thoughts in and out of season
Dear Mr. Kalb,
Toppling. What a polite, modern British word. No, my plans include the nuclear annihilation of Iran. Medieval European and Asian and Moslem countries engaged in this behavior for many centuries.
We are not engaged in toppling but in a desperate life or death fight, assuming one has a religion and ideals. If … More ...
Dear Mr. Kalb and Fellow Readers,
Marvelous information from View From the Right:
“During an interview with Cybercast News Service at the Aug. 7 march, Belafonte asserted that Adolf Hitler’s regime in Germany included Jews and that African Americans working in the Bush administration should be compared to Jews working for Hitler.†http://www.gopusa.com/news/2005/august/0812_belafonte1.shtml

Dear Mr. Kalb and Fellow Readers,
Feminism is partly to blame for Miss Holloway’s tragic end. Feminism says men and women are equal and equality trumps everything; therefore, it is illogical and unfair to propose women should behave different from men.
Proposing that women need to avoid being alone with men the women do not … More ...
A number of good postings over at VFR, on the subject of India and Islam: [url=http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/003478.html]here[/url], [url=http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/003845.html]here[/url], [url=http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/003861.html]here[/url], [url=http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/003862.html]here[/url], and [url=http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/003872.html]here[/url].

Dear Fellow Readers,
UF seems impressive. But its goal is to brutalize one’s opponent. What is sportsmans-like about it? I am a former award-winning high school wrestler, and I view UF as a stupid “sport†like boxing, a sport the goal of which is to render one’s opponent stupid. Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling are pure … More ...
Here’s my contribution to The Great Purge: The Deformation of the Conservative Movement Paperback , co-edited by Paul Gottfried and Richard Spencer.
The Closing of the Ring
by James Kalb
What “political correctness” means is that there are more and more topics that cannot be discussed in reputable circles, even among those who say they … More ...
Why do some people say that America is the First Universal Nation when the Muslim Umma is already the first Universal Nation? To me it seems like a bad idea to imitate the Muslims.… More ...

… More ...An Immorality (Ezra Pound)
Sing we for love and idleness,
Naught else is worth the having.
Though I have been in many a land,
There is naught else in living.
And I would rather have my
