“Frustration is a persistent feeling for those of us who study and record the horrors of 20th century communism, as we see those horrors ignored repeatedly by our illustrious ‘scholars’ in the academy—and by people who erect statues to Stalin on American soil. … Can’t we learn anything from history? If Russians today can deconstruct the legacy of lies erected by Stalin to build up himself, then we Americans today can cease to erect monuments to the man on our own soil.”

No, that’s not “Clarence the Angel” of It’s a Wonderful Life fame. The Clarence in this title is much less inspiring, not exactly angelic — a humbug, really. I’m thinking of Clarence Darrow, dogmatic defender of atheists.

“The ACLU seems unusually active right now. What gives? Maybe it’s the Christmas season, which always seems to spring the ACLU into high gear, more miserable than usual. I tried to ignore the latest round of ACLU legal challenges against religious Americans, but they became too much.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.

Professor of political science and executive director of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College—Dr. Paul Kengor—explains, “It also is not a partisan issue.

“The examples are numerous, unrivaled by any president, Democrat or Republican, from the Cold War to War on Terror. To cite one example, Carter’s statements about Kim Jong-Il after a 1994 trip to North Korea defy imagination. Each time I read them, I stare in disbelief….

“As is customary in the days leading up to an election, the campaign rhetoric is getting heated…. Electoral politics in the United States has long been a contact sport, and politicians have a First Amendment right to spin, distort, and even to fabricate ‘facts.’ It is our responsibility as voters to separate fact from fiction. That is what I hope to accomplish here.”
