“Serbia is probably doomed to go the way of every other historic nation swallowed up in the cesspool of the EU.”

Ok, so the EU & UN are corrupt organizations, they are not capable of guiding nations and states to their True End. So you can identify the problems, good, but can you surely identify a solution to clean up this mess? What is to replace the EU & UN? What would chronicles readers like to see replace these corrupt governmental institutions? Introduce another wave of democratic governmental institutions and alliances such as the League of Democracy?

Or will just a change in personnel do it? And leave the UN & EU untouched but change hearts and minds of those who sit in these governmental institutions? Probably not.

One liberal is as good as a conservative in this modern day and age. Is there any real difference between liberalism and conservatism? Both ideologies have recourse to the same institutions. And after all were not most of the men who created these organizations, conservative to some degree in thought, word, and action? So what’s to change these governmental institutions: EU & UN for the better.

Stand behind a President McCain and his League of Democracy?

Again: “Where do we begin?”

Practical concerns about the SPLC and other thought-policing agencies aside, there's something existentially creepy to me about my name floating out in cyberspace, accessible to every last twisted freak on the planet.

Of course that's a situation the staff of this website has to live with -- but in that case I guess it goes with the territory.

One of the several things that I find contemptible about blogging is this use of pretend names of most posters. It is as if most bloggers don’t have the courage to stand up for their words and ideas. If you are somehow ashamed of what you write, then don’t write it.

I prefer the use of pseudonyms for posters on this blog. Pseudonyms give the people the chance to wander in and post the occasional relevant comment, and they allow us to post anonymously so that only our ideas come up for discussion, not our circumstances or occupations. If someone here wishes to identify themselves the can, but I prefer not to at this moment.

Are you really retiring? Will you continue to write your column for Chronicles? If not, it will be an unfortunate loss for us readers....

Dr. Fleming: "I had hoped, by beginning a serious dialogue on the early Church, Protestants and Catholics might begin to find some common ground. In fact, that is exactly what has happened. Can we develop the same common ground on more political topics? Why not? Where do we begin?"

Many of the disagreements paleos have (e.g. Protestantism versus Catholicism, etc.) are bridgeable, in my estimation. Those differences, however, that exist with libertarians (e.g. immigration, free-maret worship, etc.) may not be. You may have some knucklehead posters from time to time (if you think these are bad, go read the nonsense over at FreeRepublic or Little Green Footballs, where most commenters call Buchanan a "nazi" because of his recent straight-forward op-ed on demographics, or an "Islamofascist sympathizer" because of his opposition to the war), but it seems to me that your average paleoconservative is smarter than your average conservative, which is both a blessing (better conversations) and a curse (no true movement following).
