Bhagwat and Jinping: On National Culture
Chinese president Xi Jinping’s statement that “Islam in China must be Chinese in orientation,” makes me think of the words of Mohan Bhagwat, RSS chief from 2009. Bhagwat said: “Everything can be negotiated, except the Hindu Rashtra.” (*Understanding RSS*, by Rakesh Sinha, page 119). Bhagwat and Jinping are making good political arguments. A nation’s culture and political interests are not negotiable. All religions in a nation have to be nationalistic in orientation. A nation cannot have peace, stability, and progress unless people of all religions identify with a common culture. read more

THOSE INCREDIBLY MAINSTREAM REPUBLICANS

But they're more apt to see Republicans as mainstream on the economy than Democrats. 2) Both parties are seen as in the mainstream by most of the public across a variety o... read more

Big Green's counterproductive agenda
Rich Lowry: Without a doubt, the climate-obsessed green movement is the most stupidly self-destructive force in the world today, leaving a trail of irrationality and folly wherever it goes.
