Over the weekend I brought the family back home to Chicago for Mother's Day. My aunt (mom's sister), her husband, and my cousins dropped by my parents' house for the barbeque. While eating, one of my cousins let his opinion be known about "Neocons." Last year my friend, his wife, and I were talking and somehow Pat Buchanan's book The Death of the West came up. She then went on a tirade about "Neocons" and how they hate Mexicans. I've heard Donald Rumsfeld being chastised for b...

This article was written for the 2002 Games of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Utah's Not Diverse - It's Weird! By Steve Sailer In the U.S. these days, everyone talks about "diversity," but no one seems to do any thinking about it. "Celebrating diversity" has become our civic religion, but few seem to understand that there are two opposing kinds of diversity. Consider the logical knots the press ties itself into over the state of Utah. Salt Lake City's sta...

Plain English Word Finder Plain-English Word Finder by Karl Jahn I love the English language with a twofold appreciation, as an amateur linguist and prose writer. Each avocation heightens one's awareness of language as such and of one's own language in particular. This awareness enriches one's life by the beauty of which the language is capable, when well-used; on the other hand, one is also more sensitive to its ugliness when ill-used. One class of irritant results from ignor...

When did racism become the greatest crime known to man? Apparently these days, thoughts (usually perceived thoughts) are far worse than actual deeds that make a morally despicable act despicable. People such as race pimps and guilty white liberals don't care much about a crime, that is unless it can be protrayed as a "hate crime," like when the perpetrators happen not be from a certified minority group and the victims do. To these people, racism is not the irrational hatred of people f...

Link SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the FBI, trying to get more information about the agency's questioning of Muslims and Arabs as it investigates the possibility of pre-election terror attacks. The ACLU suit, filed Thursday, is seeking internal documents under the Freedom of Information Act to find out whether the government is protecting the constitutional rights of the subjects of its unannounced interviews at homes, workplaces and mo...

Whenever the oddly controversial topic of Islam and terrorism comes up, Moslem apologists are quick to point out that not all Moslems are terrorists, and not all terrorists are Moslems. Big revelation there. Why is this point even argued anymore? Any rational person involved in the discussion already knows this, in his head and in his heart. Anyone who doesn't understand this is not worthy of inclusion in this discussion. But few people ever stop to consider the widespread nature of ...

Link DON'T PERVERT HISTORY: JIHAD IS JIHAD by Dr. Walid Phares Many intellectuals and politicians within the Muslim world often attempt to stretch the meaning of historical concepts and manipulate them in order to cope with current political situations, or as a way to polish their political agendas. Peace and Jihad in Islam are two of the most popular concepts redefined by twentieth-century political writers. In an article published by the Palestine Times (August issue) enti...

With the information raised in the Duelfer Report, activists on the left have apparently jumped on the president and said "Ah HA!" The report clearly states what appears to have been known for some time now: there were no massive stockpiles of weapons in Iraq. This is where the citation of the document ends. Pundits are quick to point that sanctions are the most likely reason that Saddam could not create massive amounts of botulism, sarin, VX, and anthrax. And they are right. It's har...
