I don’t disagree with the contents of this article, but it is hardly the case that education was unbiased before social justice crusaders took it over. Educational institutions used to teach the American civil religion. Now they teach the social justice religion, that’s all. By David Randall, Kevin […]
Political ideologies are the modern version of religions, and all of these groups want a sectarian theocracy of their own. Modern Americans/Westerners will ridicule the religious crusaders of the early modern period or today’s Middle East as unenlightened dolts, completely oblivious that they’re doing the same thing in […]

And let’s not forget the centuries-long myriad of crimes carried […]

I’m for building all third parties as a means of fragmenting the system, but this sounds like wishful thinking. In this clip from our interview with Margaret Kimberley, we discuss third parties like the Green Party, and how they can potentially become more successful in the future.
