First Things editor Joe Carter has kicked off our debate on atheism, Christianity, and the state with the following piece, to which I will respond paragraph by paragraph in this space later this evening:...
Epistemic Closure Revisited Eons ago in blog-years, Julian Sanchez provoked some indignant responses by suggesting that conservatives are too dependent on a closed, self-referential media ecosystem. Sanchez’s original post elicited a sharp reply from...
It’s been decided that Joe Carter will write his post first, after which I will respond to it in a new post here at the League. In the meantime, I’d like to draw attention...
Speaking as someone who knows nothing about economics, I found this primer on the Fed’s plan to buy $600 billion in government debt pretty helpful.
I noted, the other week, the concern with a politicized authenticity in the right’s New Elite rhetoric. Israel—maybe I should rather say Zionism; I’m not certain, but you hopefully get the point—has a political...
As specified yesterday, the debate between myself and Joe Carter of First Things is to begin with the posting of quotes chosen by the two of us. I am obligated to post whatever quote...
George Will and pretty much every other commenter on the right is missing the point of Tuesday’s election. It was not a referendum on liberalism or progressive politics. At play were two factors: one,...
Here’s Rubio’s acceptance speech after he beat not only Democratic challenger Kendrick Meek, but also the slimy, mercurial Charlie Crist. There’s no two ways about this – Rubio is going to be a force...
Here’s my post-election reaction. The public school where I voted on Tuesday was giving books away from its library. I spotted an Important Book lying on the table — Germaine Greer’s The Female Eunuch —swiped it...
(UPDATED BELOW THE FOLD) Joe Carter, with whom Barrett will be brawling beginning tomorrow, makes a highly unique argument with regards to the Tea Party, at least to the extent that he is making...
A website that facilitates adultery is offering to pay a momentarily-famous adulterer $100,000 to promote adultery. (Insert something flip here about capitalism being ethically-neutral.)
As per the protocols agreed upon yesterday evening between myself and First Things editor Joe Carter, our respective persons will be engaging in a contest of rhetoric (hereafter referred to as the “debate”) concerning...
When Hollaback NYC debuted their iPhone application, I mused here that they were soon going to push for stronger anti-street harassment legislation (and got flamed as a heartless, paranoid “libertarian”). Anyway, they’re now pushing for stronger anti-harassment...
A reader writes, in response to this post by Barrett: … you might want to mention my experience about how the liberal media and publishing bubble actually helps empower the Breitbarts of the world....
Is there such a thing as a feel-good tragedy? Certainly this play, in which Oedipus who was horribly wronged previously goes from crippled dependence to visionary strength before dying what we can assume was...
“Here’s an idea for parents, just say no. You’re the one who controls the meals your child eats, don’t feed them fast food if you don’t think it’s good for them, and don’t give...
What a sad – and ultimately selfish and self-destructive – thing for Californians to vote down. Kevin Williamson says that along with the Harry Reid victory, this was the most depressing moment in the...
I hadn’t noticed until just now that ABC News had decided to bring on Andrew Breitbart to provide his insight into what I am beginning to suspect to be some sort of ongoing electoral...
Rather than describe the wonder known as Dwarf Fortress myself, I will merely note that it is one of the most nuanced and brilliant instances of human output to have come about in the...
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to upgrade our service plan. Hopefully this will help us address some of our performance issues.
