Privacy or Anonymity?

Posted on Friday, May 25, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

There is a vast difference between a Christian desire for privacy and the unbelieving desire for anonymity. But this requires some teasing out, which I can only just begin here. First, let me make a few observations that would indicate that we don’t really know what privacy should mean. Vast regiments of people post things …

Obama as Greek Bank

Posted on Wednesday, May 23, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

At least inside my own head, whenever I do forecaster punditry, I feel like I always qualify what I say. Our lives are a mist, we know not what cometh, I am not a prophet or the son of a prophet, etc. But then some years down the road somebody chortles at me in the …

Reading the Tea Party Leaves

Posted on Wednesday, May 9, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

And now for a quick little political roundup. And speaking of that, wouldn’t it be nice if we had enough Round Up to spray all over Washington, but I find I have stumbled into the common error of confusing things that sound alike, and I also really need to work on focusing. The turnout for …

The Problem With Their Syncretisms

Posted on Wednesday, May 2, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Suppose a measure is before your state legislature to build a bridge over a river in your town. There are ardent Christians in your town who think this is a good idea, and ardent Christians who want to leave well enough alone. Surrounding these pro and con Christians are the unbelievers who also, not surprisingly, …

Bloodshed and Buggery

Posted on Monday, April 23, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

So Mitt Romney hired Richard Grenell as his foreign policy spokesman, and Grenell is an “out and proud” homosexual. Well, who could have seen that coming? The issue is how these things get mainstreamed. There is a certain kind of conservative who, in Dabney’s immortal phrase, is the shadow that follows radicalism to perdition. It …

Political Thimblerig

Posted on Thursday, April 19, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

A presidential election is not a discrete vote on issue y, as though it were a referendum. If we were a pure democracy, and if at every fork in the road we all had to text in our druthers (“text FP113 for bombing Tehran,” “FP114 for signing the peace treaty,” etc.), besides creating a hellish …

How Incrementalism Works

Posted on Wednesday, April 18, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

I have made this point before, way back in 2006, but it bears repeating now. The Left has an incremental strategy of making their gains slowly and steadily, and they have been very successful. Conservatives have an incremental strategy of having the Left make their gains more slowly than they wanted and less steadily than …

That Bus Everybody Talks About

Posted on Thursday, April 12, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

I like Jonah Goldberg a lot, and David Bahnsen here has done us a favor by pointing to this over there. Jonah argues his case well, and the best thing about it is that he really understands the problem a number of us have with Romney. In addition, I know I live in Idaho, and …

Three McGoverns at Once

Posted on Thursday, April 12, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

I am not surprised that my comments on not supporting Romney generated some interest, and I would like to engage with some comments that were made here. I thought the disagreement was on point and respectful for the most part, and since Dr. Brian Mattson has pushed his blue chips out to the middle of …

Atop a Massachusetts Barn

Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

It was declared inevitable a number of times prematurely, but it really does look inevitable now. Rick Santorum has bowed out, and Romney will clinch the Republican nomination some time in the near future. This means, among other things, that I will not be voting the Republican ticket in the fall. But it also means …
