Do Americans Prefer Equalizing Outcome or Opportunity in 2024?

September 11, 2024 Gonzalo Schwarz

The American Dream was built on a promise of equality – a promise of equality in terms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. During the 2024 election, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are both working overtime to say why Republicans or Democrats are better on the equality issue. But what kind of equality? Harris … Read more

Social Justice Failure: Workers AREN’T Equal

July 15, 2024July 14, 2024 Skip

Woke is Maoism with American Characteristics”

July 9, 2024 Skip

What is Woke? What is Equity? I can tell you for certain that neither of those terms includes the traditional American ideals of meritocracy, equality before the Law, and equal opportunity—YOU get to decide how far in Life you can go and what you can achieve.

Embrace the Left’s Worldview or You Are Worse Than the Enemy

August 4, 2023 Steve MacDonald

There are several critical points we try to make about the Left’s “victim groups” and the pursuit of progressive one-party rule. First, your special rights designation is temporary. If they determine you will not do their bidding – expect to be “othered.” And your special status has a shelf life. Once the Left has what it wants, you are garbage to them.

The Big Lie of DEI

May 31, 2023 Peter Lemiska

February 8, 2023 Skip

I was looking through our archives for mentions of the Frankfurt School, and Antonio Gramsci for my “Disney’s REALLY gone Woke” post, and this popped up from 2016. While not directly in line, it does approach in a similar fashion because it REQUIRES Government to carry out the action.

November 27, 2022November 26, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Burlington Vermont. Just two words and you know where we are headed. Wingnut-moonbat-progressivism. And what have they done this time? To use public land reserved for gardening, you must swear a loyalty oath to their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion gods.

October 12, 2022October 12, 2022 Ray Cardello

We entrust our children to the American education system for thirteen years, and it may be the most devastating decision of their lives. The department of education is toxic. The last thing they have in mind is the betterment and education of our children.
