Well, it’s somehow, inevitably, Tuesday today. And here’s what we have for you to read:
At Postmodern Conservative , Pete Spiliakos talks about the new Republicans (more on that here ), Carl Scott decries lies (and the lying liars who tell them), and Peter Lawler continues to talk Tocqueville .
A lot from Peter Leithart today, so here are his longer posts on various books—against “species nominalism,” on how technology is making us smarter , on quoting Kierkegaard, and, finally, a thoughtful look at a Psalm.
Dr. Boli has a good doctor (if, for some reason, Dr. Boli isn’t sufficient for you).
Here at First Thoughts , Mark Movsesian reminds you to vote (and not just in New York), Colin Garbarino says that if you think Thai people are racists you’re an imperialist , and new blogger Dale M. Coulter talks about the out-of-sync wings of Evangelicalism .
Finally, On the Square today, Ivan Plis sheds some light on the internal workings of the Orthodox church, and Elizabeth Scalia wonders what would have been better than the Affordable Care Act.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
