		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s clear that the media, sundry politicians and other savants are trying to transform the idiots of Occupy Wall Street in the new oracles of culture, politics, economics and whatever other matters are close at hand. We suspected that the occupiers weren&#8217;t too bright or well-informed &#8211; or both &#8211; and now we&#8217;re sure. That [...]

His main point &#8211; that new technologies tend to undermine the systems that preceded them and the nations that built upon them &#8211; is well taken, if a bit overdrawn. While [...]

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Spengler&#8221; in this case is the renowned David Goldman, until recently senior editor of First Things. His columns in the Asia Times became a must-read for people interested in historical trends informed by conservative religious belief and demographic and cultural trends. I saluted him when he &#8220;came out&#8221; in April 2009. His latest essay comments [...]

For a first-person account on the ground, see Katherine Ernst&#8217;s must-read piece in City Journal. The same goes for their co-religionists around the country. But speaking of clueless: how about Paul Krugman? The former Enron adviser continues his winning streak by [...]
