Confessions of a Conservative Atheist
The world’s only one man media empire
It’s rare when a single work of art, much less a single song running less than five minutes, encapsulates the full genius of an artist in one fell swoop. “Thunder Road” is precisely such a work; everything that makes Bruce Springsteen truly great is present and all you need to do is listen. There is… Continue reading Springsteen’s Thunder Road: Still brilliant and seminal whether or not Mary’s dress “sways” or “waves”
A former Senator, a current Congresswoman, a publicly funded media outlet, and an out of control activist all take aim at Independence Day and our Founding documents. Instead of celebrating America, they insist on bashing it. Can’t we just have a single day where America is great before we get back into our partisan corners?… Continue reading The odd way some liberals celebrate the Fourth of July
This Fourth of July celebrate your freedoms by embracing your right to the contents of your own mind and conscience. The Founders themselves knew that passions and factions would always run high, but the alternative to a free society would be far worse. Their legacy is your right to say no to groupthink. The Fourth… Continue reading Declare your independence from groupthink
The pop star appears in court to dispute the 13 year old conservatorship that has denied her basic freedoms, rights, and autonomy over her own person, even having another child. For more than a decade, Ms. Spears’ life has not been her own. One wonders how this is even possible in the land of the… Continue reading Britney Spears: Wow, just wow, is this really America?
For argument’s sake, let’s assume that everything the Critical Race Theorists and their anti-racist allies claim about institutional racism in America is true. The question is whether or not their goal of establishing a new racial hierarchy with white people on the bottom would truly solve the problem. Hint: It won’t. For argument’s sake, let’s… Continue reading Racism is real: What can we do about it?
Lin-Manuel Miranda prostrating himself before the woke crowd for not being woke enough is this week’s entertaining aside, but the real fight is over the nature of truth and traditional liberal values like equality before the law, free speech, and the free exchange of ideas. The battle lines are being drawn and the mainstream media… Continue reading The woke can’t even stand the woke, but that’s not even the worst part of what’s coming
A lecture at Yale University claims white people are psychopaths and demented, violent predators, fantasizes about shooting them in the head, and concludes that no good white people exist on the planet. Yes, that Yale University. It gets better: The speaker also believes white people don’t eat bread. What could possibly explain this madness? “This… Continue reading Honest question: Is there anything you can’t say about white people?
To my knowledge, there aren’t many arena rock anthems about dead musicians haunting the singer, but somehow Springsteen manages to pull it off by blending the old and the new, combining old things in new ways in classic form. Who says an artist can’t produce some of their best work at 70 years old? It’s… Continue reading Springsteen’s Ghosts: Living proof that a truly great rock song can be written in any era by an artist of any age
The former First Lady can’t handle the grocery story, either. In Britain, four year old girls can’t be tomboys any longer, nor can Saturday Night Live joke about much of anything. Don’t worry though, the army and the CIA are going woke as we speak, even as a new study indicates wokeness is a road… Continue reading Michelle Obama fears the DMV and other wackiness in the world of the woke
Sometimes, less is more and the penultimate track from Born to Run is certainly one of those times. In just twenty eight lines lacking a chorus or any musical bombast, Springsteen spins a tale of a down on his luck wannabe gangster embarking on an unknown caper, told as a conversation between an unnamed narrator… Continue reading Meeting Across the River: Bruce Springsteen’s lyrical genius in one understated song
