We should have the courage to put them in their place the franchise should be restricted to male property owners.

Most are illogical, emotional, herd creatures who prefer security to freedom.

This diatribe has a marxist overtone to it in that the author considers it a sin to participate in American popular culture or any aspect of life which is non-political. While the things the author gripes about are right wing boilerplate such as Mexicans, gays, feminists, etc his view of capitalist society would be shared by either the far left or the Islamic fundamentalists. If Archie Bunker became a communist or alternatively, joined the Taliban, he might say something like this.

Politics is not a god to be worshipped above all other things and participation in politics should be an informed choice, not a knee jerk reaction. Drinking beer, watching sports, going to the movies, going to work or school, and using a computer are not materialistic crimes but the normal daily existence of most men and women. Reason magazine, a few months ago had a cover story with an arab drinking Pepsi arguing that western popular culture liberates Islam and the World.

Good reply.

PC is a cancer on this nation that has turned a Godly nation into a moral sewer.

Thanks NAACP & ACLU!

[BikerNYC]

Oh, that was his doing, was it?

[weikel]

Well him and his progressive pals( plz tell me your not one of the guys who blames Lincoln even though the free market lasted 50 years after him).

YaddaYaddaYadda...

Same ol' "Know Nothing" cr*p. They can't even come up with any new arguments, they just keep rehashing the same ol' "this country as we know it will cease to exist within ten years..." cr*p they've been using since the 1820s.

*YAWN*

[Vigilantcitizen]

"Good reply."

I second that.

In Praise of Vulgarity. How commercial culture liberates Islam and the West

[PeterPrinciple]

Because America has lost it's manhood.

Not sure I can argue with this. So what do we do to regain it??????????

"Women in this country spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on 'romance books' whose pages are filled with knights in shining armor and genuine heroes coming to rescue the damsel in distress. Why do you suppose that is?"

Because most aren't good at computer games.

This can be treated as a serious question. If so, one is lead to the Ancients, who wrote most penetratingly on politics. (Machiavelli was a student of the Greeks and Romans, and found answers that satisfied him on the nature of manly virtue, good government, and stable freedom.)

In a nutshell, as another student of the Ancients, Thomas Jefferson, put it, freedom and good government cannot survive the transition from the public being made up of small farmers working their own land to being employees of others and living in cities, as we almost all do today. Jefferson was sure that cities were sinks of decay and depravity, filled with people who had lost their independence.

Asking modern Americans to act like men is as hopeless as asking the same thing of a dog.

Since 1913?

The 16th Amendment (Income Tax) was ratified in 1913.

[r9etb]

The fact that it's written in 16-point(?) letters does not hide the fact that this is a long, rather dull, straw-man argument.

[tpaine]

- 1913 -

- Actually, - the political era ushered in at the turn of the last century was essentially the end of our free republic.
-- I've never seen a good explanation of just why it happened. As the article says, all the 'good men' seemed to just give up.

Men are no longer the head of the American household. That's why Al Qaeda gets so upset when we export our culture to their neighborhood. Arab men ARE the head of their households and don't take any sh*t off their womenfolk. Otherwise heads roll.

BUMP

[Darksheare]

Where have all the men gone?

Accused of sexual harrassment for holding a door open for a woman so that she doesn't have to open it herself.

[PsyOp]

And receive neither.

Another nativist cultural warrior loon hits the public square via the internet. This particular fauna sounds a bit like Pat Buchanan on steroids. That is a pretty lethal combination.
