I wish I had something cheerier to start the Memorial Day weekend, but Mark Steyn, as usual, knocks it out of the park with his weekend column. This passivity set the tone for what followed. In London as in Boston, the politico-media class immediately lapsed into the pneumatic multiculti Tourette’s that seems to be a [...]

Like Most of America, Catholics Heading South
Posted by Paul Zummo on May 23rd, 2013
Not even a month after moving down to Atlanta to start college I was asked to attend a wedding in eastern Alabama near the Georgia/Alabama border. As I piled into my friend’s sisters’ car, I explained that I was an Italian Catholic from New York City. “Oh boy,” was the immediate response. So naturally I [...]

Posted by Paul Zummo on May 22nd, 2013
Drew M who blogs at Ace of Spades put together this video compilation. Of course you have to be some kind of paranoid loon to think that the ever-expanding size of our government poses some kind of threat to the liberty of American citizens. I mean it’s not like the government is tapping not only [...]
Devastating Tornado in Oklahoma
Posted by Paul Zummo on May 20th, 2013
This is truly horrifying. Please pray for all those in Moore, Oklahoma. A mile-wide tornado with 200mph winds churned through Oklahoma City’s suburbs Monday afternoon, causing significant property damage for the second day in a row, as part of a severe weather outbreak that was expected to spread in other parts of the Plains and [...]
An Act of Heroism or A Petty Crime?
Posted by Paul Zummo on May 20th, 2013
Last week Kevin Williamson did something I have often dreamed of doing, although to people talking or texting on cell phones while driving and not in a movie theater. The show was Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, which was quite good and which I recommend. The audience, on the other hand, was horrible [...]
Misappropriating Burke
Posted by Paul Zummo on May 2nd, 2013
One of the most tiresome and repeated tricks I see in political discourse is right-leaning moderates using Edmund Burke’s name in justifying big government conservatism. The latest to use Burke’s name to justify political moderation is Peter Berkowitz in his book Constitutional Conservatism: Liberty, Self-Government, and Political Moderation. Here’s a blurb from the book. The first entrenched [...]

Civil War History and Inevitability
Posted by Paul Zummo on April 25th, 2013
I’ve been on a bit of a history kicker lately, particularly Civil War history, even if by chance. On successive occasions I read Tony Horowitz’s Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid that Sparked the Civil War, followed by April 1865: The Month that Saved America by Jay Winik. It was purely coincidental that I [...]

Three murder charges against Kermit Gosnell have been tossed out by the Judge. After hearing impassioned arguments from attorneys on both sides of the Kermit Gosnell capital-murder trial Tuesday, a Philadelphia judge threw out three of the seven first-…
All Your Children Are Belong to Us
Posted by Paul Zummo on April 8th, 2013
Every now and then I’ll see a collective kerfuffle ensue over some piece of media that upon inspection isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be. But this ad appearing on MSNBC is every bit as scary and awful as some commentators have made it out to be. For those of you who don’t [...]
