When once a certain class of people has been placed by temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder. —Simone Weil To the great sweeps of history, there is always a witness with eyes and a heart committed to the truth,[…]
The character of the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland has its origin in the fact that in the 1800s hat makers used mercury nitrate in the transforming of animal furs into felt hats. Eventually it became observed that hat makers exhibited mental and physical instability. “Mad as a hatter” was an expression[…]
For more than a century now, the international communist movement has been hiding and sanitizing its own history while subjecting its opponents to relentless slander. Its ultimate goal has never changed — to communize the entire world by radically overturning the social order and foundations of Christian civilization and supplanting it with communism’s false religion.[…]
Robert Heron Bork (1927 –2012) was a judge and law professor who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to the Supreme Court in 1987. Reagan’s motive for nominating Bork was clear-cut.

As his biographer Peter Ackroyd points out, while a student at Harvard University studying[…]

And without Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government bothering to make a compelling case for why it is legalizing a drug with[…]
