In our Columnist section today, Rebecca Hagelin has some excellent advice (and a few great web sites and tools) to help win the war for your kids in your own dang home.
It isn’t hard to convince most parents to enlist in the daily battle for the hearts and minds of their children—the evidence of cultural rot is all around. But many lack the practical tools they need to assure victory.
For those who doubt that we are, indeed, at war over our children, consider: They are the most marketed-to generation of kids in world history. They spend an estimated $150 billion to $200 billion a year on everything from music to clothes to high-tech gadgets. They enjoy more affluence and more toys than any generation before them. Yet they also suffer from depression, fractured families and self-absorption. […]

Also today, Jennifer Roback Morse delves into the Katrina aftermath—in fact what led to the aftermath, in a very insightful analysis of the marital status of the folks down there.
She looks forward too though, to what might be needed in terms of new ways of thinking about “rebuilding the civil society of the Big Easy”.
And one of our friends in academia, Mike Adams, begins his column with “Dear fellow capitalist:”—so you know it’s a goodie.
Dear fellow capitalist:
Thank you for your email, professor. I understand the distress you must feel after a couple of recent (and very bad) hires in your department. I know you are concerned now that there are three Marxist professors in your department when, just a year ago, there was only one.
Of course, having a token Marxist professor in your department can be fun. As you know, Marxist professors invariably say stupid things. For the “imbedded” conservative columnist (like me) they can provide a lot of fodder for columns and, of course, a lot of laughs. […]
Paul Jackson stands up for the little country that could, Taiwan, as China tries through the U.N. to muzzle it—oh and to scare it out of existence with 700 nuclear missiles pointed directly at the tiny country. “Banishing Taiwan from membership is cowardly act, he says, and “decent men and women around the world should care.” Of course he’s right.
And lastly, today, little-known columnist Joel Johannesen finally graces our Columnist section pages again with another multi-pronged attack on all that is liberal-left.
It’s so good I couldn’t find just the right quote.
PTBC was founded by Mr. Johannesen in 2000.
