Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Rob's off on vacation, but Peter's back from the Promised Land! Thankfully you won't have to wait until his next episode of Uncommon Knowledge is released to hear from Yoram Hazony, author of Conservatism: A Rediscovery. Yoram has revisited the past in the hopes of finding something new that conservatives will desperately need in order to offer something other than a another variant of liberalism. He answers his many critics and considers a plausible path of resistance against the progressive threat.
Later, Peter describes his faith-strengthening visit to Israel and James recounts the excitement of his chance to meet Ricochet members in New York. Plus, what's the deal with Humphrey Bogart!?

It's great to have Peter Robinson back, particularly with his most moving comments about his stay in Israel...I hope that Yoram Hazony appears again as a guest on Ricochet...I was pleased to hear him remind us that the future really is indeed unpredictable and that whether secularization is relentlessly ongoing is something we cannot know. I wish there had been some discussion about how Christians and Jews, conservative and religious, in America can or should interact in that regard.
Humphrey Bogart, like the film Casablanca, at least with anyone with a European background, requires considerable suspension of disbelief. Perhaps because it is so quaint, so quintessentially "American" of a certain era, that one can enjoy it.
James Lileks' pronunciation of femme fatale sent me to the Internet. Yes, Anglicized, femme does rhyme with gem. Interesting... And pourquoi pas?
