“ET Analyzes Paris Attacks & Weeps For The West” continues to draw intense reactions from the few sentient readers one can hope to reach, so often in the American Heartland:

Dear Ms. Mercer,

OMG!!!!!!! This is almost surreal, that is if it wasn’t so true. You, my dear respected lady/writer, are absolutely fantastic in the way you display your thoughts and purpose. I don’t know about the rest of America, but for sure I’m your biggest fan in the Heartland! Very few writers cause my heart to beat with purpose in such dark days. …

… Today, you have given me purpose, breaking this ice of despair. I once again feel like going on the attack against those who would destroy our civilization, our need, our want to live and be productive with liberty in a free society.

How often do I have to say, “You have just out-done yourself?”
And you also excite me with a passion for right ideals – not every writer can do this.
Sincerely,

ST, IL

UPDATE (11/29): More notes:

Since we can’t elect Ilana or ET, let’s at least elect Trump. Fantastic article.

The Quality Of ‘Argument’ On Leftist Campus

Argument, Education, Intelligence, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Pseudo-intellectualism, Reason

The quality of argument one can expect from the Left, which dominates campuses, is as follows: When confronted about the fact that 99 percent of colleges faculty are left-liberals, the reply from the Left is that to get into college you need to be smart and libertarians, classical liberals, conservatives and independents are simply not as smart as the Left. The argument is distilled by King’s College Politics Professor David Corbin as, “You’re stupid because you’re not like me.”

These are the folks that are shaping your kinds’ minds. More about the Zombie Nation in “Continuum Of Propaganda: Yale, Mizzou & Your Child’s School.”

Syria & The ‘Delusion Of The Obama-Dunham-Soetoro Clan’

Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, Islam, Middle East

“Obama’s call for the overthrow of the internationally recognized Syrian government and its replacement by Moderate Islam, an outdated delusion of the Obama-Dunham-Soetoro clan,” has been “disastrous,” laments Steve Sailer. Yes, “no President was better familiarized with the Islamic world” than Obama, “yet few have made worse calls than the one Obama made over Syria”:

Obama was educated expensively by his family to be a “Muslimist” working for the State Department, a soft power NGO like the Ford Foundation, or a university (such as the U. of Hawaii’s East-West Center) as a diplomat or other go-between between America and Muslim-intensive regions like Indonesia, Pakistan, or East Africa. …

In fact, “no President before Obama has had so much familiarity with Islam via family, in-laws, residence, vacations, friends (e.g., his ‘Pakistani mafia’ buddies on the fringes of the Bhutto family), and academic study. As he told his biographer David Maraniss in 2011, until he rebelled and moved to Chicago to be a race activist in 1985, he was on a predictable career path toward being employed as a specialist in international relations.

UPDATED: Great Historian Of Liberty On ‘ET Analyzes Paris Attacks & Weeps For The West’

Classical Liberalism, Free Speech, History, libertarianism, Liberty, Nationhood, The West

It’s not easy to admit, but writing “ET Analyzes Paris Attacks & Weeps for the West,” now on The Unz Review, was very emotional. Enough said. Therefore, it means a great deal when liberty’s historian, the great Dr. Ralph Raico, says this about my ET:

November 27, 2015 at 5:04 pm GMT • 100 Words

An excellent, courageous article. The author demonstrates her unwavering commitment to individual rights, including freedom of expression, by criticizing the Federal Republic’s prosecution of an elderly woman for the heinous thought crime of “Holocaust denial.” Such prosecution is a common occurrence in the soft authoritarian regimes of western Europe which the First Amendment has thankfully spared us in America–so far.

UPDATE: Clyde Wilson, another great historian (quoted just the other day), this time of the South, sent commendations. It means a lot, because, as I said, this piece took a lot out of me.
