Yet, after soundly defeating three African American candidates in the primary, there woul

“Alternative perspectives should be sought not as alternative truths but as enrichers of truth.” – A Short History of Truth “The science is settled”, or so say the environmental activists sick of skepticism from those outside their ideological bubble.

“Men have been taught that the highest virtue is not to achieve, but to give. Yet one cannot give that which has not been created. Creation comes before distribution - or there will be nothing to distribute. The need of the creator comes before the need of any possible beneficiary.

“To think of some people as simply being higher achievers than others, for whatever reason, is a threat to today's prevailing vision, for it implicitly places the onus on the lagging group to achieve more, and, perhaps more important, deprives the intelligentsia of their role of fighting on the side of the angels against the forces of evil.” – Intellectuals and Race Ready or not, the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers' union in the country, recently ap

“The black flag comes in many colors.” – The Anarchist Handbook In 1995, a rental truck laced with explosives detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, causing one of the worst cases of domestic terrorism in American history.
