"Arguments, whether political or philosophical, are like ammunition – you should stock up on them before the trouble starts."

That is what I told a friend of mine when he expressed surprise at my idea of writing a review for a book now almost two decades old. The friend in question is rarely impressed with my little aphorisms, so I spelled it out in more concrete terms. 

Wayne LaPierre wrote Guns, Crime, and Freedom in 1994 when the country was quite divided on countless issues: immigration, gun control, gays, a new era of foreign policy, and a Democratic president who had come out of nowhere. Sounds familiar?

THE REAL WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY

by Bay Area Guy

A common tactic employed by leftists is to accuse their enemies of being on “the wrong side of history.” When I toured UC Santa Cruz around 9 years ago, I recall seeing a mural juxtaposing old school Jim Crow bigotry with current conservative hostility towards homosexual marriage. The image must have caught on, because I could easily find it online.

WHY AMERICA SHOULD INVADE MEXICO AND POSSIBLY ONE OR TWO OTHER COUNTRIES

Each White baby delays the utopia of true diversity.

by Libby Tard (guest liberal)

Vice President Joe Biden (pictured above, on the right) has been sharing his wisdom with the nation again. At a recent State Department luncheon for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, he opined:

"By 2017, those of us of European stock," Biden said "will be an absolute minority in the United States of America." That's "not a bad thing, that's a good thing," he added, because it means the U.S. is expanding the diversity of its people."

He has cheered the end of the white, European majority before. Last December, while in Morocco, he said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in 2017, the United States for the first time, Caucasians of European descent like me will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America. The secret that people don't know is our diversity is the reason for our incredible strength."

OK, narrow-minded hate-mongers are going critique the guy's math skills (which already show interesting elements of diversity) because, according to old-dead-White-guy science, Whites are not scheduled to be a US minority until 2044.

PAPER TIGER

by Colin Liddell

Following last year's multiple sex scandal, Tiger Woods has now finally come out and apologized in what looked like a heavily scripted and intensely rehearsed performance before a select audience of sympathetic friends and media for the benefit of his corporate advertising profile. After all that has happened, it will certainly be an uphill struggle to re-launch the golfer's shattered career and image, and save his marriage.

While the lurid details of this scandal have held a fleeting interest for the general public, this case is worthy of more serious consideration because it reveals a great deal about the shortcomings and contradictions of the multicultural globalism that we are opposed to.
