I hate comments on blog sites. I always have. The flamers dominate. They always have. My first site went online in 1996. I did not like flamers then. I still don’t. I believe in lots of forums for subscription sites. I have over two dozen on GaryNorth.com. The subscription fee screens out the crazies. Sites […]

Paul Johnson has written many books. When you write books, you make mistakes. When most scholars make mistakes, they want to correct them. Readers inform them. So, a wise scholar makes it possible for readers to contact him. Not Paul Johnson. He is a great historian. But his website, www.PaulJohnsonArchives.org, has no “Contact Me” option […]

The most influential poem in history is Bernard Mandeville’s “The Grumbling Hive; or Knaves Turned Honest” (1705). It challenged Western moral philosophy, Christian theology, and common sense. It changed the thinking of Western social theorists. Through Adam Smith, it changed the economic world. Yet it was not a good poem. This gives me hope. You […]

The editor is no longer with us. This is from The Los Angeles Times (March 27, 2013). Here was the headline: Editor of incendiary Charlie Hebdo magazine wants everyone to calm down Editor of incendiary Charlie Hebdo magazine wants everyone to calm down In fact, says France’s Stephane Charbonnier, that’s the whole point of his […]

Ezra Klein is out of touch. The degree of his lack of contact with reality is seen in his recent editorial/column on the murder of 12 people in France by Islamic terrorists. You thought that this had something to do with Islam. It had to do with a magazine’s publishing of cartoons ridiculing Muhammed. Not […]

Liberals are already counting the costs of Muslim terrorism. Here is a liberal’s dilemma. “If I run cartoons ridiculing Muhammad, I may get killed.” Check. “If I keep running materials ridiculing Christians, I won’t get killed, but I may be accused of inconsistency and cowardice.” Check. “Discretion is the better part of valor.” Check.
