Commentary: Donald Kirk - Conservatism standing at the crossroads Donald Kirk FacebookTwitterEmail American conservatives face irrelevancy and division in their ranks. Traditional conservatism, the credo of “rock-ribbed” Republicans, has faded. Americans forget the post-war conservative presidents such as Dwight Eisenhower, the World War II general, and Ronald Reagan, who demanded Mikhail Gorbachev “tear down this wall” between East and West Berlin. Instead, far-rightists, evangelical Christians and extremist rabble-rousers are driving the Republican agenda, forcing unanimity against ...

Commentary: Nika Kabiri - Conspiracy theories require sociological solutions Nika Kabiri FacebookTwitterEmail It’s not every day that Americans are charged with sedition, but it may just happen as more evidence emerges regarding the Capitol riots. It’s as though we’ve exited the age of the conspiracy “buff” and entered a new era.

Go to the mirror and look at yourself. Except for the odd Zoom meeting you might have tried to dress for, you are a different person. The fact is that even a traditionalist like me, who has worn a jacket and tie since his first days of school, is, well, letting down. Worse, after a year of sweats and other baggy, comfortable clothing, I feel constricted and ill at ease when I put on a suit – which is mainly when I record tele...

Two views: Harriet Tubman $20 bills | Christian F. Nunes - Go ahead, show us the Tubmans Christian F. Nunes FacebookTwitterEmail Harriet Tubman was a conductor on the Underground Railroad, with a record of never losing a single passenger on the road to freedom from slavery. She aided the Civil War effort as a Union spy, scout, cook and battlefield nurse, and in 1863 she led an armed raid that freed 700 slaves in South Carolina — making her the first woman ever to lead a U.S. military expedition. In contrast, Andrew Jackson owned 95 enslaved people before he became president, and brought 14 ...
