Thanks for the ping.

I learned so much reading him.

Make straight the way of the Bad Orange Man.

Remarkable .an

Chronicles us a Remarkable journal.

I am not a republican.

I am a conservative.

[Pelham]

Exactly.

Those of us reading Sam Francis 30 yrs ago recognized what we were hearing from Donald Trump in 2015 and could hardly believe our chance had arrived.

[Pelham]

There is an important difference.

Chronicles was so far ahead of its time. I began reading it in the mid ‘80s and quickly realized that they discussed what National Review was ignoring even then.

[Steely Tom]

I can’t remember ever hearing of this guy.

“telling the truth about the way the world really is, not the way he wished it to be.”

Wait a minute here.... Sam was a negative Nellie? A Debbie Downer?

[NorthMountain]

Sam Francis, Joseph Sobran, Pat Buchannan, and a couple others were "excommunicated" from The Conservative Movement for allegedly being "antisemitic".

Their real crime was being correct.

[Sarcazmo]

“Conservatives could not hope to achieve anything by defending elites”

Interesting to think about. I used to defend Pharma, shoe and beer companies. ‘Tards use to rail against them. Told me they wanted to kill people and only cared about making a buck (imagine that, wanting to kill the people buying their product).

Then I found out that they actually did want to kill me and castrate my kids and they don’t care at all about making a buck. The ‘tards found out at the same time, and all of a sudden started liking these companies.

It’s like the whole world went through the portal into the 5th dimension.

[Carry_Okie]

Since then, “the Republican party establishment,” “the neo-conservative intelligentsia,” and “most of the mainstream conservative establishment” have turned themselves into cheerleaders for Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and now Mitt Romney,

He forgot GHWB, Reagan's worst mistake, right up there with Kennedy, O'Connor, and amnesty for border security.

It was Mr. Francis who coined the phrase "Anarcho-Tyranny."

Anarcho-Tyranny, U.S.A. by Samuel Francis, July 1994

"Anarcho-tyranny is a social condition characterized by a combination of anarchy and tyranny, where the government is simultaneously ineffective at enforcing laws against criminal behavior and overly oppressive against law-abiding citizens."

Surprised I’ve never heard of this guy. Just ordered “Shots Fired” on Kindle. Looks like he did some essays re James Burnham too.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I can’t remember ever hearing of this guy.

Thanks for sharing that important piece of information.

Yes, in the sense that when arguing with fools, (even those who likely agree with me 75-80% of the time otherwise) I end up watching said fools perform the act of which I speak. Sometimes Israel is the recipient, other times, figuratively, I am the intended target.

[Captain Peter Blood]

He predicted someone like Trump in that 1994 Essay. He also worked for Pat Buchanan in his 1992 Presidential Run and in retrospect Buchanan would have been a pretty good President for us.
