An Unnatural Disaster: A Hurricane Exposes the Man-Made Disaster of the Welfare State
| September 2, 2005
It has taken four long days for state and federal officials to figure out how to deal with the disaster in New Orleans. I can't blame them, because it has also taken me four long days to figure out what is going on there. The reason is that the events there make no sense if you think that we are confronting a natural disaster.(->)

NRO Revisits an Old Low
| January 5, 2005
The theme of the article, expressed in a pompously over-intellectual style, is anti-intellectualism. Chambers echoes the old subjectivist canard that too much rational certainty is what leads to dictatorship. Never mind that the common element of both of the twentieth century's great totalitarian movements—the racial determinism of the fascists and the "dialectical materialism" of the communists—was a thorough attack on the efficacy of the individual mind. As for the great totalitarian threat today, Osama bin Laden and his followers stand for religious dogmatism of the most primitive sort—the very opposite of a devotion to rationality.

A Rejection of Appeasement: Iraq in the Australian Election
| October 15, 2004
In short, Iraq and the war on terrorism were at the center of both the Australian election campaign and its result. It does not suit the international commentariat--desperate to prop up their preferred candidate in the US election, John Kerry--to admit the nature of what occurred Downunder. The truth is that faced with appeasement, a self-respecting country says, "No way."(->)

The Empire of the Pursuit of Happiness: The right to the pursuit of happiness is an idea that has captured the imagination of the rest of the world.

The frontier of the American Empire is in the mind of every man and every woman in every country, who wants a better life, here, on this earth. The best among them look to our nation as proof that it is possible. America is taking over the countries of the world from the inside, one mind at a time.(->)

How to Be an Anti-Bushite for Bush: Working for a Pro-War Opposition and a Secular Right
| September 10, 2004
Throughout this week, I have urged readers of TIA Daily to be "anti-Bushites for Bush." On Tuesday, I wrote:
"Both parts of the slogan 'anti-Bushites for Bush' imply the need for vigorous action. By being 'for Bush,' I meant that we should actively advocate and promote Bush's re-election, but do so on specific, narrow grounds: that it is necessary to fight an offensive war against terrorism and to fundamentally reform the political system of the Middle East. But we should also be prepared, after the election, to immediately and vigorously oppose everything that is wrong with the Bush agenda--to demand that he live up to his fierce rhetoric in prosecuting the war, and to oppose his attempts to expand the welfare state and inject religion into politics."(->)

Anti-Bushites for Bush: Bush Cannot Be Trusted to Fight the War Properly, But Kerry Can Be Trusted to Retreat
| September 7, 2004
Writing about the 1972 election, Ayn Rand summed up her position: "If there were some campaign organization called 'Anti-Nixonites for Nixon,' it would name my position." That also names TIA's position on this year's election: we are anti-Bushites for Bush.(->)

Kerry's Deepest Loyalty: Can an Opponent of American Military Force Honestly Run for Commander-in-Chief?
| August 31, 2004
To the New Left and their spokesman, John Kerry, opposition to Communism--an unwillingness to yield to the predominant forces of history--was the source of America's moral corruption and a source off deep denial...This is the world view behind John Kerry's statement in his book, _The New
Soldier_ , "We are asking America to turn from false glory, hollow victory, fabricated foreign threats, fear which threatens us as a nation, shallow pride which feeds off fear."
John Kerry was the public face of a movement that converted broad based, _rational_ public support for ending what had become the purposeless loss of American life--into a campaign to undermine the defense of liberty against Communism throughout the world.
Today, the young Navy lieutenant who condemned war to a committee of senators is a becoming an old man. He wants to be President of the United States. He wants to be commander-in-chief of our nation's armed forces in a time of war. Rather than face up to his anti-American past, John Kerry is militantly evading it--attempting to pre-empt attacks on his anti-war past by running as a Vietnam war hero and announcing that he is the only presidential candidate who has served in combat and thus, by implication, the only candidate who understands war.(->)

Environmentalism's Big Lie: Renewable Energy
| August 1, 2001
Claims that renewable energy can replace fossil fuels and nuclear power are a fraud. In California, moreover, environmentalists have revealed that their real attitude toward renewable energy is no less hostile than their attitude toward all other forms of man-made power. After the installation of hundreds of "alternative" energy plants in the state—in the nation's most ambitious program to build environmentally correct power plants—the greens have begun to reject one renewable power technology after another.
