Is Truth Irrelevant?

by Dr Thomas Sowell: It is amazing how many people seem to have discovered last Wednesday that riots are wrong — when many of those same people apparently had not noticed that when riots went on, for weeks or even months, in various cities across the country last year. For too many people, especially in the media, what is right and wrong, true or false, depends on who it helps or hurts politically. Too many media people who are supposed to be reporters act as if they are combatants in...

Are Reparations for Slavery the Right Way to go?

by David Virtue, Virtueonline: The Maryland diocese of the Episcopal Church is seeking $1 million from its wealthier parishes to make reparations for slavery and systemic racism in order to create a seed fund for programs that would benefit the African American community in Baltimore and beyond.

Abortion as a Positive Good: How the Abortion Movement Echoes Radical Slavery Rhetoric

by Miles Smith, Public Discourse: Like John C. Calhoun, who famously embraced slavery as a “positive good,” the abortion movement of 2016 has shifted from seeing abortion as a “necessary evil” to celebrating it as good for women and society. In February 1837, South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun changed the tone of the cultural, religious, political, and social war over slavery by declaring human bondage a “positive good.” Most members of the generation of Americans who created the United...

by Chris McGovern, The Conservative Woman: HOUSESTEADS Roman Fort and its adjoining section of Hadrian’s Wall are missing from the National Trust’s list of its properties linked to colonialism and slavery. No other monument in the British Isles, though, is a more potent statement of imperial enslavement. Why, then, does it fail to make the cut?

‘It’s Not a Reformation, It’s a Revolution’

by Tony Perkins, FRC: When the citizens are marching in the streets with guns to protect their property, we’ve got a big problem. Lawlessness is breaking out around the country — Seattle, Portland, even Washington, D.C. Roving bands are hounding diners at restaurants if they won’t salute Black Lives Matter. Some cities allowed burning, looting, and nightly violence to continue. In D.C., an official group, which answers to the mayor, issued the following recommendation:...

BBC ‘Songs of Praise’ producer compares ‘Rule, Britannia!’ to the Holocaust

by Archbishop Cranmer: There has been much stuff and nonsense written about the ‘Last Night of the Proms’ and the BBC’s decision to offer only orchestrated versions of ‘Rule, Britannia!’ and ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ this year, but nothing, absolutely nothing beats the contribution from Catriona Lewis, Executive Producer of ‘Songs of Praise’, who thinks that singing ‘Rule, Britannia!’ is akin to Nazis celebrating the Holocaust. Her meaning is rather confused and confusing: “I believe slavery...
