#1. "The fundamental assumptions of Western Civilization are valid." Jordan Peterson begins a lecture he gave last June: "12 principles for a 21st century conservatism" With the caveat: "I am not making the claim that the statement is perfect, comprehensive, or final." Good. Below I've transcribed an excerpt from his first principle above. Please don't skip over it to the part about borders because pretty much everything he says here is my critique of his fourth principle. Which is: #4.

Abdication (noun): a failure to fulfill a responsibility or duty. How the World Was Won One of the most consequential, yet overlooked achievements of the past 100 years was the successful implementation of the Marshall Plan in the wake of World War II. Not only did the Marshall Plan facilitate the rehabilitation of Western European states like France and Germany, who were ravaged by years of total war, but it also stumped Communist expansion from the Soviet Union. After the Second World War

To better understand how presidential debates really work, it might help to frame the operation in business terms. As competitors begin positioning themselves for the 2020 presidential race, they may need to adapt to a change in the procedures. The path to the all-important televised presidential debates may be forcibly smoothed out by a US District Court Judge so that candidates outside one of the nation's two large franchise parties have better access to the microphone.

Now is a pivotal moment for the millions of Americans who recognize that there is something terribly wrong with our government. That is why a coalition of over 80 civic action groups, called the Bridge Alliance, is kicking off its educational campaign #HealthyGov. It's no secret that Americans want change. A plurality of Americans no longer wish to identify with the establishment parties in the US. Even more Americans think a third party is needed. Congressional approval barely escapes the sing

How can a party unite the independent majority and defeat the Republicans and the Democrats? For decades, American voters have pretty much known about the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. As a matter of fact, those parties are believed by many to be the only ones. During the last several years, tens of millions of people disillusioned with these establishment parties have felt like they are not represented. They feel as if they have no voice at all, and they have turned away from vot

As the momentum grows for a third-party and a political system overhaul, Americans are increasingly frustrated, disenfranchised, and fed-up with "politics as usual." Time and again we have seen our elected officials kick the can down the road to the next generation in favor of doing "just enough" to keep their jobs while doing far too little to make our communities stronger. The truth is, independents hold the power; we just need to use it. Each state is different so these examples are only ex

The line is a very strange thing, and you're probably familiar with it even if you don't really care for political discussions. It goes from left to right, and the further to the left you are the more "leftist" you are, and the further to the right you are the more "right-wing" you are, and if you're in the center, then you're somewhere between these two poles. But what do they really represent? It's a uni-dimensional analysis so it couldn't possibly represent anything very complex, right? Ye
