On Martin Luther King Day–and every day–we should focus on the proper antidote to racism and the proper alternative to racial thinking: individualism.

July Fourth Celebrates America's and the West's Core Values
Why should we celebrate the Fourth of July? Because America — as the greatest product of Western civilization — is the greatest country in the world. But it cannot remain great unless we understand the causes of its greatness. In this age of diversity-worship, it is considered axiomatic that all cultures and countries are equal. [...]
Giving Real Meaning to Veterans Day
Veterans Day arouses three emotions in most Americans: solemnity, because it celebrates the veterans who have defended our great country; sadness, because so many have lost their lives in the process; and pride, because they have fought so well. The supreme value that our veterans have fought and died for (with some tragic exceptions) from [...]
The Only Cure for Racism
If diversity is the cure for racism, why, instead of promoting racial harmony, has it brought racial division and conflict? It is now taken as a virtual axiom that the way to cure racism is through the promulgation of racial and ethnic diversity within corporations, universities, government agencies and other institutions. The diversity movement has [...]
Mao: The Unknown Story
I just finished reading: Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, Knopf, 2005. I do not necessarily recommend this book–not because it is bad–but because the content is so disgusting (though factual). Mao is clearly the worst monster in world history. Like Hitler and Stalin he was a power-luster and wanted to [...]

A Message to Graduating Students
An imaginary letter from parents intensely concerned about the fundamental ideas their children, who are about to graduate from college, have been taught. Dear John and Sue: First, we want to congratulate you on receiving your degrees. We know that you both worked very hard over the past four years. Second, there are some dangers [...]
The Greatness of Western Civilization
In this age of diversity-worship, it is considered virtually axiomatic that all cultures are equal. Western culture, claim the intellectuals, is in no way superior to that of African tribalists or Eskimo seal hunters. There are no objective standards, they say, that can be used to evaluate the moral stature of different groups. They assert [...]
On Flag Day Celebrate America’s Core Values: Reason and Individual Rights
Not since the Revolutionary War has America faced a greater threat to its existence than it does today. A worldwide network of terrorists is bent on destroying us and everything we value. All the more reason to make clear on Flag Day the principles for which we stand. In this age of diversity-worship, it is [...]
Tax Injustice Day: Altruism vs. Americanism
On Tax Day consider some basic facts. The wealthiest 1% of the taxpayers pay 34% of all federal income taxes. The top 50% pay 96% of the total bill. This means that the least wealthy 50% pay almost nothing. In short, the income tax system soaks the rich. In the name of justice, the President, [...]
