He ain’t quite the famous Debbie, but I’d sure pay cash money to go hear Prof. Patrick Deneen speak on Saturday at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas. Ah, but the speech will be free and open to the public, as will other speeches at the ISI conference on American identity and constitutional order:

“Land of Pilgrim’s Pride: Tocqueville and the American Founding Vision”
Patrick Deneen, professor of government, Georgetown University
“They Built Better than They Knew”
Peter Lawler, professor of government, Berry College
“Not Your ‘Fore’ Father’s Weakest Branch: The Judicial Challenge to the American Constitutional Order”
Bradley C.S. Watson, professor of political thought, St. Vincent College
