I agree with you.

I have been subscribing to Chronicles for almost 20 years. The writing is stellar; the analyses solid. I recommend it to my friends and have given subscriptions as gifts to those whom I perceived lost but redeemable.

Thank you for posting the recommendation.

There are times when I rant furiously over something until I realize that:

1- I am STILL a Neocon at heart;
2- Chronicles is invariably correct (based upon logic, history and facts).

Congratulations on your faithful intellect! I have only subscribed for 12 years but look forward to challenging and intelligent discourse in every issue.

Francis

I, too, read Chronicles. More Conservatives should do so. Mr. Sheed is correct: the paleoconservative view of Chronicles would infuriate most of those reading and posting on this forum. I believe the content and viewpoint would please many of the Founding Fathers.

A great source of original material is Liberty Fund, founded by Pierre F. Goodrich in 1960 “for the purpose of exploring the many dimensions of liberty.”

From the Liberty Fund website, one easily navigates to: The Library of Economics and Liberty; The Goodrich Room: Interactive Tour, displaying a timeline to help viewers understand our intellectual heritage; and The Online Library of Liberty, a project of Liberty Fund, Inc., where visitors may download electronic copies of many great works at no cost.

We need to continue educating ourselves, so that we may educate others and provide an intellectual defense of this Republic. The alternative is serfdom in Totalitarian darkness.

In the closing paragraph of his American Thinker article, Safe Seats and Carolina Blues, C. Edmund Wright argues for the same thing you do: self-education and intellectual defense of the Republic.
