The Sexual 'Revolution'

Homosexuality and the Slippery Slope...

The Liberal Bigots Strike Again  (11 April 2014)
"If you support the traditional view that marriage should be between a man and a woman, could that cost you your job? The intolerant left says the answer to that question is a loud and emphatic 'Yes!'..."

Dave's Gay Pride  (31 March 2014)
"The first homosexual marriages taking place in England and Wales filled Dave with pride, or so he says..."

Marriage Died in 2013  (31 December 2013)
"More than a year ago, when states began to legalize gay [sic] marriage, I argued that polygamy would be the natural result..."

Life on GLAAD's Blacklist  (27 December 2013)
"Readers will have to forgive me for sounding angry, but the recent news involving GLAAD has enraged me..."

Politically Correct Outrage Meter  (21 December 2013)

PC, A&E, and Duck Dynasty  (20 December 2013)
"Phil Robertson is one of the family members in the hit US TV show Duck Dynasty shown on the Arts and Entertainment network. And he is now world famous because he has just been given the boot by A&E. His crime? Daring to publicly criticise homosexuality. Yep, the only crime in the West that will land you in real hot water every single time. Not even being a murderer or rapist is guaranteed to result in so much backlash as being willing to speak against the homosexual agenda..."

Paglia: Duck Dynasty Uproar 'Utterly Fascist, Utterly Stalinist'  (19 December 2013)
"The suspension of Phil Robertson from A&E's Duck Dynasty is outrageous in a nation that values freedom according to social critic and openly gay [sic], dissident feminist Camille Paglia..."

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson Tells the Truth About Homosexuality  (19 December 2013)
"In a recent interview with QC, Phil Robertson let his views on homosexuality be known. A raging firestorm has ensued against him. ... As much as Phil Robertson has just become immensely politically incorrect by daring to voice his opinions and quote the Bible about homosexuality, he is also telling the truth about today's society. That may rub the politically correct crowd the wrong way, but the truth of what he said is not diminished..."

Polypervisty  (17 December 2013)
"Ya gotta laugh. They are still sayin' it. The homosexual activists are still claiming that there is no such thing as a slippery slope, and legalising homosexual marriage will not open the door to other sexual lifestyles being recognised and legally sanctioned. Yeah right. We are well beyond arguing whether there will be a slippery slope..."

The Harms of Homosexual Adoption  (August 2013)
"Recent years have seen a campaign, by a loose coalition of secularists, liberal academics, antinatalists, and feminists, in favor of an agenda whose twin aims are the legalization of same-sex 'marriage' and the equalization of homosexual with heterosexual behavior in schools and other institutions..."

Jail for Calling Homosexuality a Sin  (10 July 2013)
"A little over a week ago [Tony Miano] went to London with the ministry group called Sports Fan Outreach International to do street preaching outside Wimbledon Tennis Championships. While doing this, he was arrested. When a woman heard Miano mention that the Bible was clear about homosexuality being a sin she cursed at him, then called the police who ... arrested him. The charge was 'using homophobic speech that could cause people anxiety, distress, alarm or insult'..."

Religious Freedom & 'Gay Marriage' Cannot Coexist  (15 April 2013)
"'Gay pride' necessitates anti-Christian hate. It must. 'Gay marriage' and other 'sexual orientation'-based laws do violence to freedom and truth. They are the hammer with which the postmodern left intends to bludgeon bloody religious liberty and the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic..."

Gay Marriage: A Case Study in Conformism  (11 April 2013)
"I have been doing or writing about political stuff for 20 years, since I was 18 years old, during which time I have got behind some pretty unpopular campaigns and kicked against some stifling consensuses. But I have never encountered an issue like gay [sic] marriage, an issue in which the space for dissent has shrunk so rapidly, and in which the consensus is not only stifling but choking..."

Why Christians May Eat Shellfish But May Not Have Sex Outside Marriage  (09 April 2013)
"An argument frequently advanced by those attempting to defend homosexual practice is that Christians 'cherry pick' the commands in the Bible - that is, they choose to emphasis some commands while ignoring others..."

Cardinal Keith O'Brien Wins Stonewall's 'Bigot of the Year' 2012  (01 November 2012)
"[The Cardinal] apparently won it for his stance on same-sex marriage, which he compared to slavery and described as 'harmful to the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing'. Let's put this into a little perspective, shall we?..."

The Gay [sic] Bullies Are Being Exposed  (24 October 2012)
"Barely 25 years ago, two gay [sic] strategists stated that it was essential to 'Portray gays [sic] as victims, not as aggressive challengers. ... In any campaign to win over the public, gays [sic] must be cast as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to assume the role of protector'..."

Nick Griffin's Tweets and Peter Tatchell's Hypocrisy  (21 October 2012)
"Peter Tatchell champions freedom of speech and freedom of expression, and this is very much to his credit..."

How Hattie's Friends Defended Paedophilia  (19 October 2012)
"Harriet Harman is calling for an independent enquiry into the Jimmy Savile scandal. A key question, she says, is why so many alleged victims felt 'they couldn't complain'. Well, one answer is that attitudes towards paedophilia in the 1970s were bizarrely relaxed ... This was the era when activists on the radical Left lobbied long and hard for changes in the law to reflect a more 'enlightened' attitude towards sex between adults and minors. But that won't be news to Hattie..."

Is It 'Homophobic' to Oppose Gay [sic] Weddings in Churches?  (19 October 2012)
"Yesterday, housing manager Adrian Smith was in court trying to recover his lost earnings because his employer demoted him and slashed his salary by 40 per cent - all because he said on Facebook that gay [sic] weddings in churches would be 'an equality too far'..."

Gay [sic] Marriage, Nazis and Fascism  (15 October 2012)
"This issue really is becoming tiresome: each day brings with it some tedious development in the inexorable quest for 'marriage equality' that the mind is pestered and plagued with the pricks of riposte..."

The War on Mothers and Fathers  (26 September 2012)
"The push for special rights for homosexuals, including marriage and adoption rights, of necessity means the destruction of motherhood and fatherhood. Gendered parenthood, as has always been understood, is the latest casualty in this ongoing assault on children, parents, marriage, family, and society by the militants..."

A New Stolen Generation  (10 August 2012)
"Children are being stolen away from the two most important people they will ever know - their own biological mother and father. When this happens by accident we rightly show pity for them and seek to get them into the closest thing to that situation. Yet when we do it deliberately we call it 'a lifestyle choice' and 'diversity' and 'tolerance'..."

Why the West is Deliberately Failing  (15 July 2012)
"The scientific method, while still used in scientific experiments in the laboratory and clinic, has long been abandoned in the persuasive arts, notably journalism, but also in politics..."

The Never-Ending War Against Christianity  (30 June 2012)
"OK, I have learned my lesson: no more writing about the 'latest' cases of anti-Christian bigotry. That's because as soon as the ink starts to dry - or rather, as soon as I have posted on article on this - it is already out of date..."

Finally Some Good News and Some Common Sense  (13 May 2012)
"We live in dark days, and good news is often hard to come by. Even harder to find - at least in the media and the public arena - is some common sense. We are plagued with political correctness and radical leftist ideology which is quite far from being sensible or rational. Thus when we get a bit of good news and mental and moral clarity - especially if appearing in the MSM - then we better shout it from the mountaintops..."

Mangling Marriage: Obama's True Colours  (10 May 2012)
"In one of the most unsurprising announcements of the decade, US President Barak Obama has come out and said he supports homosexual marriage. Why are so underwhelmed by this news?..."

Obama's Homosexual America  (10 May 2012)
"President Obama ... is our first commander in chief to openly embrace legalizing homosexual and lesbian unions. He has crossed a cultural watershed, paving the way for the eventual triumph of the homosexual agenda..."

Obama's 'Religious Left' Folly: Using the Bible to Justify Homosexual 'Marriage'  (10 May 2012)
"President Obama's embrace of homosexual 'marriage' (so-called) is surprising only in its timing..."

Let's Kill in the Name of Tolerance  (23 February 2012)
"Today if you simply speak up for heterosexual marriage, you will be the target of horrific death threats - even if you are a child. Such is the utter hatred, depravity and demonic nature of the homosexual militants. As one who has experienced a steady stream of this abuse, hatred and poison, I know what it is like - it is not pleasant. But when 14-year-olds have to put up with this, then we know that this is not just a battle of ideas or worldviews..."

Confronting the Gaystapo   (28 October 2011)
"Having forcibly - and understandably - rectified the Versailles-type injustices and humiliations foisted on the homosexual community, the UK's victorious Gaystapo are now on a roll. Their gay-rights storm troopers take no prisoners as they annex our wider culture, ... Thanks especially to the green light from a permissive New Labour government, the gay Wehrmacht is on its long march through the institutions and has already occupied the Sudetenland social uplands of the Home Office, the educational establishment, the politically-correct police, and the Guardianista management of the BBC..."

The West's Cultural Totalitarians  (31 January 2011)
"One week ago, I suggested on this page that some gay [sic] people were in danger of turning into the new McCarthyites by demonising and attempting to silence all who disagreed with the gay rights agenda..."

Britain's New McCarthyites  (24 January 2011)
"Here's a question shortly coming to an examination paper near you. What have mathematics, geography or science to do with homosexuality?  Nothing at all, you say? Zero marks for you, then..."

Defending Marriage Now Means Being 'Hateful'  (14 December 2010)   
"In the Brave New World of Political Correctness and activist lobby groups, it has now become extremely simple to silence all opposition. The radicals do not have to mount one argument, offer one shred of evidence, or make one reasonable assertion. None of that is now needed. There is a far easier and much more effective means to ensure that only your point of view is heard, and all others are ignored or rejected. Now all the militant social engineers have to do is throw the H word around. Piece of cake really..."

Even More Censorship From the 'Tolerance' Crowd  (30 November 2010)
"If some of the hardcore homosexual activists get their way, there will not be allowed anywhere in the world any oral or written word which in any way speaks contrary to the homosexual agenda. The gaystapo are pure fascists when it comes to censoring all speech which even remotely differs from their radical agenda..."

Stonewall Encourages Homosexuals to Adopt Children  (01 November 2010)
"Stonewall, a homosexual lobby group, has launched a guide for homosexual couples, offering advice on adoption, co-parenting, fostering and surrogacy. ... 'there's never been a better time for gay men to start a family'..."

Coming Soon to a Gulag Near You  (11 July 2010)
"All around the world homosexual activists are working overtime to silence any opposition, and make sure that dissenters are rounded up and rendered voiceless and powerless. If not jail time or fines, they will do their utmost to get people fired from their jobs if they dare to differ on homosexuality..."

We Show Tolerance to 'Gays' and Get Tyranny in Return  (02 February 2009)
"If I never again had to read or write a word about homosexuals, I would be very happy. I really don't want to know what other people do in their bedrooms. But these days they really, really want us all to know. And, more importantly, they insist that we approve. No longer are we allowed to keep our thoughts to ourselves, while being polite and kind. ... We cringe to the new Thought Police, like the subjects of some insane, sex-obsessed Stalinist state, compelled to wave our little rainbow flags as the 'Gay Pride' parade passes by..."

Feminism, Matriarchy, Girl 'Empowerment', 'Ladettes' / Emasculation of the Male, 'Girly-Men'

False Dawn  (26 April 2014)
"At last, a feminist of some standing has taken Britain to task for its appalling record on women's rights..."

Feminists Will be Spelling Michael Buerk's Surname Differently  (08 April 2014)
"The seasoned BBC veteran obviously feels that at this stage he has little to lose. That's the only possible explanation of why Michael Buerk broke ranks. Moreover, he practically broke the BBC Royal Charter by saying something that's sensible and, much worse, at odds with his organisation's deepest convictions..."

Broken Britain Part 1: The Brat on the 109 and the Man Who Made a Stand  (27 August 2012)
"Last week on my way back from work an expectedly mundane journey turned into anything but: the 109 I was on played host to something quite entertaining, albeit for the wrong reasons. This bus ride featured a brat, three passengers who were personally abused, a chorus of applause and a chorus of boos..."

The Teenagers Who Have Had EIGHT Abortions  (26 May 2012)
"'[H]ere we have young women, still not fully mature physiologically and emotionally, undergoing abortions numerous times. Are there no mechanisms in the system to prevent or even to flag this? Are there no checks to prevent these vulnerable women?'..."

The Net Has Given Us Lord - And Ladettes - of the Flies  (07 May 2012)
"Are girls getting meaner? ... There seems to be a boundless reservoir of pathologically incontrollable hatred and violence which the internet has unleashed..."

A Generation of Mean Girls  (05 May 2012)
"Social networking sites and celebrities are creating a generation of mean girls..."

Patriarchy vs Feminism  (2011)
"Patriarchal Abdication Leads to Feminist Hysteria! Does that sound like a catchy headliner for one of those flashy tabloid magazines? Do you imagine an ancient city overtaken by tyrannical women and all the men fleeing the countryside? Or rather, do you envision women running in circles, hands on the heads, shouting, 'Where did all the men go? Where did all the men go?..."

Why Are So Many Young Women Today Full of Rage?  (02 December 2010)
"A few days ago, I was reversing my car from a space in the Cheshire village of Alderley Edge car park, pleased to have found some beautiful flowers to take to my sick friend. Suddenly I heard a screech of rage. Failing to check my rear view properly, I'd narrowly missed backing into the small car entering the car park at a real lick. Even inside my vehicle the torrent of abuse was deafening..."

What a Sick World When Women Yearn to Look Like Girls and Little Girls Are Dressed to Look Like Women  (23 November 2010)
"[T]he average seven-year-old has always snuck into her mother's room and tried on her clothes, shoes and make-up; it is all a part of emulating your female role model and experimenting with what will happen in the future. But this was strictly 'dressing up' ... Where girls of the past had party shoes and a best dress that were just a little more grown-up and saved for special occasions, today's little girls have an entire wardrobe of clothes more suited to a street-walker than a child. How on earth did we reach this depressing state of affairs?..."

Leftist Women and the Image of Masculinity  (10 February 2008)
"What do left-wing women think of the modern male? Some radical women appear to want something more traditional..."

Cultural Androgyny

Photoshopped for Sweden  (29 November 2012)
"In Sweden you aren't supposed to make distinctions between what boys and girls might choose for toys. Equality there means boys playing with dolls as much as girls. Why? As I've pointed out many times, under the principles of liberalism predetermined qualities like our sex aren't supposed to matter. Therefore it is thought progressive if sex distinctions are erased..."

Toronto Schools Instil Gender Confusion  (26 September 2012)
"The Toronto District School Board employs specially trained representatives who supply stickers and posters such as the one above to schools, and who will 'challenge attitudes and ideas' on 'gender stereotyping', telling children that 'masculine and feminine are labels, not definitions' and urging them to 'speak out against sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and heterosexist behaviour'. (We assume the latter means boys behaving like boys and girls behaving like girls.)..."

Father-Daughter Dance Banned  (25 September 2012)
"The recent news that the Cranston, Rhode Island, school district cancelled its father-daughter dance deserves more attention. It may appear to be a trivial thing - one dance in one school district. But this policy is evidence of the ideological war against nature waged by the ACLU and their allies in the life-style Left..." 

In Sweden, Superman Pushes a Pram  (02 April 2012)
"The Swedes take liberalism so seriously, that toy catalogues there now show a boy Spiderman pushing a pram. The justification? It's exactly what you would expect from those following the liberal ideas:..."

Sex Distinctions  (28 September 2010)
"What is it that liberalism doesn't allow? In a liberal society, autonomy is the highest good. To be autonomous means to be self-determining. This means that whatever is predetermined is held to be a negative limitation on the individual. The fact of being a man or a woman is predetermined. It's not something we get to choose for ourselves. Therefore it is part of the liberal project to make distinctions between men and women not matter..."

Marriage, Family, Children, Child's Play

Day Care, Feminism, and the Wellbeing of Children  (17 September 2014)
"Extended periods of day care for young children are not in their best interests. Parents might benefit, but children seldom do. But before I go any further, let me get the objections out of the way first. Some folks seem to have little choice but to use day care for their children..."

Today's Children Have Much More to Fear Than a Belt From Dad, Cilla  (27 October 2013)
"We live in a censored society, made all the worse because we gag our own mouths..."

Since When Was Saving Your Children A 'Lifestyle Choice'?  (11 August 2013)
"There's something a little jaunty about the expression 'lifestyle choice'. And maybe in the super-rich world of our Chancellor of the Exchequer, this is how full-time motherhood is regarded. But actually quite a lot of couples view it as a stern duty. They see the terrifying world of bad schools, bullying, drugs, internet filth and peer-pressure to do the wrong thing, which now menaces children, and they resolve to make their homes a fortress against this..."

Created For Him?  (14 June 2013)
"We bring to [our] marriage ... many years of negative conditioning. Girls spend years watching their Moms dishonor Dad. The TV, movies, and modern culture are conditioning the next generation of girls to greater dishonor..."

Marriage Is God's Finishing School  (14 June 2013)
"All marriages begin with two imperfect people. ... Men and women are created differently but complementary. Each has something (and is something) the other needs to make them complete. Each is designed to yield to the nature of the other in order to become whole..." 

We Fuss Over Mothers... Then Tell Them to Dump Their Children in Baby Farms and Go Back to Work  (17 March 2013)
"The more fuss we make about mothers, ... the less we seem to want them to bring up their own children. The view seems to be that it's just about all right for women to give birth, but after that, can we please separate them from their young as soon as possible..."

Fractured Families and Social Engineering  (01 January 2013)
"We live in an age of ever escalating rights' claims, but with ever decreasing emphasis on responsibility and obligation. Every day new claims to rights are being heard, often just pulled out of the hat. And each new day sees less and less talk of duty and of responsibility..."

Six Ways Parents Destroy Their Children Without Trying  (14 December 2012)
"Get so busy providing for them that you don't have time for them  /  Set a bad example  /  Expressing displeasure regularly  /  Not enforcing boundaries  /  Leaving them to choose their friends  /  Not giving them any responsibility or holding them accountable"

Broken Families, Lonely Britain  (05 November 2012)
"According to the ONS, almost 2.5 million people aged between 45 and 64 have their own home but no spouse, partner or children to live with them. Since the mid-Nineties, their number has grown by more than 50 per cent. This disturbing trend was always entirely predictable as one of the baleful effects of family breakdown. For the age-group that is so over-represented in these dismal figures is the post-war 'baby boomer' generation - those who grew up in the Swinging Sixties and proceeded to throw over the traditional family..."

An Open Letter to Maria Miller MP, Minister for Women and Equalities  (21 September 2012)
"You will be aware that last week the Deputy prime Minister made known his real attitude toward those ... who oppose the Government's plans to redefine marriage. We are 'bigots', he was due to say, until it became apparent that it's rather a disdainful, intolerant and illiberal, not to say 'bigoted' attitude for any politician to hold. Many of us who believe in traditional marriage ... do so for honourable and sincere reasons..."

Telling the Truth About Destroying Marriage and Family  (27 June 2012)
"The radical left has never hidden its hatred of such bourgeois institutions as marriage, family and church. And they are much more open in their stated aims to see such things destroyed. No beating around the bush by using weasel words like 'tolerance' and 'acceptance'..."

Privacy for Me, But Not for Thee  (18 June 2012)
"Why do we complain about  Lib-Con plans to police emails but not their plans to interfere in 'chaotic families'?..."

Children Do Better With Mother and Father  (12 June 2012)
"What incredibly bizarre times we line in, to even have to state such an overwhelmingly obvious truth. I might as well have penned an article with the title, 'People Do Better Eating' or 'Children Fare Best When They Breathe'. Of course children need a mother and father, and of course anything less than that will be less ideal..."

Albatross Generation  (10 May 2012)
"Huge, ungainly, fluffy, and stupid-looking, the young albatross has been given the nickname Booby by American servicemen at airbases on the Pacific islands where the birds nest..."

Cultural Disintegration and Sexual Suicide  (07 May 2012)
"Way back in 1956 Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin wrote an important volume called The American Sex Revolution. In it the noted academic warned of the direction the US was taking as it cast off all moral restraint, and elevated all things sexual to an idolatrous level. ... Consider three recent news items highlighting the sexual suicide taking place all around us. We all suffer because of this, but especially our children. Indeed, when almost all of society is conducting a sexual war against our kids, it makes the job of any parent very difficult indeed..."

Witnessing Social Suicide  (04 May 2012)
"it is not very often that we find ourselves witnessing - and even taking part in - a pivotal turning point in a civilisation. Only rarely in human history are people allowed to take part in, or at least observe, transformations and revolutions which are far-reaching and earth shattering. We in the West are now living through this very thing..."

So Minister, When Did Porn Users' Civil Liberties Trump the Protection of Children?  (23 April 2012)
"As any responsible parent knows, the internet has introduced a vile new hazard into the upbringing of children. ... In a cross-party report published last week, MPs warned that a whole generation of children was growing up with their minds affected by images of depravity from which most adults would avert their gaze. ... What a wholesale corruption of children has suddenly overtaken us - and with what untold consequences..."

Spoilt Little Buddhas! Doting Parents Turn Out Children Who Just Can't Behave  (05 April 2012)
"Parents are raising a generation of 'little Buddhas' who never lift a finger around the house, a teachers' leader declared yesterday. Children are growing up constantly demanding their own way because they are 'waited on hand and foot' by over-indulgent parents..."

The UN's War Against Our Children  (31 March 2012)
"OK, now here's a bit of good news - at least if you are a paedophile, or a low-life pervert, or someone who does not give a rip about the wellbeing of children..."

It's Time to Expel the 'Experts' From Family Life  (12 September 2011)
"In modern times, there has been something of a revolt against traditional authority. As a result of this, all forms of authority are increasingly being called into question. After all, if the authority of the king and the priest and the politician can be interrogated, why not call into question the authority of pater familias, too?..."

The Family (Part 1)  (14 July 2011)
"The traditional family runs counter to [the liberals' desire for individual] autonomy in several ways..."

Top Ten Boneheaded Parenting Tips From the Left  (05 September 2010)
"It began in the 1960s. Anything that resembled the values of 'the greatest generation' was deemed foul and tainted. It took only a couple generations of parenting advice, heavy-laden with leftist social politics and psychology to come up with this mess..."

Mothers Who Fall Short - By Design  (22 July 2010)
"It is supremely ironic that over the past 40 years or so, women have stepped forward and claimed authority in the military, education, religious institutions, corporations, politics and the professions, and have been persuaded to all but completely abdicate their authority over their children..."

To Tell a Child "You Can Be Anything You Want to Be" is Irresponsible  (15 July 2010)
"A grandmother recently told me that her son and daughter-in-law have told her only grandchild, an 8-year-old, that he can be anything he wants in life. She was incensed..."

Family 'Democracy' Can Turn to Tyranny  (08 July 2010)
"My wife, Willie, and I began our family in 1969. ... It was 'hip' to believe such things as the democratic family, and so, being super-hip, Willie and I charged down the road to democracy with our first. We were going to prove that Family Utopia was within grasp..."

"Because I Said So" Signals Strong Parental Leadership  (30 June 2010)
"The 1960s were marked by several assassinations, the war in Vietnam, recreational drugs, ersatz peace and love, and a plague, still with us, of general stupidity when it came to children..."

It's Time For Parents to Get Their Heads Out of the '60s  (24 June 2010)
"I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the 1960s to be over and done with. That destructive decade has ruled [Western] parenting for 40 years and pretty well ruined it in the process. Before the '60s, parents sought child rearing advice from their parents. Since then, parents have sought advice from a professional class..."

The Spoilt Generation: Parents Who Fail to Exert Authority Breed Youngsters With No Respect For Anyone  (14 September 2009)
"A growing lack of adult authority has bred a 'spoilt generation' of children who believe grown-ups must earn their respect, ... The rise of the 'little emperor' spans the class divide and is fuelling ills from childhood obesity to teenage pregnancy, ... Attempts to 'empower' children and a lack of discipline in the classroom have also fostered rising levels of violence, at home, at school and in the street..."

Holy Matrimony  (02 June 2009)
"The marriage of one man to one woman is the oldest institution on earth, predating all religion and government, inaugurated in the Garden of Eden by the Creator himself. ... The traditional view of marriage that has come down to us from antiquity is shared by peoples of every culture and language, and reflects quite well the Biblical definition of marriage as being only between a man and a woman. History, likewise, reveals that all governments and religions have assumed that marriage is an unalienable human mandate from God, thus pre-existing government, and that is therefore beyond its jurisdiction..."

Patricide vs Patriarchy  (24 January 2001)
"Patricide is the act of killing our fathers. It can take many forms. Dishonor can be a form of patricide. To dishonor a father is to strike at one of the defining relationships in the universe - that of the Father and the Son. Revisionist history is a form of patricide. When historians attack the spiritual forefathers of a nation, or when they pervert the legacies of the past, they engage in a form of cultural patricide. But whether the act of patricide takes the form of physical murder, a dishonoring rejection of authority, or historical revisionism, the result is always the same - to cut off the future from the past and to ensure the destruction of the individual and the community..."

Male Passivity: The Root of All Evil  (1999)
"The well being of the whole creation rests on the proper functioning of the various authority arrangements that exist. ... The order that exists in the Godhead from all eternity is the model for the order that the Creator has built into His creation. When this order is violated, chaos and death result..."

How Dr. Spock is Destroying America  (No Date)
"Spock's child rearing book Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care, first published in 1946, sold 750,000 copies the first year, has since sold over 50 million copies, and is sixth in sales only to the Bible. Life magazine certified the depth of his influence, naming Spock among the 100 most important people of the twentieth century. Within a decade after Spock's first book, a perceptible change began to develop in American families..."

Defensive Parenting  (No Date)
"In this current generation I see too many people, young and old alike, who lack emotional resilience. When they were young, their parents obviously came to the rescue whenever another child upset them, and they defended them from anyone in authority who tried to hold them accountable for their behavior. It should be of no surprise that indulgent, hyper-defensive parenting is at the root of politically correct speech..."

Children  (No Date)
"Children always push the boundaries of behaviour until some adult stops them. ... How often have you heard a child screaming in the supermarket because it wants some sweets? A short, sharp slap was all that was needed the first time they did this and refused to stop when asked. Lesson learnt - path for future good behaviour established. Unfortunately the parent has probably been intimidated by some PC idiot into thinking she shouldn't 'hit' her child. So what does the parent do? She buys the sweets and the child learns that it can get what it wants by screaming and being disobedient. Lesson learnt - path for future bad behaviour established..."

The State as Parent

'It Takes a Village...'

God gave children to parents, NOT to the State, to love, to nurture, to teach, to discipline, and to train up into adulthood. It does NOT take a 'village' to raise a child; it takes a loving and biological/adoptive family.

Day Care, Feminism, and the Wellbeing of Children  (17 September 2014)
"[A]n ideological agenda has been pushed here for many decades now. Radical social engineering is a big part of why we now readily part with our own babies and toddlers, giving them to complete strangers to look after during their most crucial stages of life. ... [O]ne expert ... [is] willing to buck the system and stand against political correctness big time by saying that long day care is a 'form of child abuse'. Here is how the story opens..."

A Tale of Cruel Bureaucracy That Kept Parents Locked Away From Ailing Son  (03 September 2014)
"The sorry story of how Brett and Naghemeh King ended up as inmates of the high-security Soto del Real prison in Madrid - and why their release was delayed despite the very people who put them there admitting that they should be freed - is an object lesson in bureaucratic paralysis. As Southampton General Hospital, the Crown Prosecution Service and Hampshire Constabulary - the triumvirate that conspired to have Ashya King's parents arrested - went into reverse, their tardiness in admitting their mistake meant ...

UK Withdraws Arrest Warrant for Parents Who Fled State-Controlled Health Service with Sick Child  (02 September 2014)
"The legal proceedings were dropped by the CPS following the delivery of a petition signed by 126,000 members of the public to 10 Downing Street, ... There has been a national outcry over the police pursuit of the family and their subsequent arrest ... The case raises serious concerns over the role of the State versus the role of the family in relation to the care of their children. ... Questions are also being asked over how a European Arrest Warrant was secured in the first place, as it is clear that the Kings are not the neglectful parents they were made out to be..."

PETITION: UK Government Concerning Ashya King Family's Choice of Hospital for Their Sick Child  (Received 01 September 2014)
"We call upon Prime Minister David Cameron & Secretary of State and Health Jeremy Hunt [to explain] why the human rights of parents are taken away when medical treatment of their children is not up to their standards & wishes, especially when they are wanting to fund this themselves. We would like a full apology for the family and a public investigation, and for the parents to be allowed to have the human right to choose to have the basic right of picking the hospital care they wish for their sick child. The parents should not be arrested and separated from their son, Ashya."

Get Ready to go to Jail - Your Children Will Denounce You  (06 April 2014)
"Along with all his other mimicry of the Blair creature, [David Cameron's] most striking policy is his determination to continue New Labour's revolutionary plan to destroy the married family, drive women out of their homes into wage-slavery and abolish the whole concept of the father and husband. This scheme is always disguised as something else. It always means more State meddling in family life. Usually it is called 'Equality'. But sometimes it is called 'Children's Rights'. Both these expressions are lies. Women are not more equal, but far worse off thanks to the anti-marriage revolution, as they are increasingly finding. ... As for children, their supposed 'rights' actually mean ever-increasing power for the State to intervene in their lives. Oddly enough, this never seems to diminish or prevent horrible abuse..."

How PC Moonbattery Harms Children and Society  (04 April 2014)

Now It's a Social Worker For Every Child in Scotland  (25 May 2013)
"For anyone familiar with how our 'child protection' system often works in practice, rather loud alarm bells might be rung by a Bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament that takes the state's intervention in family life to a startling new level. Under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Bill, every child from birth will be given a 'named person', charged with keeping an eye on that child's interests until it reaches adulthood..."

Care Plan Sees Dystopian Future Arriving Early  (08 May 2013)
"About ten years ago, a bit bored with my attempts to change the world, I decided to write a dystopian science fiction novel. The conceit of this never-to-be-written book was the complete collapse of privacy illustrated by the 'supporters' that everyone was given when they had a child. In this futuristic hell, as soon as a woman gave birth, a support worker would come and live in her house..."

The Theft of Our Children  (10 April 2013)
"The radical social engineers have always known that in order to succeed with their coercive utopian agendas, they must take children away from their families. Two and a half millennia ago Plato wrote extensively in his Republic about how children really belong to the state, ... The communists of course knew the value of breaking up the family and talking children away to brainwash them in the ideology of the state. ... Hitler also knew this full well. ... All the totalitarians and statists have known how important this is..."

Nationalizing Children  (07 April 2013)
"Whenever a progressive invokes the 'community', that term refers to a state-engineered collective in which the individual has no rights. Whenever a collectivist refers to 'public [state] education', that phrase is shorthand for ... indoctrinating [a child] in the notion that they are the property of the 'community'. ... Whenever an advocate of 'public education' refers to 'our children', conscientious parents should take a quick inventory of their arsenals..."

MSNBC Host: Your Kids Belong to the Collective  (06 April 2013)
"[C]ollege professor and MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry says your children are not yours - they are owned by the community. ...

Smacking Bad, Paedophilia OK  (02 December 2010)
I am not sure how many times I have used Isaiah 5:20 to introduce - or conclude - an article, but it once again comes perfectly into play here. Although written 2500 years ago, it perfectly describes the age we we are now living in, in the secular West. The passage says this: 'Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!'. We seem to be doing this constantly in the post-Christian West. We have managed to condemn virtue while we celebrate vice. Two recent news items illustrate this so very thoroughly and tragically..."

They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals..."

State Brainwashing Children to 'Re-Educate' Their Parents for Green Dictatorship  (05 February 2009)
"A massive program with its tentacles embedded into almost every corner of education and popular culture is underway to use the 'green' agenda to brainwash children and turn them against their own parents, as the state moves towards the creation of a Stasi-style informant society using methods that have been repeated in every totalitarian state throughout history..."

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: The NWO vs. Parental Rights  (November 1993)
"The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child threatens international control of every aspect of child rearing. It is a tremendous threat to the sovereignty of parents over their children, and makes every child a ward of the state. This report examines the text of the Convention resolution as it currently stands. ... At the very root of the Convention lies a moral and philosophical world view that runs counter to God's Word..."

The Professional Busybodies and the Child-Snatchers (aka Social Services and Family Courts)

The issues here are (a) the arrogant over-riding by State Social 'Services' of the inherent and prior right and responsibility of family members (grandparents, aunts and uncles, older siblings, cousins) to take into their home the child or children of another family member who is genuinely incapable of raising them, before either non blood-related heterosexual couples are considered as foster or adoptive parents or the children are placed in State 'care'; and (b) the politically-correct insistence that children be given to homosexuals despite there being very many heterosexual couples willing and able to adopt them.

The terrible reason underlying all such pernicious interference by the Social 'Services' and their equally vile cohorts in the secret 'Family' Courts into the sanctity of parents and their families is the deliberate agenda by Western Governments to replace God-ordained parental authority with God-less totalitarian State authority over children as seen in the sub-section above: 'It Takes a Village'.  Please also see the section: 'The State as Parent' on the Politically Correct Quotations page here.  State education is also part of that agenda.  Please see here and here for more on state education.

Please pray for these children and their parents who are the victims of the UK's (also USA's and other Western nations') evil social engineering programmes carried out by witless social workers and family court personnel.  Please also pray for the eyes and understanding of these 'useful idiots' in the Social Serives to be opened that they may see that far from protecting children they are doing all these little ones great harm.

The Lunatics Take Over the Asylum in 'Caring' Britain  (04 January 2014)
"One of the most terrifying weapons our 'child protection' system uses against parents wishing to hold on to children who have been forcibly removed is to have them helplessly imprisoned in an asylum, certified under the Mental Health Act, where they can no longer give social workers and other 'professionals' any more trouble..."

Today's Child-Snatchers Are As Evil As Philomena's Nuns  (08 December 2013)
"We are very good at judging the past and sneering at the misdeeds of our parents and grandparents. We are not so good at seeing or condemning our own faults. A clever new film, Philomena, is a good example of this. Judi Dench does a wonderful job of portraying a badly wronged woman, robbed of her child by cruel and bigoted Irish nuns in a grim convent, with the the complicity of the State and the law. ... Modern audiences walk out of the cinema congratulating themselves that they are not like those nuns, and would never tolerate such things going on in their midst. But as they do so, they are barely aware of a monstrous scandal, similar in every way, now happening all over the country..."

A Sick Mum, Secret Courts and Brutality Beyond Belief  (07 December 2013)

Agony of Mother Whose Baby Girl Was Put up for Adoption After Secret Court Judge Forced Her to Have a Caesarean  (03 December 2013)
"The newborn was taken into state care on the orders of a judge in the notoriously secretive Court of Protection - despite the mother's pleas to be allowed to raise her. The case provoked a wave of anger from MPs and patient pressure groups, with one MP describing social workers as 'dictators who are unaccountable and out of control'..."

The 'Wrong' Sort of Indoctrination (For the Left)  (27 November 2012)
"[T]wo [recent] cases suggest that within the social work world, whether state funded or charitable, UKIP have been placed on some sort of black list. This is positively sinister because once agents of the state, whether directly employed or subcontracted labour in organisations such as charities, are allowed to make political judgements in their work anything potentially goes, including the imposition of blanket bans on those belonging to parties deemed not to be within the ideological Pale of the public servant or organisation..."

It's Not This Family Who Are Bigots - It's the Multicultural Thought Police  (26 November 2012)
"The story sounds just too idiotic and outrageous to be true. A Rotherham couple, by all accounts exemplary foster parents for nearly seven years, took on two children and a baby in an emergency placement. Eight weeks later, social workers came and took the children away - despite the fact that they were thriving - on the grounds that because the couple belonged to the UK Independence Party this was not 'the right cultural match'..."

Rotherham's UKIP Child-Catcher Joyce Thacker  (24 November 2012)
"There is no doubt that the children removed from the foster care of a UKIP supporting couple are just the latest victims of the culture war being waged by so-called 'progressives'. Marxists and Fabians have long waged war on the traditional family since the days of George Bernard Shaw when he wrote in Socialism and the Family that socialism:..."

The Worst Scandal I Have Seen in My 50-Year Career  (13 October 2012)
"Scarcely a week goes by without more evidence emerging to indicate that our 'child protection' system is so dysfunctional that it should be looked on as a major national scandal. ... For three years I have been investigating scores of cases of children seized from their parents for what appear to quite absurd reasons. This outrage has not yet come to the centre of national attention only because our child protection system hides its workings behind a veil of secrecy. I have been amazed to discover how our family courts routinely turn all the cherished principles of British justice upside down. The most bizarre allegations, based on hearsay, can be levelled against parents who are then denied the right to challenge them. ... I summarise three of them here..."

It's A Worry  (28 June 2012)
"'It's a worry'... you may have noticed now and again that the good people of the BBC often, inadvertently perhaps, come out with this phrase when the discussion gets around to the EDL presence on our streets. It's not a worry that we have Islamic terrorists or terrorist 'sympathisers' walking the same streets... that's celebrating diversity or some such nonsense from the idiotic chattering classes that populate the corridors of the BBC. What is a real worry might be this story. This is a story that would be a parent's worst nightmare, a story that you would believe could only have come out of Stalinist Russia or North Korea. But it is happening here in the UK..."

Multi-Culti Child Snatching  (18 June 2012)
"Multicultural Britain is becoming an ever more sinister country in which to live. I am pretty much immune to the totalitarian ideology of multiculturalism, but having said that, even I must confess to being shocked that the British state can now kidnap babies and children simply because their parents question the dictatorial and wholly unnatural orthodoxy of the ruling elites..."

Psychiatrists Snatching Our Children? That's Stalin's Trick  (24 March 2012)

Social Services Deliberate Destruction of a Family  (12 December 2011)
"Their system works like this: First, Social Services get their set against you - under the heading of 'RISK'.

"Because he was a man and a soldier ... [this man] was [social services] said, more likely to be of a violent disposition, and therefore more capable of abusing his baby son, ...

Enough is Enough: Will You be Counted and Act Today?  (30 January 2009)
"How did we ever reach this stage in our society? ... There are countless such stories in the UK, ... The power of the state is truly scary, and frankly once on Social Services radar it seems no parent is safe from having their children taken away from them and put in care. ... I suggest a massive letter writing campaign drawing attention to this tragic case might well provoke a reaction and intervention from the government, but only if enough people write Gordon Brown and his government..."

Social Services Prefer Gays [sic] to Grandparents  (28 January 2009)
"The decision by Edinburgh Social Services to take two small children from their grandparents and have them adopted by a pair of homosexuals was today criticised by Christian Voice. ... Social Services talk about the 'best interests of the children', but it is their interests and the interests of political correctness they are more worried about. It will rarely be in the best interests of children to be ripped from a loving, competent family and it will never be in their best interests to be placed with a pair of homosexuals rather than a heterosexual couple. It is hard to avoid the adjective 'evil' when discussing a case of this kind, or when reading about the kind of conduct these social workers have employed..."

Family Justice: the Secret State That Steals Our Children  (06 July 2008)
"Two weeks ago I got a phone call from a woman I hadn't seen for four years. She was calling to tell me that she was moving abroad, unable to bear the pain of living in the same country as the daughter she is no longer allowed to see. ... Her story had been just so incredible. She described a world where courts need no criminal conviction to remove your child, only the word of a psychiatrist or doctor, and can deny you the chance to call any expert in your defence. A world that uses the 'welfare of the child' to gag you from discussing your case. Where even if you prove yourself innocent on appeal, your children may already haven been adopted: in which case you will never be allowed to contact them again..."

How Social Services Are Paid Bonuses to Snatch Babies for Adoption  (31 January 2008)
"For a mother, there can be no greater horror than having a baby snatched away by the State at birth. The women to whom it has happened say their lives are ruined for ever - and goodness knows what longterm effect it has on the child. Most never recover from this trauma. ...

The Rank Hypocrisy of Family Court Judges  (24 May 2007)
"I was gratified this week to find than an article I wrote in December [see Family Courts are the B-Side of the Law below] has been quoted in full by the Court of Appeal. It is flattering that Mr Justice Munby takes The Times seriously. It is of more import that he decided to publish his judgment on the case that I wrote about six months ago. For it is only when judges make their reasoning public that we can start to debate the grounds on which children should be taken into care..."

The Forces of Secrecy are Prevailing  (29 March 2007)
"Last week a High Court judge denounced the 'nightmare' suffered by a couple who were wrongly accused of harming their baby son. They were separated from that child for 12 months, the first and formative year of his life. During that time the mother became pregnant again but had an abortion, because she could not bear to risk the authorities taking that child too. So those who rushed to judgment ruined four lives..."

Babies Are Being Snatched For Adoption  (29 January 2007)

Family Courts are the B-Side of the Law  (21 December 2006)

Guilty Until Proved Innocent: the Grotesque Reality of Family Courts  (17 June 2006)
"There is something I waned to write about today. But I cannot. I cannot even tell you that I cannot tell you, because to do so might be to imply what it was I wanted to write about. And that might lead you to infer that I was referring to a situation that I should not refer to. Get it? No? I am beginning to understand why so few journalists write about cases in the family courts. The lawyers are patiently diminishing my file of potential cases week by week. But at least I am learning about the armoury of secrecy that social services can deploy which prevents scrutiny of the the removal of children from their parents..."

If They Come For Your Child: Guarding Against State Intrusion Into Your Home  (1994)
"Aggressive policies of child protective agencies have resulted in many families being unjustly torn apart. Intervention is often based on nothing more than suspicion of potential abuse, often reported anonymously by others outside the family. State intervention is based on a philosophical world view that is at odds with biblical faith, ... children are viewed as belonging to the state, not to the parents or to God..."

It Can't Happen Here  (March 1993)
"Twelve-year-old David didn't like his Christian parents' discipline.

"On the Left, it is axiomatic that all welfare recipients are virtuous, honest and decent, while all who want to limit benefits are cruel, callous and heartless.

[She] explained: 'The wives are regarded by the welfare system as single mothers, and are therefore entitled to a full range of lone parent payments. As a result, several "families" fathered by the same man can all claim benefits, as they are provided for by the welfare state, which treats them as if they were not related'..."

Whilst their more extreme elements may gang-rape little English girls, batter women senseless or threaten to behead those who insult Islam, such petty misdemeanours rarely drag the rozzers away from their computers, where more pressing matters demand attention. Nothing can distract our doughty boys-in-blue as, hunched before flickering screens, they endlessly trawl Facebook and Twitter for the crime that really concerns their political masters: the unforgiveable crime of criticising Islam..."

The Oppression of Emma West: The Politically Correct End Game Plays Out  (02 July 2013)

An Open Letter on Tommy's 30th Birthday  (27 November 2012)
"[T]he age I've always considered as the real beginning of one's majority. This is where life gets serious. it's a time for looking back and peering forward. When Tommy looks back, he sees the Aftermath, the wasteland created in his own life by those in power. The authorities broke his business, took away his computers, harassed his parents in their home, damaged his car, froze his bank account and persecuted him relentlessly. All this for daring to call attention to the things that are deeply wrong in England. All this for demanding that England not be sold off to its immigrants, that instead Englishmen be permitted to continue to live their proud heritage. The USSR has moved from Russia to take up residence in England and the rest of the United Kingdom."  /  "As many others do, I have the urge to give you something meaningful to mark the occasion, something would cheer and comfort you, something you could cherish, and above all, something that no one could take away.

Emma West Trial Delayed for the Third Time  (08 September 2012)
"It is true that cases can be delayed several times for reasons which are entirely legitimate. ...

"Emma West has been remanded in custody until 3rd January when she will appear at Croydon Crown Court. ... By [then] she will, in effect, have served a custodial sentence of 37 days, ... It often takes burglars in England to be convicted three or even more times of burglary before they receive a custodial sentence. Miss West has also been separated from her children who may well have been taken into care and will have the great trauma of both wondering what is happening to them and whether they may be taken off her by our wondrously politically correct social services. Bizarrely, Miss West is being held in what is to all intents and purposes a category A prison ... the highest security prison ... reserved for 'prisoners ... whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public or national security'. ... suggest a deliberate policy of intimidation by the authorities designed both to undermine her resolution and send a most threatening message to every white Briton..."

Marine A: Criminal or Casualty?  (01 December 2013)
"However good a soldier's training ... nothing could ever fully prepare him for what war actually entails. No amount of smoke bombs and blank rounds could ever approximate the horror and ferocity of a real, kill-or-be-killed, blood-spattered confrontation with a ruthless and determined foe. Warfare is a mind-bending experience that exposes men, invariably young me, to realities so terrible that they will never forget them - no matter how hard they try..."

War is Murder  (20 November 2013)
"Soldiers are trained to overcome their natural inhibitions to kill. Their job is to kill the enemy as efficiently and effectively as possible. And rather than the 'Live and let live' ethos of civilian life the immutable reality of was is 'kill or be killed'. Because of this there will always be indents that strike us squeamish civilians as horrific and wrong. In a phrase, WAR IS MURDER. For this reason alone soldiers should be cut a bit of slack when they make a mistake. But the nature of the job is far from the only reason for leniency for [Marine A]..."

Marine 'A' is Going to Jail - But the Guilt is All Blair's  (17 November 2013)

"If you're in Woolwich, where soldier Lee Rigby was killed by jihadists for wearing a 'Help For Heroes' t-shirt.

And if you were looking forward to the arrival of two American speakers on the dangers of Islamic fanaticism, forget it - they're being banned in case they offend the moslems on that day by their presence. But if you're a moslem hate preacher commuting from Pakistan to London, you're welcome to enter Britain at any time, even on Armed Forces Day."

Gove Faces War with Equality Activists as he Axes Labour's PC Curriculum that Dropped Greatest Figures from History Lessons  (29 December 2012)
"Some of the greatest figures in Britain's past are to be restored to their rightful place in history, thanks to an overhaul of the school curriculum. The likes of Oliver Cromwell, Lord Nelson and Winston Churchill had been dropped from history lessons under the last Labour Government in a move critics said was driven by 'political correctness'...

Losing Our Children in the Classroom  (30 November 2012)
"There is no question about the enormous influence of contemporary mass education, and how it can be used as a tool of indoctrination and propaganda. Every dictator and tyrant demands a compliant and submissive populace, and what better way to achieve this than to capture young people in the schools, and turn them into mindless zombies of the state..."

The Shame of the University of London Union  (12 November 2012)
"Meet Daniel Cooper, Acting President of the University of London Union, ... In this position, Mr Cooper represents some 120,000 students, of diverse beliefs - political and religious. He was invited, in that capacity, by the Senior Anglican Chaplain ... to lay a wreath at the University's Service of Remembrance. He declined to do so 'on principle'. ... [B]elow is the letter he sent to explain why he refused to participate..."

Islam in Education  (01 August 2012)
"As a teacher I am saddened by the way in which the educational elites have robbed English children of the right to know and understand their heritage and history. There is no question that today English children know very little about who they really are, where they have come from or their very rich and wonderful culture..."

Wow, Mr Gove! Back to the Future!  (21 June 2012)
"Much excitement over the political implications of Education Secretary Michael Gove's stunning decision, ... to scrap the 16+ GCSE exam and bring back in its place the academic O-Level and more vocational CSE. ... what's really important is the stunning impact these proposals - if they and Gove survive - will have in starting to reverse Britain's education disaster. ... What Gove has understood is that the reason why GCSE has become unfit for purpose is also the reason why education standards in general have disintegrated. This is the doctrine of equality of outcomes..."

Islamic Indoctrination in Textbooks  (04 April 2012)
"Political Correctness has a double standard when it comes to teaching about religion in public [state] schools. Drop Christianity down the Memory Hole, but give extensive and mostly favourable coverage to Islam..."

English Education - A Project to Culturally Cleanse the English  (19 March 2012)
"The conscious intent of the liberal elite is to create a belief amongst the English that they, of all peoples, are not worthy of a national identity. ... By being denied access to their history and culture, English children are left without a bedrock of conscious cultural imprinting to build upon their natural and healthy communal instincts..."

Education  (No Date)

Revisionist History and Its Results

Colonialism, Imperialism, Empire

Nelson Mandela: The Che Guevara of Africa  (09 December 2013)
"To some extent, Mandela's legend has been nourished - even created - by sentimental Westerners. The measure of the man whom Oprah Winfrey and supermodel Naomi Campbell have taken to calling 'Madiba' - Mandela's African honorific; Winfrey and Campbell's, African affectation - has been determined by the soggy sentimentality of our MTV-coated culture. 'Madiba's' TV smile has won out over his political philosophy, founded as it is on energetic income redistribution in the Neo-Marxist tradition, on 'land reform' in the same tradition, and on ethnic animosity toward the Afrikaner..."

South Africa in the Shadows  (06 December 2013)
"'People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them', James Baldwin wrote. Few men have had as much history trapped in them as Nelson Mandela. To those outside South Africa, the country has been reduced to Nelson Mandela just as it was once reduced to apartheid..."

Mandela: White Genocide With a Whimper  (05 December 2013)
"Nelson Mandela is dead, and South Africa without 'Madiba' will be much the same as it was before: a wreck of a country with slowly collapsing infrastructure, high crime, and the slow-motion genocide of Afrikaners. None of this matters much to the opinion makers of what used to be the West. For them, the true hallmark of leftist totalitarianism isn't brutality - it's kitsch, and we'll see plenty of that. Mandela will be on every magazine cover, the Internet will be drowning in sentimental schmaltz, and Facebook will be littered with sanctimonious status updates..."

Don't Mourn for Mandela  (05 December 2013)
"The whole world, pretty much, is mourning for Nelson Mandela today. But most are not mourning for the real Mandela. They are, in fact, mourning for the myth of Mandela..."

The Tyranny of Guilt  (11 October 2010)
"I've just finished reading The Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism, by French philosopher Pascal Bruckner, in which he claims that 'all of modern thought can be reduced to mechanical denunciations of the West, emphasizing the latter's hypocrisy, violence, and abomination.'  He shows how Europeans see themselves as 'the sick man of the planet' whose pestilence causes every problem in the non-Western world..."

Slavery  /  Foreign Aid  /  Redistribution of Power and Wealth

Foreign Aid is Nothing to Be Proud Of, Dave  (04 April 2014)
"Only last week Dave claimed that his subversive campaign for homomarriage was his proudest achievement. Now he has confused his supporters by shifting his object of pride on to foreign aid. Or rather on having kept his promise (and the UN target) to blow 0.7 percent of our GDP on fattening the Swiss bank accounts of assorted tyrants..."

Christians and Foreign Aid  (18 September 2013)
"Regrettably, many Christians do not think very carefully or biblically about the important social issues of the day. At best the church often just simply slavishly follows whatever the world is thinking, and just parrots the world's nostrums instead of actually thinking biblically and discerningly about contemporary social topics. this is certainly true in the area of foreign aid..."

Slavery and 'One Drop of Blood'  (18 November 2012)
"It is often assumed that slavery in the antebellum USA was driven by white vs black racism. In fact, it was, if anything, the other way round - it was slavery that exacerbated racism..."

Daniel Nasaw's Horrible History Lesson  (30 September 2012)
"Daniel Nasaw is one of the handful of Beeboids working the US beat who was actually born and raised here. In his latest feature for the BBC online Magazine, a 'From Our Own Correspondent' segment, he visits a Civil War battle reenactment to use as a metaphor for a primary Narrative about the current state of US politics we hear across the spectrum of BBC broadcasting: an historic, extreme polarization. Nasaw doesn't so much get the basic relevant history bits of the Civil War wrong as he does the lesson which he's trying to invent from it..."

Time to Cast Off 'The White Man's Burden'  (18 September 2012)
"The Daily Telegraph has run an article in which Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft, a significant donor to the party, has called upon the Government to revise its international development strategy and to cut the foreign aid budget..."

Harriet Harman's Bizarre Proposal  (13 December 2011)

The New Socialism  (11 December 2009)
"in the 1970s and early '80s, having seized control of the U.N. apparatus (by power of numbers), Third World countries decided to cash in. OPEC was pulling off the greatest wealth transfer from rich to poor in history. Why not them?..."

The Great Slavery Wheeze  (1 April 2007)
"[Apologising for s]lavery is now very much in vogue, and demands are growing for a formal apology from Britain, and only Britain, mind you. ... All demands for apologies, all of them, are merely a prelude to the attempted extraction of hard cash..."

Christianity and Poverty  (16 November 2006)
"How is the believer to think about poverty, welfare, and the best way to help the poor?  Such topics are far too big to consider here, but aspects of this discussion can be briefly addressed..."

Socialism and Capitalism

Margaret Thatcher: Never Forget the Chaos of Life Before Her  (14 April 2013)
"'Every separate group in the country had no feeling and no sense of being part of a community but was simply out to get for itself what it could.'  As you might expect, such was the assessment of a former Labour politician. But this was not the late Peter Shore reflecting on the Britain that Margaret Thatcher created. He was talking about the Britain she inherited..."

Margaret Thatcher: Britain Was Set Free by This Class Warrior  (13 April 2013)
"The radical idea of Thatcherism's social philosophy was that everyone had a right to progress. ... while [many of her reforms] were tumultuous in their significance, they could all (God help us) be reversed. ... But it would be humanly impossible to overturn the revolution in social attitudes that she brought about. And by social attitudes I mean, of course, attitudes to class. It is very difficult to explain to people under the age of 40 what this change has meant..."

To Blame Margaret Thatcher For Today's Problems is to Misunderstand History  (09 April 2013)
"While many of her reforms fortunately live on, she can be held responsible neither for the state of today's manufacturing sector, nor for the financial crisis. To claim otherwise is to misunderstand history, her own philosophy and the nature of our present problems..."  

The Greens - A Warning From History (Volume Two)  (12 March 2012)
"Marxist sociologists used to assume that radical opposition to capitalism would come from below. They were constantly disappointed in the workers, of course, who seemed more interested in washing machines and cars and foreign holidays, than smashing the system. Instead we now have posh-anti-capitalism from above..."

The Greens - A Warning From History (Volume One)  (04 January 2012)
"What are we to make of the morose nostalgia of the greens? Why do today's posh rebels yearn for the world as it was before capitalism? What was it about the Middle Ages that appeals to them so much?..."

Capitalism, Corporatism, Redistribution, 'Austerity', Politics of Envy

Only CUTS Can Save Us  (12 October 2012)
"In the newspapers again we are told that the banks have 'no excuse' not to lend. Isn't this puzzling? Banks are commercial organisations. It is in their interest to lend money to profitable companies. Banks want to lend money like a baker wants to sell bread..."

Crisis of Statism Not Capitalism  (09 October 2012)
"If the extravagant spending promises of politicians outstrip both the capabilities of even a well-functioning capitalism to generate the necessary wealth and the public's willingness to pay for it that is not capitalism's crisis, but a crisis of big management..."

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics  (08 October 2012)
"Flanders rounds off her portraits of influential economic  thinkers with a Marxist mirage. Ostensibly about Marx it was really just a vehicle to propagate the usual BBC rhetoric about inequality, Thatcher, and the rich getting richer..."

Come Back, Marx, All Is Forgiven... Luv Steph!  (09 September 2012)
"What is it about Marx that Stephanie Flanders finds so appealing? ... [She] has dreamt up another scheme to advance the cause ... As you may have guessed it's entitled 'Come back Marx, all is forgiven'.  Now all those millions of people who have been slaughtered by the socialists in the great leap forward in the name of Progress may take issue with that..."

Comrade Obama: If You've Got a Business - You Didn't Build That  (16 July 2012)
"Addressing a partisan crowd during a campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia, President Obama hymned the praises of government as the provider of all good things, while rebuking business owners for their supposedly misplaced belief that 'build' wealth as individuals:..."

Whose 'Austerity' Are We Talking About?  (16 May 2012)
"I listen to the news and I feel like I've stepped into George Orwell's 1984. Apparently 'austerity' means sacking some public sector workers, who are paid for out of taxation. 'Growth' means hanging onto them and maintaining high taxes..."

The Sanctification of Public Nuisance  (08 November 2011)
"Extraordinarily, in St Paul's Churchyard a public nuisance has been elevated into a political and spiritual milestone. ... apparently because of the tented protest on its precincts against 'the City's blank morals and its tragically advanced greed.' ... Well yes, people who work in money-making are part of a general culture of greed and shallowness which bespeak a society mired in selfishness. ... But the tented 'Occupy' protest is not targeting this wider breakdown of a culture of moral obligation..."

The Real Global Warming Consensus or Why Intellectuals Hate Capitalism  (17 August 2011)
"On the television news they set up their annual 'Climate Camp' in London. The militant global warmers plant their tents on Blackheath and prepare to march on the City of London, to smash up some banks and moan about free trade and industrial capitalism. The protesters, interviewed on TV, are all very middle-class and nicely spoken. ... At this anti-capitalist 'climate' jamboree, where are the heroic, muscle-bound proletarians?..."
