Keeping Up With the Frenches

July 27, 2011 By David French

All the French news that’s fit to print! Today in Townhall I ask why there aren’t more veterans in America’s op-ed pages. It begins: After almost one full decade of continuous war, the gap between America’s veterans and our cultural elites is wider than ever. With ROTC (until recently) removed from our top-tier campuses, lingering anti-military biases that date from the Vietnam war, and an understandable reticence to risk promising futures on foreign battlefields, our culture-makers have shunned military service...

Defending Religion: Volume 1

July 25, 2011 By David French

I’m religious. My religion is Christianity. My denomination is Presbyterian. My confession is Westminster. My creed is the Apostles’. I’m not “spiritual.” I don’t think the most important thing in life is my own “relationship with Jesus.” Heck, I’m simply not good enough, smart enough, or wise enough to figure out much of anything on my own. I need the Bible. I need the teachings of the church. I need the wisdom of church fathers. I can’t reinvent the wheel... Read more

The Cultural Importance of the Tea Party

July 21, 2011 By David French

Following up on my post last week regarding the cultural roots of our debt crisis, today in NRO I addressed the Tea Party as a cultural solution. It begins: As rumors swirl of a possible Obama/Boehner deal, it’s worth remembering that any agreement is but one skirmish in a long cultural war. Budget agreements made this year are renegotiated the next, and we have to settle in for a sustained conflict. At stake is nothing less than the relationship between citizen... Read more

Army Wife Campaigning for a Yankee in Tennessee

July 21, 2011 By Nancy French

When David was in Iraq, I actually worked for the Romney campaign for a short time in order to get Gov. Romney’s name on the ballot in Tennessee? Our new book “Home and Away” (which all of you should buy!) details one event which happened when I was trying to collect signatures for my petition. National Review has the story — click through! You’ll get a kick out of this! Read more

Why the Michele Bachmann Hit Piece Was Wrong

July 19, 2011 By David French

I started my day today writing perhaps the most strident blog post I’ve ever written. I called it “The Betrayal of Michele Bachmann” and posted it in the Corner. I was responding to the Daily Caller’s anonymously-sourced allegations that Michele Bachmann is “incapacitated” by migraines she attempts to control though “heavy pill use” and pulled out (by my standards) all the rhetorical stops. I said the sources — former aides — were “cowardly,” called their betrayal “disgusting,” and even threw... Read more

Kids’ Movies Versus Capitalism

July 19, 2011 By Nancy French

I took the kids to see Winnie the Pooh this past weekend, and was irritated by the short film that preceded the flick. Here’s my latest on NRO about the phenomenon: Land developers are evil. At least according to popular kids’ movies. The most recent offender is “The Battle of Nessie,” a beautiful short film that features the work of award-winning directors Stevie Wermers-Skelton and Kevin Deters, and Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino. Set in Scotland, the film purports to explain... Read more
