  • Why is the left vested in racism?

    Instead of seeking truth, the question an indoctrinated leftist asks, ''Am I offended?'' Economic variability across ''race'' is the major offence. Being offended makes the leftist a ''victim.'' Once the leftist has declared himself, herself or someone else a victim, then through Marxist reasoning, a victim can disregard rational thought and ...

  • My Samoan Mother Does Not Need Affirmative Action

    An AA surgeon, who got into medical school with lower aptitude, grades, test scores and abilities, should operate on my Samoan mother, even though there are better-qualified physicians! Besides your Native grandmother makes you a bigger victim than me with a Mexican (Aztec) mother, so you need AA more. However, I am especially needy, because my ...

  • Obama's Reparations

    Lately, I have been having conversations about a topic of profound significance to me. Essentially, I believe that if (probably when) Obama becomes president, as the masterful communicator that he is, he will be able to bring the issue of reparations for slavery into the national consciousness. For too long the issue of reparations has been ...

  • Money doesn't buy happiness or love.

    A country founded by people who were persecuted, and we still are biased, bigoted, racists, anti-Semitic, hostile, angry, arrogant and blind to the person next to us and the world, because it was believed we could buy our way out. Since I was a child, all I heard was Americans were the lowest savers in the free world! We still are, and fighting ...

  • Re: Infinityplus

    Yes, I would say this is a feasible idea, and I'm sure it occurs. There are theories that ADHD was actually adaptive not too long ago in our history, but in a day and age that increasingly values sedentary, persistent work over energy and attending to many items at once, it is increasingly becoming ill-adaptive. Saletan actually addressed the ...

  • the Rilo Kiley example

    great article. this section reminded of the furor now enveloping the community of Rilo Kiley fans upon the release of their new, dance-oriented album: (contemporary idie rock)... is the music of young ''knowledge workers'' in training, and that has sonic consequences: Rather than body-centered, it is bookish and nerdy; rather than being ...

  • Does Wes Anderson have a right to exist?

    Mr. Weiner has decided he should assault Wes Anderson as an ''obnoxious'' preppie on the basis of his race, and his cultural identity alone. This criticism stands outside his later criticism of Anderson's films. It's ad hominem. It's aimed square at who Anderson is. What I want to know is why Anderson's person and ouvre exists in a ...
