Think Twice Before You Bend

By

I just accidentally ran across a FB post in which trans-gendering is justified by the claim that the word “man” once referred to humans of either sex and “she” was not invented until the 13th century. These people are wonderfully creative, almost as creative as the average priest or minister who lies his way through the Scriptures and the Creeds.   I don’t suppose I have to point out to any of my readers that different languages express natural distinctions in a variety of ways. That distinctions of tense, for example, are in some Indo-European languages, no more significant than...

Homer Against the Iconoclasts

By

This is the opening lecture of the Fleming Foundation’s 2020 Seminar on Homer–held in the teeth of a government shutdown on the freedoms of speech and assembly and of the political correctness being imposed by mob rule and insurrection. Thomas Fleming provides an overview of the Greek reverence for religious and national symbols and contrasts the piety and respectfulness of the ancient Greeks with the irrational and hate-inspired vandalism of contemporary America.

This lecture is offered gratis to subscribers. All the lectures will be on sale in a short time.

Free Ghislaine Maxwell

By

The FBI’s arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell has been applauded nearly everywhere.  It is one thing on which the phony left and the phony right can agree.  Jeffrey Epstein was the devil, and Ms Maxwell was his madame.

Slavery and the Black Family

By

Here in America, white and black children often are taught to call a family friend aunty or uncle, while in the South some form of Maum/Mom was often used by polite white children to show respect for an elderly black woman.  Kindness and good manners are not racist

Whining the Time Away

By

I too get as disgusted with my Irish-American relatives for their whining as I am tired of every other race and ethnicity whining about its problems. I once met a Hungarian pastor who piously told me–this was in Zagreb–that although everyone else in the Balkans had beaten up on some other group, the Hungarians were entirely free of imperialism. He was counting on my ignorance of Balkan history.

Unmasking Lincoln, Part Three: Christophobe, Bigot, and Capitalist Stooge

By

Lincoln’s admirers have said that he was motivated by a commitment to equality and a respect for African American slaves.  The unpalatable truth is that  Lincoln’s racial attitudes are closer to those of the KKK than to those of the NAACP.  As early as 1837 Lincoln argued that “The Congress of the United States has no power under the Constitution, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the different states.”  His Emancipation Proclamation was a strictly political act designed to appeal to European liberals.  In fact, it only applied to slaves outside Lincoln’s jurisdiction, not to slaves held in...

Mark Levin, a True Conservative

By

What, it can’t be!  Mark Levin having something nice to say about Confederate war heroes?  Not at all.  What a relief, when he explained that the Democratic Party was the party of evil, the party of slavery, and thank the almighty for the Union heroes who crushed the Southern Democrats, whose children would go on to join the clan, impose Jim Crow, and Lynch completely innocent black  men.
