In “Under the Black Flag” in the April 2015 issue of Chronicles, Taki Theodoracopulos writes, “Perhaps not each of the 1.6 billion Muslims wishes to punish people in the name of their God, but I’ll bet my last dollar that the great majority does. Regarding Muslims in England: “There’s a relentless agenda to secularize Christian […]
Israel: A Harder Sell to Americans
Here in the American Conservative, TAC founding editor Scott McConnell looks at the lunacy of Mark Kirk’s (Republican, Illinois) comment about “a mushroom cloud near Tehran” and John McCain’s equally quack comment about Israel going rogue and attacking Iran. Americans are better served by taking a good look at Aaron Stein’s article in War on […]
American Sniper & Clint Eastwood
Over 25 years ago, David Franke, one of the founders of the conservative movement back in the 1950s and 1960s, was an editor of mine in the investment newsletter business and was responsible for hooking me up with the publisher I still work with to this day. David also was my partner in my late […]
A Prolonged War with Iran?
Daniel Larison in the American Conservative writes: Attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities would be the beginning of a new open-ended military commitment and the start of a prolonged war with Iran whose effects will probably surprise us by being even worse than we imagined beforehand. On top of all that, it is likely that such a […]
Ted Cruz a Non-Starter?
Daniel Larison writing in the American Conservative notes: What we know about Republican nomination politics tells us that Cruz is an extreme long-shot candidate. Republicans almost never nominate an insurgent candidate, and they certainly don’t choose to nominate the one with the least experienced in elected office when they have a large number of alternatives […]
Marine Le Pen Challenging the Globalist Consensus
The American Conservative’s Scott McConnell writes: The FN’s upside potential is truly vast. Marine Le Pen’s National Front is far and away the largest party in a major country to challenge the Washington-dominated, neoliberal, and globalist consensus. It is easily the largest anti-immigration party to emerge in the West, and one, which is clearly striving, […]
Neoconservatives Have Two Core Beliefs
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi writes that the two neoconservative core beliefs are (1) “Their insistence that the United States has the right or even the responsibility to use its military and economic power to reshape the world in terms of its own interests and values.” (2) “Washington must uncritically support Israel no matter what […]
Netanyahu and Likud Retain Israel Leadership
Daniel Larison of The American Conservative writes of Netanyahu’s victory: According to the early exit polls, Netanyahu and Likud have stormed back to win 27 or 28 seats, which puts them at roughly the same number of seats as their main competition in the Zionist Union. There are still more votes yet to be counted […]
War With Iran?
Writing in the American Conservative, Daniel Larison explains the “costly and pointless” option: War is definitely not the “only” option with Iran, and it is by far the most costly and pointless of the available options. Whenever anyone concludes that war is the “only option,” we can safely assume that this was his preference all […]
Unending Wars Create American Enemies
Writing in the American Conservative, my friend Jon Basil Utley writes, “Allied with the Christian Zionists is much of the military industrial complex. It is a key industry in many congressional districts benefiting from unending wars, that create more and more enemies for America.” Utley writes: The Israeli Lobby represents less than half of American […]
