The Promise and Peril of Freedom Conservatism – James M. Patterson
In a 1796 letter to a friend, French naval officer Charles Louis Etienne said of the exiled Bourbons, “They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” For Freedom Conservatives, the phrase—often attributed to Talleyrand—should give pause. For the Bourbons, the French Revolution seemed like an unjust interruption of their rightful place atop the French throne, one which they would eventually end and resume their rule.
We Can't Turn Back the Clock – David P. Goldman
What does the Freedom Conservativism manifesto tell us about our recent past and proximate future? The bon mot about the Bourbons, often attributed to Talleyrand, comes to mind: They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. This anodyne document could have been written a generation ago; as the authors note, it was written a generation ago, in the 1960 Sharon statement. Less than artfully, it avoids the critical question of our time: Why is conservatism out of power and in disarray?
Freedom Conservatism: A Friendly Critique – John G. Grove
It’s no secret that conservatives have always loved to debate what conservatism means. And the debate has been particularly divisive of late. Now, there are two battle lines drawn up in the form of dueling manifestos from National Conservatives and, more recently, Freedom Conservatives. There are at least two ways one can think of conservatism: as a general manner of understanding or engaging in political life, or as a practical political program or movement. Both tend to be highly contentious.
The Case for Zombie Reaganites – Rachel Lu
I’ve been waiting a long time for the Zombie-Reaganite apocalypse. I’m willing to donate my brain to the cause. Though I personally prefer plants, it seems clear that a horde of walking dead can sometimes be the best fix for a dysfunctional political party. Happily, a window to this option opened this summer with the release of the Freedom Conservatism Statement of Principles.
Camus and the Crisis of the West – Graham McAleer
When a winner of the Nobel Prize for literature writes about the history of political ideas, you get Albert Camus’s The Rebel. Published in 1954, Camus’s beautifully written book—which is not to say it is light reading—is one-stop shopping for those who want a history of modernity and the crisis of the West. Today, we hear a lot about the fascism ostensibly stalking America. Writing less than a decade after the end of World War II, Camus observed that Hitlerism grew amidst despair.
The Fall of the House of Reading – - Timothy Sutton
At a time when the English major obituary is fast becoming its own sub-genre, the ever-nuanced and clear-eyed John Guillory has published Professing Criticism: Essays on the Organization of Literary Study, an exhaustive and careful history of the institutional study of literature that contextualizes its roots from ancient Greece to the modern American multiversity.
New Training: Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia—What Every Department Needs to Know - Police Chief Magazine
As society changes, law enforcement agencies must be prepared to evolve and adapt to new challenges in order to better serve their communities. There are over 5 million people in the United States with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. These numbers are expected to double, maybe even triple, in the next 20 years. Professionally, it affects law enforcement and the community on a daily basis.
