Writing in Quillete, Stephen Martin Fritz and Denise Morel reflect on the underlying moral differences between liberal and conservative ideologies, shedding light on their historically established polarity and trying to predict the attitudes of future generations. How will our children judge us?
Naomi Wolf, writing for the Brownstone Institute, hopes recently-fired Fox News Tonight host Tucker Carlson reappears more assertively on the national and global stage. Why? Because Carlson “queries current madness from the same old-fashioned, deeply American premises” that shaped many Americans of that generation – including the decidedly left-wing Wolf.
In The American Spectator, Jeff Clark questions a modern notion that the U.S. Department of Justice is an autonomous organ of government independent of the Executive Branch, i.e., the President. If the DOJ were to become so, Clark writes, the American republic would not survive beyond a few more presidential cycles.
Michael Brendan Dougherty in National Review offers a historical view of populist eruptions which, he writes, signal a disconnect between governing institutions and the people. While conservatives and populists aren’t natural partners, Dougherty argues that we are living through unique times in which the elites are set against conservatives as well as the people at large.
In First Things, Esmé Partridge parses soon-to-be-crowned King Charles III’s philosophy. Some British conservatives view his praise of other religions as promoting multiculturalism if not actually betraying the British monarch’s duty as Defender of the Faith. Partridge, however, sees it as extending a rich philosophical tradition rooted in Christian ecumenism.
