Reflections

People out here are VERY active, even in the city. Everywhere today around Portland, from the morning, noon and night, I see people running everywhere. And, I’ve seen a lot of people biking. Granted, Portland State University is here in the city (an urban campus), but I’ve seen people running across the city, even in […]

Yesterday, I took the day-long journey to get to Oregon. As long as it seemed (a 2-hour flight to Chicago from Philly, a 90-minute layover, and a 4-hour flight from Chicago to Portland), it is amazing how times have changed. A century and a half ago, our ancestors took many months to go from the […]

On September 21 (Wednesday night), I was invited to be a “guest speaker” at a meeting of the College Republicans at Villanova University, a Catholic institution in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I was told ahead of time about how many students I should expect, but I really didn’t believe it. When the meeting began, there […]

In the early 1950s, William F. Buckely, Jr. (ISI’s first president), wrote God and Man at Yale to explore what he saw happening at Yale – a deterioration of the curriculum and the erosion of Western heritage, particularly the Christian traditions that Yale was founded on.

I spent Thursday and Friday in New Haven, Connecticut, at the wonderful school that is Yale University, composed of its many colleges and multiple groups of conservative students. It is also the alma mater of William F. Buckley, Jr., who was ISI’s first president in 1953 and is the author of many books and hundreds […]

I just came from a meeting with the Columbia College Conservatives Club… or the “C4” as they’re known. I finally got to meet the young protege Chris Kulawik, who is leading the march for the campus conservative movement at Columbia. It’s an uphill battle all the way… but I met with representatives from the Conservatives […]

The following three links are from “The Point,” a one-minute daily commentary that is intended to stimulate public discourse syndicated to TV Stations across the nation through Sinclair Broadcasting. they visited ISI back in late July and interviewed various staff. They did three commentaries involving ISI (you should be able to watch these broadcasts and […]

Today is the fourth anniversary of the horrific attacks on U.S. soil that happened four years ago. It changed everything. Yet, four years later some people are “remembering” the victims, but forgetting about the culprits and the radical Islamic ideology that led them to their acts. Today, I’m remembering the victims – they’ll be in […]

On a Red Cross telethon to raise money, some entertainers got together to raise money for the relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina. Hip-hip “artist” Kanye West couldn’t help himself though. He said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” No joke. Check out the look on actor Mike Myers’ face! Myers was standing right next […]
