I’ve just posted this in the comments of the item below, but it’s worth repeating here:
If all a Tanenhaus wants is a Right that is a.) a little abashed about how Iraq turned out, but not really repentant, and b.) in favor of a “pro-family” welfare state, then he already has much of what he [...]

The Tory Anarchist got its start, in its present incarnation at least, about three years ago as an occasional outlet for my work outside of The American Conservative. That was before TAC had any blogs itself. Now that we have several, adding mine to the ensemble seems like a logical move.
What is the Tory Anarchist? [...]

Updates have been slower than ever because I’ve been devoting much of my spare time to helping Young Americans for Liberty with a special project. I’ll reveal more about that soon and, with a bit of luck, start carving out the time to update this site properly again. For now, just remember: patience is a [...]

With a title like Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War, Pat Buchanan’s new book might seem designed to court controversy. But that’s not the case, at least not as far as I have been able to tell from the first 100 pages. For one thing, “Unnecessary War” is not Buchanan’s phrase, it’s Churchill’s. Buchanan was [...]

The season of Kauffmaniana continues, as Bill takes a look at Ron Paul’s book over at Taki’s Magazine. Here’s a taste:
As for the word “isolationist,” which I’ve always thought had a nice pacific ring to it, Rep. Paul gives taxonomic reversal the old college try. He tags the unilateral bullies of the Bush administration “isolationists” [...]

Funnier than Tory Anarchist? Yes. The Nixon Center’s relatively new blog is called The New Nixon, complete with a picture of a smilin’ Tricky Dick in the upper-left corner.
