Breath of the Beast: Why Good People Believe Bad Things

Breath of the Beast: Why Good People Believe Bad Things:
"The media’s job is not to find the mid-point of competing political agendas, but to report the news regardless of how that plays out for or against any particular group’s interests."

The sort of fairness that we find routinely in the media is, at best a morally blind position based on reporting both sides equally credibly and credulously.

OMNIA MEA MECUM PORTO: "I carry with me all my things."

I am bringing an issue to your attention that has been causing confusion lately. My name is quite common and shared by many people worldwide. While it's always interesting to see how many other Cole Coopers are out there, it can also lead to confusion. The primary issue is that my Gmail address, colecoop@gmail.com, has become a catch-all for people trying to contact other Cole Coopers. When someone with a similar name gives out a slightly different email address, sometimes that email ends up in my inbox instead. This can frustrate me and the person trying to reach their intended recipient. Sadly, this also means I can only sometimes respond to emails as quickly as I'd like. I receive many misaddressed emails, and it can take some time to sort through them all and ensure I'm responding to the right person.

Quote of the day "...the modern left has abandoned liberals who want to reform society to make it more inclusive to everyone. Instead, they want to punish anyone on the "wrong side of history" and destroy the institutions necessary for our shared prosperity as a means of balancing history's scales." by Jon Davis, American Conservative If people haven't been paying attention, modern conservatives, as in the new wave of younger conservatives, make up several distinct but complementary ideological groups. There are right-leaning libertarians, more ancient paleoconservatives, and even classical liberals.

At the same time, other more traditional conservatives are very apt to call ou...

Conrad Black: Canada's resilience is invisible only to Canadians

From his column in The National Post It is news in the United States that there has been no need in this country for bank bailouts, and that Canadian home ownership levels are as high as those in the United States, without recourse to subprime mortgages or legislated non-commercial lending practices of the kind that brought on the crisis there....   But unfortunately, stimulus packages have become de rigeur acts of national prestige, like the construction of great ocean liners between the World Wars. .....   It is unlikely that the coalition fiasco or the pedestrian budget will lead to a premature election or the justification of this return of Liberal self-assurance of inevitable victory that has popped up like a cobra’s head.   Without the great tribal vote of Quebec which sustained the Liberals from the death of Sir John A. Macdonald in 1891 to the rise of Brian Mulroney in 1984, the Liberals are no more likely to win an election than the C...
