The Gormogons Posted on August 17, 2010 by Confucius, Œc. Vol.April 7, 2014

Here’s a couple tiny excerpts, but you need to read Arthur Herman’s piece in the upcoming Commentary. Twice. Not just because it jibes extensively with Confucius’s* thoughts on the American military. Seriously. Make time. Print it out. Whatever it takes. … Continue reading →

The Gormogons Posted on October 24, 2008 by GorTOctober 24, 2008
