The Free Market, Not Progressive High-Mindedness, Brings People Together

By Chuck Roger • May 5th, 2011 12:00 am

By Chuck Rogér After decades of being herded into “diversity” seminars and “sensitivity” training in the workplace as well as mutliculturalist indoctrination throughout the education system, Americans have had their fill of such high-minded but highly impractical nonsense. And in truth, no special “training” brings people closer together than routine activities that satisfy needs. The free [...]

Ideologue-in-Chief Obama Will Continue to Be Bad for Business

By Chuck Roger • November 15th, 2010 2:51 am

Originally in American Thinker, November 13, 2010. President Obama called the Democrats’ November 2 loss of sixty-one House seats a “shellacking.” Yet in a day-after press conference, Obama sported a self-absorbed manner, contrived reflection, and a basic misread of the American people. In a “60 Minutes” interview aired four days later, he denied that voters [...]

This Is Your Brain in a Crock-Pot

By Chuck Roger • September 20th, 2010 7:17 am

Originally in American Thinker, September 18, 2010.  I gotta roll, can’t stand still; got a flaming heart, can’t get my fill. - Led Zeppelin, 1971 Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” lyrics saluted the “if it feels good, do it” culture spawned in the 1960s. Zeppelin had already played to teens’ libidos in 1969 with “Whole Lotta Love” [...]

The Cobalt Blue Left

By Chuck Roger • July 21st, 2010 3:09 am

Originally in American Thinker, July 17, 2010. One morning, twenty-seven years ago, I saw daybreak. It seemed as though a crazy painter had stretched a crazy canvas across my window, for an impossibly intense backdrop framed the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Then the sun floated higher, Santa Fe’s sky ignited, and I was hooked on [...]

Cultural Marxism in Education: The Gathering Revolt

By Chuck Roger • April 21st, 2010 4:01 am

Originally appeared in American Thinker, April 18, 2010. For decades now, American schools corrupted by cultural Marxism have been eroding the moral fiber and judgment skills of schoolchildren. Unless sensible parents and teachers put a stop to the indoctrination, today’s free speech-crippling political correctness, tolerance of immorality, and lack of knowledge of our country’s birth [...]

Welcome to the Machine: Cultural Marxism in Education

By Chuck Roger • March 31st, 2010 4:15 am

Originally in American Thinker, March 27, 2010. Welcome to the machine. What did you dream? It’s alright, we told you what to dream. – Roger Waters  The education machine that keeps churning out newbies conditioned in mind-blunting nonjudgmentalism has laid the groundwork for a left-wing takeover.  What reduced American education to its current state?  In [...]

Progressive tyranny in utopian disguise

By Chuck Roger • February 8th, 2010 10:20 pm

Something has been happening in America for decades under the “enlightened guidance” of progressive politicians, “educators,” and media types. In The Brussels Journal, self-described “voice of conservatism in Europe,” State University of New York English Professor Tom Bertonneau writes of Obama’s agenda: The consequence of “transforming America” (or any other Western nation) will not be [...]

Progressives and their fallacies

By Chuck Roger • January 27th, 2010 3:22 am

Originally appeared in American Thinker, January 22, 2010. Ideology knows no cultural, political, or economic boundaries. Adherents to doctrinaire belief systems—left, right, religious, anti-religious—brush aside evidence that might tempt them to question their beliefs. Yet one critter inhabits a class unto itself: the “progressive,” a creature that drags muddled thought to unexplored depths. An Adam [...]

Waiting for ‘moderate Muslims’ to step forward

By Chuck Roger • December 22nd, 2009 12:19 am

Anyone patiently waiting for “moderate Muslims” to condemn the extremism of literal interpreters of the Q’uran will not be made happy by this analysis by Islam scholar Robert Spencer. Patience and “tolerance” must have limits. And once those limits are exceeded, action must be taken. America has been lulled into passivity, a state of collective mind that [...]

The libertarian heart and mind

By Chuck Roger • December 14th, 2009 2:01 am

I have been trying to articulate the points that Hoover Institution’s Michael Petrilli makes as he explains his thinking on how Republicans can expand their voting base without sacrificing core values. What’s needed is a full-fledged effort to cultivate “Whole Foods Republicans”—independent-minded voters who embrace a progressive lifestyle but not progressive politics. These highly-educated individuals [...]

The ‘racism’ smokescreen

By Chuck Roger • September 23rd, 2009 3:44 am

Google returns 6.4 million hits for “only Whites can be racist.” Many have plumbed the depths of such twaddle—more so recently. To “diversity” consultant Glenn Singleton, Whites are de facto racists because Whites plan ahead, a behavior which mustn’t be expected of non-Whites, who should simply be appreciated for being different. Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Hans [...]

Wicked sawbones cuts off feet while czar enters belly of FCC

By Chuck Roger • August 19th, 2009 3:55 am

President Barack Obama accuses greedy doctors of maiming diabetics. Democrats label people Nazis and un-American for rejecting government health care. Meanwhile, King Hopey-Changey moves against free speech. Recently, attorney Mark Lloyd was appointed Federal Communications Commission Chief “Diversity” Officer. Lloyd’s new boss, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, says that his agency “must ensure that the communications field… [...]

America is great, common sense is good, and liberals are crazy

By Chuck Roger • August 5th, 2009 3:57 am

How’s Hopey-Changey working for you? Barack Obama, perhaps our most dishonest President ever, tells whoppers on health care, “global warming,” “green” jobs, and economic “stimulus.” The President labels police dummies, doctors greedy, businesses under-taxed and overly prosperous, the wealthy stingy, the military mean, our technological progress too rapid for Mother Earth to bear, and America [...]

Seven red flags for the United Socialist States of America

By Chuck Roger • July 15th, 2009 4:00 am

The first article in this series can be found here. Last time we touched on the ideas of two clear thinkers, 20th century Austrian-born economist Friedrich Hayek and 19th century French philosopher and historian Alexis de Tocqueville. Both predicted the temptations to which fairness mongers would succumb if loosed on a democracy receptive to their [...]

Win the mind games or lose the country

By Chuck Roger • April 15th, 2009 4:19 am

  “Nice rhinoceros,” I say to the guy at the bar holding the heavy-duty leash. “Uh-huh.” “Does he bite?” “No, but he’ll ram the hell out of you.” Bill Cosby, maestro of anecdotal humor, tells stories with an appealing realness. This variant of an old routine reminds us that life’s largest facts have a way [...]
