THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Theodore Dalrymple) - The Golden Oriole Rule
The explanations must be out there, even if we cannot find them. The post The Golden Oriole Rule appeared first on The American Conservative .
UK/Europe The Golden Oriole Rule The explanations must be out there, even if we cannot find them. There have been fewer golden orioles in my garden in France this year: or perhaps, more accurately, I should say that I have heard fewer of them. Their single, slightly melancholy or plaintive whistling cry (one could hardly call it a song) has been much less evident than last year above the chirping chorus of the cicadas. It is difficult to see golden orioles, despite the brilliant yellow plumage of the males, for they are shy birds, and are much more manifest by sound than by sight.

Marching into Parliament wielding machine-guns is far too obvious a way to stage a coup. Instead, you could more effectively enlist polling companies like YouGov to go out and ask the general public a…Open

Politics Give Pigs a Chance Conservatives and liberals should unite to kill the Save Our Bacon Act. Photo by JOSEP LAGO/AFP via Getty Images To say that we live in an age of polarization is akin to saying that Senegal is hot. It’s so obvious that it almost feels insulting to point it out. Ya think?! On many issues, this sort of polarization is inevitable. Either the U.S. should attack Iran or it shouldn’t. Either men can become women or they can’t. Mutual agreement is not always possible, any more than all businesses can be profitable, or all nations can win the World Cup. Sometimes, though, there are opportunities for productive bipartisan accord. A surprising example? Animal welfare. Generally, of course, right-wingers are…Open
