‘Relationship’ as a Euphemism: What Does This Tell Us About the Culture?

Kaitlyn Hunt’s family says she’s a victim of homophobia. A week ago, Canadian lesbian Kristin Ireland wrote: The Kaitlyn Hunt case haunts me. Never more than a few moments out of my mind. I read every word I can find on the subject. And I search for similar cases. How many of our young people […]

Our Own Corner Of The Library

Because She’s Cute, That’s Why

Some friends have asked why I’m being such a hard-ass about the Kaitlyn Hunt case. Certainly, my personal experience and opinions are relevant to the situation, and perhaps later I’ll discuss the case in terms of my perspective as an erstwhile teenage hoodlum. No one familiar with Rule Five of “How to Get a Million […]

Cultural Survival Instinct

The counter-jihad blogger known as Fjordman has an essay up at David Horowitz’s Front Page Magazine about the situation in Norway. Norway’s immigrant population is small compared to that in the United States, but the problems arising seem much worse: In May 2011 [Labour Party activist Eskil Pedersen] pressed criminal charges against a Member of Parliament, Christian […]
