This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute.  After the failures of socialism—economically, historically, and ethically—the Left-liberal intellectuals, not wanting to abandon socialism, employed several new strategies. It has been suggested that these several manifestations can be subsumed under one general category—postmodernism. After a review of postmodern philosophy and philosophical influences, Stephen Hicks explains his central argument in Explaining Postmodernism: “Postmodernism is the academic far Left’s epistemological strategy for responding to the crisis caused by the failures of socialism in theory and in practice.” In other words, once socialism was discredited theoretically, economically (in several ways), historically, and ethically, those who were still ideologically committed to…

The English and French had honored and laid to rest their unknown soldiers in 1920 — in Westminster Abbey and at the Arc de Triomphe, respectively. Then, in October 1921, it was the United States’ turn.The task of selecting a body to represent the thousands of still-unknown dead from the Great War was daunting. The United States still had not identified 1,237 dead soldiers, and, according to the U.S. Naval Institute, extraordinary care had to be taken to select a body that would not be identified later. Four bodies were exhumed from the U.S. cemeteries of Aisne-Marne, Meuse-Argonne, Somme and…

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. One travesty in the world of shotguns today is that there hasn’t been an attainable over/under made in America. Berettas, Benellis, and Franchis are of course made in Italy. Browning Citoris are made in Japan. And then there’s the horde of Turkish-made O/Us, including those offered by Mossberg.  So I felt no small amount of excitement, and patriotism, when I snapped together the new Ruger Red Label III. This 20 gauge over/under has a history as an affordable, American made shotgun for the blue-collar…

What’s the probability ducks will be on the marsh? As with any speculative venture, we try to influence the outcome with preparation, routine, and a dose of magic.
