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 →

Allan Bloom again, on the genesis of what’s happening now

The New Neo Posted on July 13, 2020 by neoDecember 22, 2023

[NOTE: The following is a revised and updated version of a post I wrote over seven years ago, based on Allan Bloom’s book published in 1987.] I’ve written before about Allan Bloom’s masterful The Closing of the American Mind, published … Continue reading →

Is this a Fourth Turning?

The New Neo Posted on July 13, 2020 by neoJuly 13, 2020

Hmmmm: It was all prophesied in 1997 in Neil Howe and William Strauss’ “The Fourth Turning,” and, depending on who you ask, it was either a breakthrough in “generational theory,” a strange work of pseudo-science, or both. In the book, … Continue reading →

!968 vs. today

The New Neo Posted on July 11, 2020 by neoJuly 11, 2020

As Kathy Shaidle writes in her discussion of the life of Valerie Solanas, the woman who wrote an anti-male manifesto and then came very close to murdering Andy Warhol in that annus horribilis 1968: Yesterday’s mental illness is today’s social … Continue reading →

Trump gives America a history lesson at Mount Rushmore

The New Neo Posted on July 4, 2020 by neoJuly 5, 2020

Even though political speeches are not my thing, I watched Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore last night (you can find a video and transcript at American Digest). It was a well-crafted story of America’s past and a pledge about America’s … Continue reading →

A modest proposal for renaming schools whose present names are now considered politically/racially incorrect

The New Neo Posted on July 3, 2020 by neoJuly 3, 2020

Give them numbers. That way the names will never have to be changed as the historical revisionists expand their targets – at least, I doubt that numbers will ever be their targets, although I wouldn’t put it past them. When … Continue reading →

To make men free

The New Neo Posted on June 27, 2020 by neoJune 27, 2020

The NY Times and the left (but I repeat myself) would have you believe that America’s founding principle of the most basic kind was slavery, and that all along slavery and racism have been the driving forces behind the US. … Continue reading →
