex Marriage by turning down a request to make a cake that celebrated just that. People on the Right were uniformly outraged, and quite rightly so, over this and the violation of … Continue reading
On The Surrender Of Freedom
Freedom can be surrendered passively, and rarely won. An insightful article, “Psychology, Security, and the Subtle Surrender of Freedom”, that opines on this and both de Tocqueville and Sir Roger Scruton is well worth a full read. A few comments … Continue reading
