Why am I here? To learn: the collective wisdom of the FreeRepublic is immense. There is always an expert in the field or "simply" a sharp mind presenting a fresh take on the problem, or a brilliant summary. To exchange ideas and participate in the debate. To get information: some good people do a tremendous leg work scouting infosphere for me. Once in a while I return a favor. FreeRepublic is my news portal. Not the only one, of course, but in the handful of the best. If you read this, I have a favor to ask: please help us all to improve FR by being accurate and diligent with keywords. Can't say for all, but it is my favorite mode of searching FR: by a keyword. There is no automatic indexing of articles, but proper use of keywords is the next best thing. It is one of my favorite tools. (Of course, for this to work somebody should be so kind or diligent as to enter a keyword first).  Try it yourself (if not already), and then please do your part. For example, when an article is indexed by author, i.e. the author's name is entered as a keyword, you can find all articles by this author.

My favorites/bookmarks:

One of the most important articles of the recent years: Charles Krauthammer: Democratic Realism, An American Foreign Policy for a Unipolar World  and to answer the critics, mainly Fukuyama In Defense of Democratic Realism (the link requires a login, try this link or link)

Mark Steyn: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/marksteyn/index   contact knews_hound  to get on his Mark Steyn ping list.

 

My 3 ping lists:

1. Victor Davis Hanson: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/victordavishanson/index and http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/vdh/index 

                           freepmail me to get on my VDH ping list.

Index of his articles: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/k-victordavishanson/browse

His NRO archive: http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson-archive.asp

His blog: http://victorhanson.com/index.html     BIO: http://victorhanson.com/Author/index.html

2. Orson Scott Card: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/orsonscottcard/index - freepmail me to get on my OSC ping list

Orson Scott Card is one of the best Sci-Fi writers. His Ender's series are enormously popular and translated to many languages. His websites attract attention of readers from all over the world.

Since 9/11 he wrote many political essays. He is a conservative democrat of Zell Miller type (there are still few left) who is upset with hijacking of his party by the Left. His articles are more inline with the FreeRepublic spirit than with his own political website: http://www.ornery.org/index.html  that is heavily populated by American- and other Leftists who are delightfully annoyed by Mr. Card's conservatism. He does not post on that site and its moderated by somebody else.

Links: his articles discussed at FR: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/k-orsonscottcard/browse  and archived here (it is a must go place for all new to OSC political writing): http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/index.html

His literary, non-political website: http://www.hatrack.com

His fresh articles appear in the Rhinoceros Times, Greensboro, NC: http://www.rhinotimes.com/greensboro/  (before being posted permanently on his The Ornery American website). Read his books/movies/and everything reviews: http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/ 

His "About" page: http://www.hatrack.com/osc/about.shtml

Old Ping Lists: I used to have separate ping lists for David Warren and Lee Harris pinging to ALL their articles, but not anymore (it's too time consuming, and their interests and mine have diverged a bit lately). Still, I'll ping to some of their articles through my not author-specific  Nailed It! / Interesting Article ping list (see below).

David Warren - Clear-thinking Canadian: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/k-davidwarren/browse    His own website: http://www.davidwarrenonline.com. His page at the Ottawa Citizen:  http://www.canada.com/ottawa/ottawacitizen/columnists/davidwarren.html  (access to the articles there is by paid subscription)

Lee Harris: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/k-leeharris/browse  His articles at the TechCentralStation are archived here: http://www2.techcentralstation.com/1051/searchauthor.jsp?Bioid=BIOHARRISLEE. His ideas may be controversial at times and are not always easy to digest. I disagree with him often enough. But take a time to read some of his classics -- the following articles are the reason why I started paying attention to what Lee Harris says. I am sure you will find these articles interesting.

Al Qaeda’s Fantasy Ideology By Lee Harris (FR post)   "Al Qaeda's Fantasy Ideology," (original) The Clausewitz Curse (FR post)             The Clausewitz Curse (original) Given our uncertainty, what alternative does this, or any, administration have?   Our World-Historical Gamble  (FR post)           Our World-Historical Gamble (original) The collapse of the liberal order and the end of classical sovereignty.  The Intellectual Origins Of America-Bashing  http://www.policyreview.org/dec02/harris.html America-bashing has sadly come to be “the opium of the intellectual,” to use the phrase Raymond Aron borrowed from Marx in order to characterize those who followed the latter into the twentieth century. And like opium it produces vivid and fantastic dreams. His book:   Civilization and Its Enemies : The Next Stage of History

3.  I also maintain a Nailed It!  ping list. This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.)
I try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worth attention.

This ping list is separate from my other author-specific ping lists for Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

I ping to articles I post myself and articles already posted by others. Feel free to browse the collection (updated on June 20, 2008):
