Martin Eisenstadt’s Blog

It has come to my attention that a golf blogger who moonlights as a shill for identity politics has been calling us names and challenging our right to speak freely. My assistant Jimmy thought I would be upset upon hearing this news. But I explained to him that flying under the radar in these turbulent times is not a bad thing, especially considering the sensitive national security work in which we sometimes engage. Unlike the Bill Wolfrums, Marnie Vander Helsings and Arianna Huffingtons of the world (or even my esteemed colleague Debbie Schlussel), my ego is not so out of whack that I feel compelled to plaster my face next to each and every blog entry, potentially compromising the safety of my dedicated staff and trusted contacts in the field.

To paraphrase the late Dartmouth professor Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, “a citizen is a person who, if need be, can re-create his civilization.” Here at the Harding Institute we take pride in being good citizens, and part of being a good citizen is accepting that the “other”, even if you don’t completely understand him/her, is just as real and true and worthy as yourself.
