The Second Civil War

Last Sunday, my friend Daniel Greenfield delivered a brilliant speech to the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention.

Daniel explains that no matter how many elections Republicans win, the Democrats, which is to say the radical left, always nullify the election by waging a ruthless a culture war that is a toxic mix of Orwellian Newspeak, and Bolshevik ruthlessness.

As the late great Andrew Breitbart said: “Politics is downstream from culture.”

Daniel is one of the smartest people I know. Thus, I hope that you will take the time to watch this video, or if you prefer, read the transcript below.

Benghazi: No Justice

Democrats believe that the way to handle IslamoNazisis is to treat them like common criminals—or celebrate jihadists like Linda Sarsour as warriors for so-called social justice. (To be clear: there is no such thing as social justice. There is only justice. Social justice is code for Marxist/Jihadism.)

Conservatives believe that we are in a life and death struggle with radical Islam, thus IslamoNazis should be treated like war criminals.

The attack at Benghazi was a carefully planned act of terrorism. The Obama-Clinton White House claimed that the Benghazi was caused by a video that no one had seen. Their lies and the subsequent cover-up has never ended. And now their foolish policies have played out in civil court as a mockery of justice. IslamoNazis should, be captured, thoroughly interrogated, and then left to rot on Gitmo—or dumped out of a helicopter on the way to Gitmo.

Stalinists on the Fainting Couch

Google believes in diversity… but only if the diversity heads left.

James Damore, a Google engineer, went Jerry Maguire: He pumped out a cultural memo and distributed it in-house. In his memo, he argued (among other points) that Google was an ideological echo chamber and that men and women were different. Eventually, the memo was leaked. Since then, the left has gone full medieval church on Damore, describing the memo as “anti-diversity.”

In short, the left has found Damore guilty of heresy. Google says that the memo is “not okay,” which is postmodern speak for “Burn the witch!”

How to Be a Conservative

“Sir Roger Scruton, a formally trained political philosopher, talks about his life and the events he’s witnessed that led him to conservatism. He first embraced conservatism after witnessing the leftist student protests in France in May 1968. During the ensuing riots in Paris, more than three hundred people were injured. Scruton walked away from this event with a change in worldview and a strong leaning toward conservatism. Visits to communist- controlled Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1979 cemented his preference for conservatism and his distaste for the fraud of communism and socialism, initiating a desire to do something about it. From thereon he dedicated himself to helping organize underground seminars for the young people oppressed behind the iron curtain.
