“Christian nationalism” has gotten a lot of attention over the past two years. It’s one of those things we’re told is a serious problem in our country. Christian nationalists are accused of a whole lot of bad things, from racism to threatening democracy. Books and articles are regularly published to document this menace and warn Americans of these dangerous extremists.

“Christian nationalism” effectively replaced “Alt Right” as the scary label for the Right. It is funny how that came to be, since many of these same people bemoaned the “post-Christian” Right brought forth by Donald Trump. (more…)

A sight you’d likely see more of if conservatives have their way with their proposed pro-natalist policies.

A common liberal argument against the pro-life movement is that it’s not truly pro-life. In the liberal imagination, “pro-life” means being for more government assistance and universal healthcare. Liberals claim conservatives want to punish single moms by forcing them to have children without any resources to raise them. A true pro-life society would ensure these women got all the help they allegedly need. (more…)

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will soon end Roe v. Wade, the famous 1973 case that made abortion legal throughout the United States. The new decision, revealed in an unprecedented leak from the high court this week, would not ban abortion; it would simply revoke the precedent that prevented states from banning the procedure. Abortion will still be legal for most Americans after the SCOTUS ruling. There’s even a chance the ruling won’t lead to any bans at all. (more…)

It seems that every ten years a “New Right” emerges in America. The National Review was seen as the “New Right” in the 1950s. There was a “New Right” in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan’s ascent. There have been many New Rights in Europe as well. (more…)

Nearly two years ago, your humble writer noted that Woodrow Wilson is one of the most hated presidents of all time. Older readers may recall a time when liberals loved the 28th President. They saw him as a progressive visionary who spread democratic values across the globe and made America better. Now, they just see him as another white supremacist who should be denied all public honors. (more…)

The Super Bowl always serves as a good barometer for American culture. It’s where ads seek to introduce upcoming blockbusters and “social progress.” Corporations made sure to start showing off gay couples in Super Bowl advertising in the mid-2010s. (more…)

Woodrow Wilson ještě ne tak dávno patřil k neochvějným hrdinům panteonu moderního progresivismu. Obamovští liberálové si 28. prezidenta Spojených států cenili pro jeho morální idealismus, velkorysý přístup k ústavním pravidlům i jeho víru v prospěšnost „velké vlády“. (more…)

The Freedom Convoy shows no signs of capitulation. The grassroots populist revolt against Canada’s oppressive COVID rules continues to gain support and draw concessions from government officials. (more…)

Sam T. Francis by Phil Eiger Newmann, 2021

The late Sam Francis may finally get his due. Several mainstream conservative writers now interact with the paleoconservative’s work and admit his influence. Ever since Donald Trump first captured the public’s imagination in 2015, political observers have looked to Francis to explain the populist moment.

It could be said that Francis has now been rehabilitated in respectable discourse, but this has come at a cost. Those who positively cite Francis eschew or outright condemn his racial views. (more…)

President Joe Biden seems powerless to do anything about . . . well, anything at the moment. He promised to change election laws to “save democracy” (read: give his party permanent political power), and he can’t do it. He vowed to fix immigration, but the problem only grows worse. He pledged to make America’s geopolitical opponents respect us, but they are doing the opposite. He said he would end COVID, but everyone is still in masks and hysteria continues to reign. (more…)

Asking “Is America a More ‘Christian Nation’ than Ever Before?” generated a lot of responses on Counter-Currents. My article looked into the argument that a post-Christian America continues to display strongly Christian characteristics, as even some evangelicals now claim. (more…)

Unsurprisingly, religious behavior has also declined. (more…)
