The American Conservative, April 2010
My favorite read from the antiwar Right has undergone quite a few changes since it began in 2002. Founding editors Pat Buchanan and Taki Theodoracopulos are long gone from The American Conservative, and the hard line those men have taken against immigration from poor countries to rich ones is no longer the magazine’s editorial policy. Last year, the magazine [...]

Virtue Engendered; or, Big States Breed Small Souls
I found two highlights in this issue: a review of Michael Sandel’s Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do? and a review of David Finkel’s The Good Soldiers. Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel is a major figure in the revival of “virtue ethics,” the school of thought pioneered by Aristotle. As its name suggests, virtue ethics tends to emphasize [...]

I’ve long thought that the last truly acceptable US president was Warren G. Harding. He was virtually the last president not to have committed American forces to a new war. On the contrary, President Harding pulled US troops out of Russia, where his predecessor Woodrow Wilson had sent them to fight alongside the anti-Bolshevik forces. He negotiated a peace with Germany [...]

The American Conservative, 15 December 2008
Several pieces this time despair of any prospect that traditionalist conservatism will reassert itself as a force to be reckoned with in American politics. What, then, do the writers for this traditionalist publication believe is to be done? At least two of them seem to think that the time may have come to give up on the [...]

The American Conservative, 3 November 2008
The cover of this issue features caricatures of Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, advertising 18 short pieces by various contributors explaining how they reacted to the presence of that pair as candidates for US president. Of those 18, 4 expressed support for Obama, 3 for McCain, 2 for Constitution Party nominee Chuck Baldwin, 2 for Libertarian Party [...]
