I had a fair amount of interaction with him about a decade ago. Same man he is onstage, but maybe a little more quiet. His raw IQ is a lot higher than most politicians out there. I'd love to see what he does with a state as great as Texas.

Correct. This is mostly a stunt. There are a lot of rumors out there about people running to his right in the Primary, so he's looking to score points where he can with the base. That said, I'll be happy when the bricks get a laying. It's something, but it won't stop me from supporting Allen...

It's sad America is not a beacon of order and sanity. Esau sold his birthright for stew. Honestly, it was a more reasonable trade than whatever we Americans have done to our country.

People who like bagels, rising interest rates, and introspective novels.

Mixed fibres are itchy. Tassels are ugly.

This is why I am a Calvinist. The Word is sufficient truth, not exhaustive truth. It establishes Man's responsibility and God's sovereignty. The exact relationship between the two can be charted to a degree, but the precise nature is left to the mind of God alone. We may never be able to...

You can find decent people under even the most diabolical regimes.

In terms of political order, before FDR. In terms of discernible social order, before LBJ.

There is a pretty wide spectrum of opinions on the Right on almost any topic. The one thing we all seem to have in common is an opposition to the radical humanism planted in the early modern period, nurtured in the enlightenment, and made to bloom in the 20th century.

We have the leadership we deserve.

Comparable virtue mixed with masculine qualities. Looking for a so-called "bad boy" or a "soy boy" is a sign of a character defect in the woman.

Calvinism has a fatalist quality to it, but people often conflate it with the brand of materialist determinism we see today with folks like Sam Harris. Calvinists themselves are to partly blame for this confusion. In Calvinist theology, God determines who is and isn't saved, but the extent to...

Yes, God lets people say all manner of foolishness.

Popes say a lot of things.

I'm prepared to move back to Appalachia if it happens.

I'm a bit more glum than I used to be. Not so much because of the Steal itself as our reaction to it. I really wish the Tea Party made more gains in the early 2010's and got the same level of control in 2012 that it did in 2016. It would have kept the American Right more coalesced and...

I'm in complete agreement, but we Americans have a history of surprising people including ourselves. Maybe God will grant us another chance and give us the character necessary to see it through.

We need to replace our elite with a different elite. The successful elected officials, producers of physical goods, and specialized professionals (as opposed to the bureaucratic valet class) need to rise again in order to replicate the conditions under which republican governments flourish.

They were role models for every 20th-century monster in one way or another.
