”Much of what you say cannot be rebutted. Nevertheless, I find your words a bit too harsh . . . ” Professor Lawrence C. Mann, Director of the Damon J. Keith Law Collection of African American Legal History, Wayne State Law School Dear Ms. Kimberly Hayes Taylor: This letter is in regard to your article […]
Professor Leonard McCoy is a faculty member at Savannah State University, a historical black college/university (HBCU) in Georgia. He is also an emergent scholar, a brilliant critical thinker and one of the most dispassionate, logical-minded men I’ve ever met. During my short tenure at SSU (2008-09) professor McCoy and I put on eight symposiums and […]
This rational view of election law under a constitutional paradigm is not a new concern for those who advocate real and tougher campaign finance disclosure laws. The battle has been ongoing for almost a century now.5 Take the case, Citizens Against Rent Control v. City of Berkeley, the Court held: “The integrity of the political system will be adequately protected if contributors are identified in a public filing revealing the amounts contributed; if it is thought wise, legislation can outlaw anonymous contributions.” 6 This is a clear, unmistakable utterance of ‘black letter law’ from the Supreme Court. Yet, in the area of campaign finance disclosure laws, its pronouncements are largely ignored, unenforced and with any authority and influence.
Leading conservative intellectual and my fellow WND colleague, Ann Coulter, has done it again, writing yet another No. 1 New York Times best-selling book, “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America.”In this outstanding book, Coulter uses the enduring idée fixe that “Democrats are heirs to the French Revolution, the uprising of a mob. Conservatives […]
Property, brains and character will settle the question of civil rights. ~ Booker T. Washington Prologue In a recent correspondence to a young protégée, Marcus Williams, who is a member of Antioch C.O.G.I.C., a wonderful black church in Detroit which in my youth helped shape my character in many profound ways, I took the occasion […]
What are the logical comparisons and consequences we can understand between the economic, moral and intellectual devolution of Germany under the Weimar Republic that ushered in the National Socialism of Adolf Hitler and a post-Ronald Reagan America (since 1990), that continued the Democratic socialism of Wilson, FDR and LBJ, which eventually ushered in the Age […]
The world is a dangerous place to live not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it. ~ Albert Einstein Einstein’s aphorism above in an utterly singular manner extrapolates why professor Allan Bloom had to write his magnum opus, “The Closing of the American Mind,” […]
Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Algeria, Yemen, Bahrain, and now widespread protests are breaking out all over Iran where the people are in a state of siege over the 32 year theocratic dictatorship under the Mullahs. The Iranian people have renewed their rage against the current despotic leadership, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud […]
For Bloom, the moral vacuum created by liberalism inside the souls of Americans was filled by demagogic radicals in the ’60s similar to the Nazi Brownshirts who in the ’20s and ’30s filled the breach created in German society by the Weimar Republic. Bloom further argued that liberal values of philosophy and reason understood as […]
Despite the past two and a half years America has been run by a president who is in every respect a socialist with communist tendencies, the pathetic GOP cannot effectively mount a first-tier candidate to seriously challenge this diminutive Marxist professor. Why? Because for 40 years the GOP has used the rhetoric of conservative Ronald […]
“The corruption, crime, and incompetence of the D.C. government has been an embarrassment to our nation’s capital for decades. It is long past time that Congress restored the honor and integrity of George Washington to the beautiful city which bears his name.” ~ Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), speaking on the BOWSER Act “It is […]

The Keep Nine Amendment: A Permanent Solution to Threats of Court-Packing
“I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court. If anything would make the court appear more partisan, it would be that. So, I am not at all in favor of that solution. Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a […]
