Daniel Greenfield Ping List Notification of new articles.
I am posting Greenfield's articles from FrontPage and the Sultan Knish blog. FReepmail or drop me a comment to get on or off the Greenfield ping list.
I recommend an occasional look at the Sultan Knish blog. It is a rich source of materials, links and more from one of the preeminent writers of our age.
FrontPage is a basic resource for conservative thought.

"Let me be, let my people be..."
I can say it more simply :-)
Utopians and leftists in general want to implement Plato’s Republic, with themselves as the Guardians, their hired henchmen as the Warriors, and the rest of us as the Workers.
Conservatives in general want to implement Aristotle’s Politics, sometimes as amended by Locke’s Second Treatise on Civil Government, with a check-and-balance of power between the oligarchy and the citizenry—in other words, a true republic, not a Plato’s Republic.
Most people in general do not care what the government is, as long as it is there when they think they need it, and not intrusive when they think they don’t need it. This is why leftists can con them into thinking that they (the leftists) are the only ones who care about them, and that conservatives only care about themselves.
This is also why Trump is going to win, because for the first time since Reagan we have a standard-bearer who can convince the general populace that he cares about them, and that Hillary doesn’t. The leftists will figure that out some time between now and 2020, and (if they are smart) find a candidate for the next election who exudes caring, as Obama did in 2008, as Bill Clinton did in 1992, as Carter did in 1976.

Thank you for posting this. He is brilliant, and he is on a roll.
I view Daniel Greenfield, Victor Davis Hanson, Thomas Sowell, and Bill Whittle as the top conservative spokesmen in this time. If Phyllis Schlafly were still alive, she would be there too.
