Founded In Liberty, America Is Now Mired In Tyranny
by Richard Larsen. “The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an Epoch when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined, than at any former period…The United States came into existence as a Nation, and if their Citizens should not be completely free and happy, the fault ... MORESome Americans Refuse To Give Up On Confederate Flag
by Mark Scolforo. A symbol of rebellion to some. Many Americans assumed the Confederate flag was retired for good after governors in South Carolina and Alabama removed it from their statehouses this summer and presidential candidates from both parties declared it too divisive for official display. But people still fly it, and not just in the South. ... MOREWalter E Williams: Historical Ignorance II - The Real Lincoln
We call the war of 1861 the Civil War. But is that right? A civil war
is a struggle between two or more entities trying to take over the
central government. Confederate President Jefferson Davis no more sought
to take over Washington, D.C., than George Washington sought to take
over London in 1776. Both wars, those of 1776 and 1861, ... MOREMaria Boynton: Atlanta NAACP Says “They Can Sand Blast Lee, Jefferson Davis, And Jackson” Off Stone Mountain
Ethnic grievance industry pushes for history rewrite. The Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP is calling for the removal of the Confederacy from Stone Mountain Park. Local chapter president Richard Rose says, “It is time for Georgia and other Southern states to end the glorification of slavery and white supremacy, paid for and maintained, with ... MOREThomas Sowell: Is The Civil War Over?
Ethnic grievance industry focused on the past. In the wake of the recent murders in a South Carolina church, the killer's hope of igniting a race war produced the opposite effect. Blacks and whites in South Carolina came together to condemn his act and the race hate behind it. Some saw in the decision to remove the Confederate flag from ... MOREThomas Sowell: Looking Back
Discovering what is important. After my 85th birthday last week, I looked back over my life and was surprised to discover in how many different ways I had been lucky, in addition to some other ways in which I was unlucky. Among the things I did not know at the time was that I was adopted as an infant into a family with four adults, in which I was ... MOREVIDEO: Quiz - Why Are We Celebrating Independence Day?
A commentary on democracy that explains why we have the government we do.
Supremes: From 'Divine Nine' To Political Hacks
by Barry Farber. 5 STARS! One of Hollywood’s most horrible scenes has just come true on Page 1. In “The Counterfeit Traitor,” Lilli Palmer played a German woman who recognized Hitler was a monster and fed information to Allied intelligence on which oil refineries should be bombed next; she worked with the title character, played by ... MOREWesley Pruden: Ethnic Ceansing Of The American South
The South is the new China. Southerners, like the Chinese, revere the past, worship their ancestors (and their flags), and eat a lot of rice. William Faulkner observed that the past is not dead, because it is not even past. He applied that sentiment only to Southerners, but if he had been among us over the past fortnight he would have revised it to ... MORE7 Bad Laws Undone By Good Jurors
A proud tradition of doing right when the law is wrong. What is Jury Nullification? You won’t find it defined in your dictionary or described in your encyclopedia. You weren’t taught about it in school, and indeed it is even considered a crime to tell other people about it in some circumstances. Imagine that for a moment – it is a crime to ... MOREBarry Farber: ISIS Vs. 'Climate Change'
Contemplating America's perceived enemies. How much can you blame a liar when his audience is too ignorant to follow his tongue? Oh, how the New York kiddies loved Uncle Don, the deeply beloved children’s radio star! One day, as his show was ending and the happy theme music was playing, Uncle Don reminded his loyal, sweet ... MOREWhat Would James Madison Do? New Book By Charles Murray Tells Citizens How To Fight Government Tyranny
by Jay Cost. Charles Murray’s By the People: Rebuilding Liberty without Permission is an important book that advocates of constitutional government should consider carefully. While Murray overstates the case, his book articulates a novel argument, replete with insights on the nature of political corruption and how to fight it. Murray’s book ... MOREThomas Sowell: Race, Politics and Lies
Behavior matters and so do facts. Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri — but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by ...
