Rich Lowry Trying to Sell a Book

A review by Bradford Littlejohn: Can Nationalism Unite Us?

But what exactly does Lowry mean by “nationalism”? Lowry approvingly quotes Anthony Smith, who defines nationalism as “a belief that all those who shared a common history and culture should be autonomous, united, and distinct in their recognized homelands.” We can break this down into two distinct propositions, both once widely held but now sharply contested.

A relic of 20th ce Yankee civic nationalism.

Neo-Yankee Statists First

The Eight Stages of the Rise and Fall of Civilizations by Msgr. Charles Pope

Sadly, the piece by Msgr. Pope is reflective of the American Catholic intellectual class - little awareness of the role of the state (in conjunction with the oligarchs they may actually recognize) in the centralization of power and the destruction of community and tradition, and a failure to name the radical ideologies and movements, like liberalism and feminism, that have been used to supplant tradition. No prominent Catholic is going to name feminism as a problem that needs to be solved, and as a factor in the decline of the United States.

Msgr. Pope should read Sir John Glubb.

States' Rights

States’ Rights by Philip Leigh

Most modern historians reject any suggestion that the South fought the Civil War over states’ rights. They insist that the only states’ rights the South cared about, “as neo-confederates are loath to admit,” was slavery.… »

The Barbarians at the Gates by Gene Kizer, Jr.

Since the 1960s, the interpretation of Southern history and the War Between the States put forth by most of the news media and academia is largely a fraud. It is driven by the racist identity… »


This is why the Founding Generation Crafted the 2nd Amendment by Lewis Liberman

With the current heated debate over gun rights and the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution (which serves to affirm our natural rights…rights we have whether the State recognizes them or not), I thought… »

Neo-Yankees and Yankees

The Elite vs. The Deplorables by Gail Jarvis

For most of our nation’s two and a half century history, newspapers were the essential source of public opinion. Although newspapers expressed political preferences, regional newspapers did provide other sides of stories, as well as… »


“White Privilege” or “Yankee Privilege?” by James Ronald Kennedy

White privilege has become a major leftwing talking point and justification for a plethora of progressive initiatives that can best be described as reverse racial discrimination. White privilege is the mirror image of white supremacy. … »

Waiting for a Thanksgiving Post

Lee, Kelly, and the Marxists by Boyd Cathey

You would think that David Duke had somehow been elected president. Or, maybe in this topsy-turvy, Alice-in-Wonderland period of history we are living through, that that reactionary “bad guy” Vladimir Putin had somehow actually taken… »

The Extreme Northern Position by Brion McClanahan

If you listen to the modern historical profession, Southern secession in 1861 represented “treason.” David Blight, Professor History at Yale University, has made this belief the part of the core of his attack on Confederate… »
