Happy 4th of July.

on July 4th, 2012 by admin

I realized my last post was very negative.  In light of the Supreme Court’s unwillingness to uphold our freedom, I’m very concerned about the future of our country.  So rather than leave things on a negative footing, I have linked an article celebrating our nation’s success.  Via Gus Van Horn, this article written by Objectivist […]

The United States Is No Longer A Free Country.

on July 3rd, 2012 by admin

No one should be surprised by the Supreme Court decision upholding the dishonestly named Affordable Care Act.  Add this case to the long list of cases such as Dred Scott v Sanford and Plessy v Ferguson, as a negative turning point in American history.  The issue at hand was whether Congress had the authority, under the Commerce Clause […]

A Graphic Novel I Like!

on June 5th, 2012 by admin

I have never been a fan of comic books or graphic novels.  My opinion has changed somewhat after reading an interesting graphic novel by Bosch Fawstin.  Called Table For One, it’s about a man and his experience as a waiter at his family’s restaurant.  The cast of characters are interesting and reminds me of some of the […]

The Power Of Books.

on May 3rd, 2012 by admin

Via American Thinker, I came across an article about a controversy that occurred earlier this year.  A young girl named Jada Williams, a student in the Rochester Public School system, was inspired by an assignment to read Frederick Douglass’ autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, to write an essay indicting […]

The Ivy League Support Of Fascism.

on March 22nd, 2012 by admin

I just finished reading a disturbing book about the Ivy League of information I knew nothing about.  This is a story I suspect has been conveniently hidden from the American public.  During the 1930’s, at the start of Nazi regime, American universities actively supported the regime.  The book that exposes this shameful spectacle is called The Third […]

Richard Wright’s American Hunger.

on March 22nd, 2012 by admin

Richard Wright wrote a sequel to his seminal autobiography Black Boy.  Wright had intended American Hunger to be published in conjunction with Black Boy.  It was published separately in 1977.  I was introduced to Wright in my early teens, but American Hunger escaped my radar.  This was a painful book to read.  Wright was desperately […]

The Atlas Shrugged Movie.

on January 17th, 2012 by admin

I finally got the chance to watch the Atlas Shrugged movie.  Since I rented it through Netflix I was able to view the film multiple times.  I’ve done a review of the book a few years ago.  This was during the time the Tea Party movement was gaining momentum.  References to Atlas Shrugged and “Going […]
