Moderation is Half-Assed

If you call yourself a moderate, you can mean one of two things. You could have a strong opinion on a host of issues in a way that doesn’t combine to fit a common group, such as being pro-war and pro-whore, which is commendable.

The progressive movement sprouted from the idea that the world would really get somewhere if only everybody let their lives be run by progressives. As if a hundred years aren’t enough, each of the last two years has ended with a major international headline that has reinforced the same lesson from opposite ends. (Read more...)

The sad fact facing us is that everybody’s anti-sex. The Left is anti-sex, what with feminism and all. The Right is anti-sex, what with abstinence and all. The seafood industry is anti-sex, as research shows that people who get crabs in bed are less likely to order them in restaurants. (Read more...)

[Editor's Note: As a special treat for SOLOists, I'm reproducing here the much-acclaimed interview with Nathaniel Branden published in Issue 64 of 'The Free Radical.' I don't usually publish material from the hard-copy version so soon after it has come out, and I would not want to encourage folk to think I'm going to make a habit of this or that they should not subscribe to 'The Free Radical' in hard-copy. A website print-out is no substitute for the beauty of the original. And most of the hard-copy content is never posted on-line *at all*. I'm making an exception in this case because I know there's a great desire on the part of many SOLOists to "chew" many of the points made by Nathaniel in this interview (so ably conducted by Alec Mouhibian, who more than lived up to my trust in him to deliver a scintillating result). Posting the interview here on SOLOHQ, of course, does enable it to be "chewed." I'm spreading it out over four nights. Tonight: Part Two  ...
