Nuclear Waste Does Not Exist
Saturday, November 29th, 2008There is no such thing as nuclear waste — and that’s just one of the many beautiful things about nuclear energy.
A nuclear reactor is refueled by its waste.
Quoting Dr. Pierre Guelfe, chief engineer of France’s main nuclear facility, in an interview he recently gave with William Tucker, author of a new and excellent book [...]
Thanksgiving: the REAL history
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008In May of 1606, the first American settlers arrived in Jamestown.
The Virginia Tidewater Region, where these original 104 set up their colony, was a breathtakingly fertile chunk of land, and so it was that these first American settlers found more resources than they could at first believe: oceans teeming with seafood; the woodlands alive with [...]
Oil Shortages and Government Intervention
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Early in the 1970’s, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) — which includes Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela — imposed an oil embargo upon the United States. This precipitated a sharp decrease in U.S. oil supply.
Not to be outdone in terms of [...]
Super Duper Wal-Mart
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008I overheard two kids talking the other day. One said: “What’s Target?”
The other said: “It’s good. It’s a lot like Wal-Mart, except it’s not Super.”
Obviously, then, Wal-Mart has at last got a few sensible defenders out there — sensible, I say, because Wal-Mart is a great American institution that harkens back to our finest traditions: [...]
Rahm Emanuel and Compulsory Servitude
Thursday, November 20th, 2008As you may or may not know, an explicit statist named Rahm Emanuel is who Barack Obama has chosen to be his chief of staff.
Rahm Emanuel, just to be clear, is the same person who, in his poorly written book, penned these chilling words:
“It’s time for a real PATRIOT Act that brings out [...]
Sustainable Development, Unmasked
Monday, November 17th, 2008An angry reader writes:
Dear Sir: I’ve been asked to write this on behalf of a number of people who, for the past two months, have been reading your articles with a kind of horror. We are troubled, not because what you say doesn’t contain truth — it may or may not — but because your [...]
Water, Water Everywhere, Nor Any Drop To Drink
Saturday, November 15th, 2008The most obvious place to begin any real discussion of water is in pointing out that right now on planet earth, water in its potable form is about the most abundant resource there is.
No one even passingly acquainted with the subject seriously disputes this.
In the words of water specialist Fredrik Segerfeldt: “Water is a finite [...]
Cognitive Dissonance
Friday, November 14th, 2008In his book True Believer, the brilliant autodidact and intellectual workingman Eric Hoffer wrote the following:
“Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.”
The term cognitive dissonance, which presupposes faith above reason, was popularized (but not coined) by a social psychologist named Leon Festinger (1919-1989), in his seminal work on the subject A Theory of Cognitive [...]
Faces of Death
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Like the Old Hag, socialism has a number of different faces, none of which are very pretty, but all of which have something vital in common: the face of death.
If you find perplexing the purported distinctions between socialism, Marxism, communism, and fascism, know, first of all, that you’re not alone.
Many of today’s socialists will [...]
The Redheaded Slut of Political Theory
Saturday, November 8th, 2008Now that the people of these United States have proven beyond all reasonable doubt that, in fact, empty rhetoric can completely control their minds, it seems as good a time as any to lay out, in very fundamental terminology, what the science of economics actually is — all the more so since Barack Obama, like [...]
What the Judge Said
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Not quite six years ago, a U.S. Federal Judge named William Young sentenced convicted terrorist Richard Reid to life in prison.
For those of you who don’t remember, Richard Reid was the genius who had plastic explosives built into his shoes and who boarded an airplane with the intent of blowing everything, himself included, to smithereens. [...]
The Danger of Democracy
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008“Statues of Liberty” — oil painting by Beth Haynes
The United States is not a democracy, nor was it ever intended to be.
The United States is, as Benjamin Franklin put it, a Constitutional Republic.
The word “democracy” does not appear one time in either the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence – and for very good reasons:
Democracy [...]
More from the Marxist Side of Obama

Inspirational Quotes From Barack Obama’s Memoirs
Saturday, November 1st, 2008My grandmother was a typical white person (Barack Obama, 2008).
In 1995, Barack Obama published a book entitled Dreams From My Father — A Story of Race and Inheritance. This book is a memoir of sorts, poorly written — or, rather, ghostwritten — by Obama’s friend, the neo-Marxist terrorist William Ayers.
What follows are a few of [...]
