@AdamLowisz@elonmusk Don’t besmirch the good name of honorable colonialists like that. Islam isn’t bad because it’s colonialist; it’s bad because it’s a nasty religion.
It is now the norm to go from Pre-K to PhD without reading a word of Homer, Plato, Virgil, Augustine, or Dante.
If the schools and universities won't teach the great books of the West, we'll do it ourselves.
We're about to start our 13th book at Athenaeum!
Tomorrow is our first (intro) discussion on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
We are an independent group studying the great texts of the Western canon, in dialogue with each other. We want to stay connected with the minds that shaped Western Civilization.

The negative replies to this are hilarious.
“But winter . . .”
Okay, don’t move there then. Problem solved.
“I bet this house doesn’t even have heating . . .”
Yeah, you’re a really bright bulb, aren’t you?
“Tornados . . .”
Hurricanes.
Seriously, if the offer doesn’t interest you, walk away. You don’t have to dump on something that other people like just because you think everyone should care what you say.
I genuinely don’t understand why people don’t sell everything they have, move to Iowa, buy a beautiful old house for next to nothing, and start enjoying a simpler, better, and more affordable life.
This is the PERFECT example of why foreigners should not be allowed to run for office
Zul Mohammed just ran for Mayor of Carrollton, Texas. He’s from Pakistan
“No vet has made any sacrifice. I want to make that clear. I do not support the US military. No, I do not support the United States. I look down on both entities. I want to make that clear”
I can’t think of a better example of why only natural born citizens should be allowed to run for office
Also he is a Muslim, which further enforces the classic “I do not support the United States”
We need new election eligibility laws
I may be ridiculed for saying this. But I feel sorry for him. Not because he was fired by a network that is attempting to return on some level to unbiased journalism. I feel sorry for all these people who are refusing to take responsibility for their obvious partisan takes and opinions causing them to claim things that are unsubstantiated and outright lies.
Trump hired a bunch of chuds to restore the Reflecting Pool, which they did on time and on budget. Liberals are absolutely furious because they don't want voters to see that you can just fix things.
I have debated Bantu "Kill the Boer" South Africans and black "Karmelo was fighting self defense" Americans, and their arguments and attitudes and insults are exactly the same.
How did that happen, if it's just a "culture" thing?
It's the people that are the problem.
“I am really alarmed at the hysteria in this country. It may well be a prelude to mob-rule!… Dons yelling ‘fascist’, at high table, at colleagues who in mild voices venture to disagree with them. What a rot and stink is left by liberalism devoid of religion!”

People clutching pearls when someone use the word "retard" and then advocating for the systemic killing of people with disabilities is a new level of hypocrisy.
Communist women make better wives because they're generally well read and they hate capitalism out of principle so they'll stay home to take care of the kids since they don't want to work.
