Change of design
I have to change themes. Will make it a less generic one soon, but the previous theme kept having security holes, and I can’t waste anymore time working on that.

Neocon is like liberal?
Look at the reader survey I notice not too many neoconservatives. Not that surprising. But I had an offhand thought: neoconservatism as a label has become somewhat like liberal, something no one wants to admit to, but a movement which … Continue reading
Secular Right reader survey
A reader asked about a survey for this weblog. If you are a regular reader, please consider taking this survey. I’ll post the csv on the 6th of March (survey closes on the 5th). There are 30 questions, none of … Continue reading
Gays & gun control
By now you’ve probably seen the Ryan Sorba video from CPAC: Right now opposition to gay marriage is a winning issue for conservatives. But how much longer? I wonder if we’re going to see a shift where conservatives are going … Continue reading
Ron Paul wins CPAC straw poll
Boos as Ron Paul wins CPAC straw poll. Paul 31%, Romney 22%, Palin 7% and Pawlenty 6%. Obviously straw polls don’t matter. The only reason this is news is because the enthusiasm of Ron Paul supporters carried the day again … Continue reading

Passed on Without Comment
Via The Corner, the latest from Creationist Tim Pawlenty: Pawlenty also made a strong pitch for the support of the religious right. “God is in charge,” he said, criticizing the “naysayers who try to crowd out God.” If God is … Continue reading
Building A Better Nation The Labour Way
While we are on the subject of national population development, this new Janet Daley piece from the London Sunday Telegraph makes some interesting claims. Here’s a key passage. So now we know what Labour’s immigration policy was really about. The … Continue reading
No Need for Natalism
John, your great-grandmother was a statistical outlier. By 1870 the average British woman was having around 5.5 children. Britain did see a dramatic increase in population in the 19th century, but this was a consequence of technological innovation, improved agricultural … Continue reading
