With one exception, the wars in which the United States has engaged since its inception involved our nation against one or more external adversaries. That exception, the American Civil War (1861-1865), still elicits an emotional response among our citizens due to the inherent tragedy connected to a nation at war with itself – the whole "brother against brother" dynamic that is recalled whenever discussions of this conflict arise. One less common aspect of our Civil War (as compared to other nations that have endured civil wars) is that America was geographically divided at the time by the Mason-Dixon line, which...

I had the opportunity very recently to have an extended conversation with a young gentleman who officially became a U.S. citizen just over a month ago. He claimed that he had always felt he “belonged here,” took the first opportunity to come to the U.S. presented to him and “never looked back.” He worked all sorts of jobs, traveled all over the country and met people from every socioeconomic sector and demographic. Coming from a country where the citizens have substantially less opportunity than in America and a more or less homogenous population, there were many things he still found...

Exclusive: Erik Rush asks how far a 'naked communist' must go before he's exposed For quite a while now, I’ve referred to President Barack Obama as a communist – not a progressive (which he has said he is), a liberal or a socialist – but a communist. It only made sense, given that the man was bred, raised and mentored by communists, employed and was employed by communists, eagerly fraternized with communists and diligently studied communism throughout his entire adult life. Even if one ignores his life before political office, there’s certainly enough remaining evidence of Obama’s communistic bent, most...

WASHINGTON – A bizarre and baffling condition has seized American society and is spreading in pandemic proportions. But no one dare utter its name because this sickness is rooted in the most vulgar of four-letter words: race. So charges a new book by author Erik Rush, who doesn't refrain from using the new N-word – Negrophilia – "undue and inordinate affinity for blacks," to describe the mindset that he says is behind a pervasive manipulation expertly employed and exploited to divide and destroy American society.

<p>By perpetuating "negrophilia," which Rush describes as an "undue and inordinate affinity for blacks," whites, fearing a brand of racism, shy from frank commentary about race.</p> <p>"Negrophilia" has confused concepts of charity and infected public policy to disastrous effect – particularly for the black community, Rush says.</p>

How many Americans would vote for a presidential candidate who was the member of a church that professed the following credo? 1.  Commitment to God 2.  Commitment to the White Community 3.  Commitment to the White Family 4.  Dedication to the Pursuit of Education 5.  Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence 6.  Adherence to the White Work Ethic 7.  Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect 8.  Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness” 9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community 10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening...

Due in part to the cyclical nature of news and in part to the news media’s objectives, we’ve been exposed to a great deal lately concerning pre-war intelligence, the border with Mexico, Supreme Court nominees, outed intelligence operatives and secret CIA dungeons. Something that’s still rather fresh in my mind is Hurricane Katrina, and I’ll tell you why: It was a quintessential stratagem, a two-pronged (the media and politicos on the Left) attack reflecting the Left’s agenda with respect to Black Americans (institutional undereducation, propagandization, and the culture of victimhood being among these) and other designs to alienate Blacks from...
