Nowhere to Hide
As an undergraduate, I learned early in my college career that I would hate almost any humanities class I took. Sitting through the lies of political correctness, in an environment where the only conservative event I ever saw was “Islamo-fascist awareness week,” was too much for this talkative, energetic, opinionated young man. I innocently signed [...]
A Review of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
Few Jewish radicals have had as much influence over American politics as Saul Alinsky (1909-1972). Born to Russian Jewish immigrants, he graduated from the University of Chicago and then went on to become a community organizer, being one of the first to bring radical politics to Chicago’s Black ghettos. Hilary Clinton wrote her senior thesis [...]
This Is Ridiculous: A Review of Game Change
A little explored area of human nature is our fascination with celebrities. In the checkout line at the grocery store you will find People and the National Enquirer in front of you, both magazines having been put there so that the consumer will splurge on one before he leaves. Humans want to know every detail [...]
The Trappings of Right Wing Culturalism
In his book We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism, John Derbyshire lists three ways of looking at the world, making clear his preferences are with the third: religion, culturalism, and biologism. The religious viewpoint posits that mankind and what happens to it are the product of divine will. Culturalism proposes that differences between human groups [...]
A review of Norman Finkelstein’s The Holocaust Industry
If you’re like me and have been through the American education system, you as a child may have never learned a word of Greek or Latin, the history of the Bible or been assigned to read a work by a great philosopher. You probably do remember, however, learning about Martin Luther King, the Klan and [...]
The Goddess of Implicit Whiteness: A Review of Going Rogue
The Sailer worldview: Sarah Palin’s intelligence = blank slate Every other person in the entire world’s intelligence: biologically determined. -Anonymous commentator at Steve Sailer’s blog It has been suggested that Sarah Palin is a sort of Rorschach test for Americans. The attractive, religious and fertile White woman drove the ugly, secular and barren White self-hating [...]
Unequal Genes: A Review of Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life
Going through a humanities program at an American university, I learned that the evidence for hereditarianism isn’t so much argued against as it is ignored. For example, a class would be given a paper to read on case studies of how words are used in middle-class and lower-class homes, and then the direct link would [...]
Sir Francis Galton: The Father of Eugenics, Part 2
Sir Francis Galton first brought his concerns about the future of humanity to the public in an 1865 two-part article in MacMillan’s Magazine entitled “Hereditary Character and Talent.” Part one begins by simply making many of the points and presenting the data that would be expanded and elaborated on a few years later in Hereditary [...]
Review of Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry into its Laws and Consequences
Folk knowledge that “like breeds like” and theories on heredity have been around since at least the time of Plato. People have tended to notice that children look and behave like their parents. It was only after the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species that the question of where contemporary breeding [...]
End Affirmative Action, End the Black Upper Class: The Case of Law
It was with great interest that I read Christopher Donovan’s TOO article on politically incorrect comments at a blog for the lawyerly elite. The field of law prides itself on being a meritocracy. Being made up of educated Westerners, it is also very liberal on racial issues. It’s hard to be both. The two main [...]
Holocaust Deniers, Nazis, and Klansmen, Oh My! How the MSM Deals with Uncomfortable Questions
Not too long ago I ran across the headline “Ahmadinejad Proud of Holocaust Denial.” Sounds like a bad guy, doesn’t he? He stoked the fires ahead of the visit with new comments casting doubt on the Holocaust. Asked about widespread condemnation of such remarks, Ahmadinejad said Monday: “The anger of the world’s professional killers is [...]
What’s Behind the Multicultural Freak Show
Western man towers over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It’s Western exploration, science, and conquest that have reveled the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared. The charge of racism puzzles whites who feel [...]
Hollywood’s Reach — and Limits
When a set of beliefs becomes a society’s accepted morality, portrayals of good and evil often take stock forms. I’m younger than the majority of people who will read this, but even I am shocked with how much multiculturalism has replaced the old Ten Commandments morality as the basis of what it’s necessary to believe [...]

Was the Immigration Act of 1924 Illiberal?
