Flight 93: “It’s up to us now. I think we can do it.”

The New Neo Posted on September 11, 2020 by neoSeptember 11, 2020

You all know the story. But this will rip your heart out anyway. It’s half documentary – with interviews with the families of some of the passengers – and half re-enactment. Remember.

Reflections on wearing 18th Century clothing

The New Neo Posted on September 7, 2020 by neoSeptember 7, 2020

Suprisingly interesting – at least to me, and to the person speaking as well. This young woman wore 18th Century clothing for five years, and she talks about the experience. The talking part starts at 2:08. The small tattoo on … Continue reading →

Undoing the leftist deed

The New Neo Posted on September 2, 2020 by neoSeptember 2, 2020

Gerard Vanderleun reminds us of how relevant Milan Kundera remains. Here’s the quote from my favorite work of Kundera’s, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting: At a time when history still made its way slowly, the few events were easily … Continue reading →

The challenge of Marxism: Part II

The New Neo Posted on August 20, 2020 by neoAugust 20, 2020

[Part I can be found here. A Part III is also planned.] Yoram Hazony, author of this Quillette essay on “The Challenge of Marxism,” has a great deal to say about liberalism. He writes [emphasis mine]: Enlightenment liberalism is a … Continue reading →

Did you know…

The New Neo Posted on August 11, 2020 by neoAugust 11, 2020

…that if Trump gives a speech at Gettysburg that would be a “shoring up” of the confederacy? The MSM knows nothing of history. But that’s okay, because neither does its audience. There’s always that “knaves/fools” question, though. Perhaps the MSM … Continue reading →

Today is the 75th anniversary of the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima

The New Neo Posted on August 6, 2020 by neoAugust 6, 2020

[NOTE: The following is a slightly changed version of a post of mine. If you follow the links in the second paragraph, you’ll find three other pieces I’ve written about the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima.] Once again … Continue reading →

Let’s do another re-write of history, and let’s establish a quota system in the MSM

The New Neo Posted on August 3, 2020 by neoAugust 3, 2020

Let’s keep changing history until we get it right – I mean left – enough: From Rep. Ford’s press release: “Rep. Ford Today in Evanston to Call for the Abolishment of History Classes in Illinois Schools “Concerned that current school … Continue reading →

On humans, naked and clothed

The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2020 by neoAugust 1, 2020

The other day a commenter wrote, in a thread about buying clothes: As a hardcore nudist I probably find this more interesting/amusing than most. I’m also retired, so I no longer feel any need to try to impress anyone with … Continue reading →

The people lack virtue

The New Neo Posted on July 28, 2020 by neoJuly 28, 2020

People have lost their way, and the press fills their heads with propaganda. You could say it’s a vast conspiracy. And certainly the left is organized, and the internet helps spread the word. But it wouldn’t matter so much if … Continue reading →

How the left won the culture war and what to do about it

The New Neo Posted on July 28, 2020 by neoJuly 28, 2020

This is a British discussion. But the phenomenon is mostly the same in this country. And by the way, although they say there was no “great conspiracy,” I beg to differ on that:

Dershowitz: on being ostracized because of politics

The New Neo Posted on July 23, 2020 by neoJuly 23, 2020

[Hat tip: commenter “Barry Meislin.”] This new piece by Alan Dershowitz is interesting to me for many reasons, not the least because he demonstrates his usual sense and yet continues to find it difficult to surrender his allegiance to the … Continue reading →

We get too soon old and too late smart

The New Neo Posted on July 17, 2020 by neoJuly 17, 2020

It occurs to me, not for the first time, that the older a person is the more historical context that person has for any event. Except for the rare youthful history buff, most young people have little background knowledge to … Continue reading →
