Daniel Larison went another round on Noah Millman’s discussion of Christianity and liberalism, and Millman extracted the truth of Wall Street from the Facebook IPO. Dreher placed potential baby boomer assisted suicide in philosophical context, and offered his take on mommy porn fan-fiction.

Larison doubted the efficacy of small government in a Romney administration averse to a rollback of the national security state, and Pat Buchanan reexamined Watergate. Jordan Bloom anticipated libertarian discontent with a hypocritical choom gang president, Scott Galupo cycled through Republican W-regret, and Samuel Goldman defended political constitutionalism against originalist misconceptions.

Tom Engelhardt blasted America’s forgetfulness of wars. Philip Giraldi exposed profound governmental ignorance of Islam, while Scott McConnell reflected on Israel from Paris, and Goldman went obscure-book shopping.
