American Thinker: America Is Gone
Please read this article. I don't know if you will agree with this dark assessment, but I found I did more than I wanted to.

Biting the Hand That Feeds

  What should be providing me with innumerable chances to laugh my ass off in fits of apoplectic irony, is instead another worrying sign that political correctness has run amok. In the past few months the bastions of elite liberalism, eschonced in the ivory towers of "do what I say, not as i do", have been under assault by disgruntled students waging a search and destroy mission throughout campuses nation wide, looking for racism, real or exaggerated. Finding "evidence" elicits cries of outrage and demands that the faculty and administration of the school crucify themselves to appease the angry mob. While I refuse to shed a tear for these martyrs to multiculturalism,  I can't help but grow concerned thinking of what these mindless protestors will do once they finish purging academia in their great Putsch?

Romans called this cycle a saeculum and it usually lasted as long as a human lifetime (i.e. 60 to 80 years). From this Latin word, w...

This will just be a brief continuum from my previous post, with the still centering on experts as propagandists. I was in my local library the other day and came across a surprisingly refreshing book on the subject I had lightly expounded upon the other day. The book is called "Delusions in Science and Spirituality: The Fall of the Standard Model and the Rise of Knowledge from Unseen Worlds" and was penned by Susan B. Martinez, Ph.D. In the very beginning of her book, Martinez lays right into the dangers of the rigid grand orthodoxy plaguing the scientific and technical community. Martinez uses the term "fundamental farces", originally uttered by another scientist, to refer to this collective ignorance of the truth involving everything from "evolution, ice ages, global warming, and so on". One interesting thing that Martinez points out regarding the surge in ignorant "experts" is overspecialization. This term refers to the absurdly particul...
