By Robert Knight   |   07.14.18

Mormon Exodus from Scouting Is Good for Boys
By Robert Knight   |   05.18.18

A Black-Robed Counterrevolution
By Robert Knight   |   04.18.18

Unmasking the Folly of Today’s Emperors
By Robert Knight   |   01.15.18

image_pdfimage_printAs we stand on the threshold of a new year, a phrase from Simon and Garfunkel’s song “The Boxer” sums up why America’s division into two warring worldviews seems to be widening. “A man hears what he wants to hear...
Cultural Marxism and Its Discontents
By Robert Knight   |   11.16.17
The deadly Islamic terrorist truck attack in New York City on Halloween exposed a cauldron of issues, from national security to immigration policy. But it’s about much more than that. The attack and its aftermath have shone a light on the Left’s campaign to radically transform America through cultural Marxism. That’s the revolutionary philosophy that aims to cure inequality by destroying traditional Western culture.
Whackapedia?

The Uses and Abuses of Hate
By Robert Knight   |   10.19.17

What Have Liberals Got to Hide?
By Robert Knight   |   09.06.17

They claim creating an election integrity commission is a way to advance voter suppression. They truly fear the findings of this commission, and want to disband it as soon as possible.
Silencing the Silencers
By Robert Knight   |   07.14.17
Frustrated by its inability to win elections, the left is attempting to silence opponents through intimidation, either in the streets or in the courts. The latest example is the hijacking of Guidestar USA by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Guidestar is a database of more than 2 million nonprofit and non-governmental (NGO) organizations.
