The Fatal Fallacies and Foibles of Race: A Review of Intellectuals and Race by Thomas Sowell
With the calm, objective, and nearly disinterested panache he is noted for, in Intellectuals and Race* Thomas Sowell dissects a broad range of fallacies that have surrounded the touchy and often contentious subject of race. In this latest volume he doesn’t miss a trick, and covers as succinctly as possible the whole gamut of why [...]
The Education of Robert Mueller
Imagine for a moment that I have been elected a U.S. Senator for the state of Virginia, replacing one of the two roll-with-the-punches Democrats who vote the straight Party line, and I am on the Senate Judiciary Committee which is holding a special hearing on the reported misconduct of FBI Director Robert Mueller over a [...]
Kill Bill Killian’s Assault on Freedom of Speech
As I noted in my last column, “The Stinking Badges of Our Federales” (June 2nd), the Department of Justice is again on the attack against freedom of speech. The occasion for this guerilla attack is a talk to be given by United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee Bill Killian during an event [...]

Some time ago speculation ran through the Mainstream Media and the Internet about which “playbook” the Obama administration has been following in terms of its domestic and international policies. Was it George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, or Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged? The consensus came down for Atlas Shrugged, a novel whose villains seemed to have enjoyed [...]
“Mad Men”: The Left’s Hidden Persuader
One question about the creators of “entertainment” such as “Mad Men” which I have never seen asked by other critics is: Why are they stuck in that particular creative rut? Why are stories that are pro-individualism, pro-happiness, and pro-freedom impossible to them to conceive of and develop?
‘Mad Men’: Villains, Victims, and Lies
Literary naturalism cannot tolerate heroes. There are no heroes in AMC’s Mad Men; virtually all the characters are manipulative, dishonest, repressed, or blindly avaricious frauds. If a character isn’t a villain, then he is a victim of the villains.
Boston: The MSM’s Exploded “Journalism”
What is this column about? It is about the price paid for evasion of the knowledge, the evasion of the identify of our enemy, which is Islam.
