Notable Quote – Capitalism Requires Both Individual Freedom and Respect for Private Ownership

April 26, 2022 Skip

Capitalism is an economy based on decentralized private ownership of resources and open markets; “based on” means that private ownership rights are acknowledged and respected. Most members of society must feel a duty to respect the private rights of others. Ownership rights must be exercisable without fear, ridicule, or disrespect from other members of society. … Read more

The Anachronism of Apostasy

April 11, 2022 Amil Imani

Whereas the practice of slavery enslaves the body, the dogma of apostasy ensnares the mind. Whereas slavery is a shameful practice of the past, some shameless religionists still use the doctrine of apostasy to intimidate and severely punish people who elect to choose their own beliefs.

School District Hides Traumatizing Segregation Experiment from Parents

School District Hides Traumatizing Segregation Experiment from Parents

Schools do many things that grind my rhetorical gears, but the deliberate deception may be the worst. It happens in New Hampshire in violation of the law, probably because the time is worth the crime, not that anyone can be bothered to punish violators.

Reparations for Union Soldiers dying to free slaves

“Reparations” will INCREASE the Damage Done!

March 1, 2022March 1, 2022 Skip

This is about the bill, just passed by the Democrats in the US House, that will set up a committee to “study how reparations for slavery will take shape.”

Data Point – The Graph That Shatters Critical Race Theory

October 27, 2021 Skip

The question goes to the heart of the faith which has animated liberal thought toward race since long before it was formalized in the New York Times’ 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory—a belief not just that America has sins, or was imperfect, but that America was and is uniquely sinful and worse than everyone else.

Quick Takes – Hat Trick

October 8, 2021October 8, 2021 NITZAKHON

Within I pick three topics upon which to discourse, but not worth a full-length examination as a standalone piece on their own. But first, reprising an older cartoon (for shameless self-promotion!):

If You Insist on Erasing Historical Racism in America… The Democrat Party Has to go!

September 18, 2021 Steve MacDonald

This is not the first time we’ve suggested this but a recent piece at Ace of Spades invited us to revisit it. From statues to names of buildings, to anything historically connected to slavery, the Left has obsessed with erasing it.

Some Thoughts on Constitution Day

September 18, 2021 Op-Ed

[Yesterday was] Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

Not a federal holiday, Constitution Day goes largely ignored because the government created on this date has opted over the centuries not to celebrate the anniversary of its own birth.

Quick Thought – Why Is It Only Democrats That Are Obsessed with Skin Color?

September 18, 2021September 18, 2021 Skip

Oh, that’s RIGHT! It really isn’t about skin color at all. They may say it. They may try to make you believe them. But they lie. They certainly have made it clear that it SEEMS to be that:

Millionaire Race-Baiter Barry Obama is Descended from Slave Owners

September 16, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Barry Obama, 44th President of the United States, is your a-typical leftist race-baiter. He ruined race relations in America and got rich off of it. He lives without fear of his “rising seas” in a palatial sea-side summer retreat. Is it any surprise he is descended from slave owners?

Quick Thought: Making the Black Live Matters Narrative “Go South”

August 10, 2021 Skip

I read this aloud on the Live with the Liz radio show because it spoils the Narrative of both the Blame-America-Firsters and Black Lives Matter.

The Truth About “Critical Race Theory”

August 7, 2021August 6, 2021 Op-Ed

Nearly six decades ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. fought for a better world, imploring us to judge others by “the content of their character.” He offered a vision of an America that united people across racial, political, and economic lines—a vision that we can all believe in.

The Call to Teach More about Slavery and Racism May Have Merit.

July 20, 2021 Ann Marie Banfield

Supporters and opponents of Critical Race Theory (CRT) debate the merits of teaching more about racism and slavery in schools. Some supporters of CRT have said, “opponents of CRT want our history white-washed.” They imply that some of what is taught in history is a lie.

“My 9-Year Old Asked Me ‘If Slavery Was Her Fault’…”

July 7, 2021 Ann Marie Banfield

As a parental rights advocate in New Hampshire, I’m hearing from parents and teachers across this state who are extremely bothered by the radicalization going on in their local public schools. Critical Race Theory teaches children, and even adults, that they are essentially part of two groups of people.

A Response to My Post on Robert Azzi’s screed in the Union Leader

June 23, 2021 Skip

This is from Robert Malaby, commenting on the post, “Is the Nackey Loeb School Ruing the Day It Gave Robert Azzi its First Amendment Award?” “What a repulsive piece from Mr. Azzi. Too many items to take issue with in a random internet comment, but two I feel compelled to address.”

It is extraordinary how easily people in the West embraced authoritarian lockdown measures. Governments must have been shocked how little resistance there was to their new laws.

Notable Quote – Slavery Laws finally met the Law of Economics

February 21, 2021February 21, 2021 Skip
