The Philosopher has no dog in the race of Zimbabwean politics. (You can all breathe a sigh of relief now.) Therefore, agreeing with President Robert Mugabe on a religious point need not be taken as an endorsement of a man … Continue reading
In light of the first couple of paragraphs of my recent Ad Rem, this piece by Rod Dreher piqued my interest. Without the slightest overstatement, Dreher exposes the agenda behind “anti-bullying” measures. It’s really a way to indoctrinate children into … Continue reading
