Andrew Yang, On His Solutions-Oriented, Depoliticised Moral Vision

Last updated on: August 27, 2019 at 6:36 am By Guest Contributor

This is a guest post from journalist Andrew Schwartz, who spoke with Andrew Yang in October 2018, shortly after Yang declared his improbable candidacy for the presidency as a Democrat. This article originally appeared in the online journal of popular culture, Mangoprism. Last fall, I interviewed the presidential candidate Andrew Yang for half an hour before he held a rally in Chicago. His candidacy was relatively unknown at the time, so he was (and I believe still is) taking all... Read more

American Jeremiad / Random Desecrations at the Altar of Impurity (3)

Last updated on: August 20, 2019 at 6:01 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

The Max Boot Chronicles (Continued) This post continues my account of the internecine dust-up between post-conservative military historian and Washington Post columnist, Max Boot, and his former colleagues and allies at stalward Catholic conservative magazine, The National Review (think Raylan Givens/Boyd Crowder in Justified). For purposes of continuity, I include below the final paragraph of the previous post. Sixth, but matters really get jiggity when Charles Cooke, National Review editor Rich Lowry, and various fellow travelers such as Ricochet editor and Jewish... Read more

American Jeremiad / Random Desecrations at the Altar of Impurity (2)

Last updated on: August 20, 2019 at 6:00 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

The Max Boot Chronicles When I was taking a second spin through Berkeley in the early 1990s, Max Boot was an undergraduate writing pissant columns for The Daily Cal student newspaper. Max Boot stood out – to everyone. He was really smart. He was really conservative. And he had a fantastically authoritarian name. I disagreed with nearly everything he wrote, but loved reading it all. There was no doubt in my mind he would make his mark in the world.... Read more

The Masturbation Chronicles

Last updated on: September 16, 2019 at 1:17 pm By Peter Hammond Schwartz

I just read the Patheos post by Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong, entitled Masturbation: Thoughts on Why it is as Wrong as it Ever Was. Which I initially thought might be a joke. But it is not. At the end of Armstrong’s essay, you’ll see a long list of citations for other articles on the sin of self-pleasuring, which encompasses both the prohibitions on masturbation and on contraception. The canonical statement on the origins of these prohibitions is of course, Genesis 38:9-10, wherein... Read more

The Liquid Dream of Governor Moonbeam

Last updated on: August 14, 2019 at 11:27 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

Drycephalus Water is poetry. Loose-limbed and supple. Deserts are prose. Hard, inflected, and jagged. Water is the condition of civilization. Limpid sheath of collective self-awareness. Hymn to synchronicity. Deserts are the absence of water. Pure heat. Pitiless heat. Reduction to cause and effect, reflex and reaction, metabolism and instinct. Water is spring, rebirth and renewal. Heralded by mountain snow melt, unfathomable quantities of stored fresh water annually released to fill streams, estuaries, lakes, and reservoirs. Stored water pleating the soil. Replenishing itself.... Read more

Robby George’s Primer on Natural Law

Last updated on: August 20, 2019 at 6:02 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

In 2007, Professor Robert George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, delivered the John Dewey Lecture in Philosophy at Harvard Law School. George himself received his legal education at Harvard, and was there introduced to ideas about the relationship between law and morality, the study of which, as he happily tells us, became his life’s vocation. George’s 2007 lecture, entitled “Natural Law” (and subsequently published in the Harvard Journal... Read more

Aaron’s Rod: The Righteous Religious Rage of Robert P. George

Last updated on: September 10, 2019 at 5:39 am By Peter Hammond Schwartz

In October 2015, Bloomberg further burnished Robby George’s reputation as the wise man of the Republican Party with an article headlined “Half the Republican Field Seeks Advice From This Princeton Professor.” During the earliest stages of the 2016 presidential campaign, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, and Rick Santorum sought Robby George’s advice on how to think about and talk about wedge social issues such as religious liberty, same-sex marriage, and abortion rights (and wrongs), and other “key constitutional values.”...
