I would hazard a guess that when Mark Steyn wrote America Alone, he did not anticipate that his argument would be substantiated so rapidly, so close to home, and on his very person. His subjugation to the wrath of the Canadian Human Rights Commission is a brutal reminder that the pincers are indeed closing in [...]
Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:12:20 +0000 - The Giants and the Dwarfs
Once again, a great American sport has finished its season. An impressive game was played last Sunday at the Super Bowl in Phoenix. The underdog team from New York deserved their hard-fought victory, and they certainly lived up to their name, the Giants. It was an inspiring display of tenacity and courage. The names Tyree, [...]

This is the third installment in a continuing series. Here is what life will be like in the year 2020 if our civilization continues to go AWOL: First, Second, and Fourteenth Amendments declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court Oxford uses major endowment to create chair in post-modern deconstructionist expressive-emotive gender-neutral therapy Polar bears let loose in elementary schools [...]

The damage caused to Western society by the feminist plague has been so widespread that it is difficult to know where to begin. Do we examine the impact on academia, the campaign to feminize men and boys, the deterioration of the family, the “sexual harassment” witch hunts, the vulgarization of female speech and behavior, the [...]

One of the most glaring characteristics of the U.S. presidential campaign is the fact that the Democratic Party, in its totality, has succumbed to the diseases of political correctness, Multiculturalism, and Diversity. Not only do the two main contending candidates talk the language of Diversity, they are Diversity—they embody it in their own person. Hillary [...]

The other day I was driving past the headquarters of the “Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice.” Here is what the front door looks like, adorned with stickers and announcements from the usual hodgepodge of “progressive” causes: Later, I conducted a Google search, which revealed that such Centers are to be found all around the country.

Have you noticed in recent years that in the Western democracies, power gradually has been slipping away from the elected legislatures—the constitutional repositories of national sovereignty—toward shadowy, amorphous decision makers at home and abroad? Examples abound: The UN “climate change” convention meets in Bali to set guidelines for our future lifestyles; the European Union uses [...]

About a week or so ago I imagined that I got a call from star movie producer Michael Moore. He had browsed the posts on AWOL Civilization, reading them with great interest. “Gary,” said Michael in a friendly tone, “I’m very impressed with your work.” “Why thank you,” I replied, still reeling with shock that this conversation [...]

Someone recently asked me a very interesting question: Why do you have a picture of Van Gogh on the banner of your website? Wasn’t he a key player in one of the most groundbreaking rebellions against the great traditions of the West? Didn’t the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists light the fuse that eventually blew art to [...]

There is a time for being theoretical and enigmatic, and there is a time for straight, plain talk. In the latter category, there are two individuals who definitely fit the bill: Evan Sayet and the late David Stove. Lately I have enjoyed the ideas of Sayet and Stove, so different in their backgrounds, yet so similar [...]
