Roman Catholics: The Original Abolitionists, by Paul Kengor

By Paul Kengor, Crisis Magazine - Very often, the mob engages in bad history, targeting literal saints who sought to protect natives from persecution, such as Saint Junípero Serra, who is being hunted and torn down throughout California. For a downright chilling display, watch the video of a raging mob in Sacramento blowtorching Serra’s face, spray-painting the statue with obscenities, and then pouncing on it with hammers while cheering, chanting, and cursing in the dark of night.

Christ Is the Cure for What Ails Us, by Regis Nicoll

By Regis Nicoll, Crisis Magazine - My mentor, Chuck Colson, once noted that, during the Sixties and Seventies, liberals and conservatives viewed crime and its causes differently. Liberals, thinking crime was caused by poverty, launched the antipoverty programs of the Sixties. The result was that the crime rate went up. Conservatives, believing that crime would be reduced by surer and harsher punishments, instituted the tough prison sentences of the Seventies, only to watch the crime rate go up further.

Rising Diversity Is Joe Biden’s Worry, Too, by Patrick J. Buchanan

By Patrick J. Buchanan - According to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, between 2010 and 2020, while America’s population grew by 20 million, our white population fell for the first time since the 1790 census.... White Americans fell as a share of the population in all 50 states... During that same decade, our Black population grew by 3 million, our Asian population by 4 million and our Hispanic population by 10 million... What’s the significance of those numbers? In presidential elections, Hispanics and Asians vote 70% Democratic and African Americans vote 90%.... Bottom line: The pool of Democratic voters is growing inexorably while the largest pool of potential GOP voters is aging, stagnating and shrinking.

7 Principles of Biblical Warfare to Purge the Cancer of Marxism, by Scott Lively

By Scott Lively, WorldNetDaily - (W)e must be especially scrupulous in what we say and do now because IF, by the reestablishment of the rule of the true law, we are able to purge the cancer of Marxism from our Judeo-Christian civilization, we will retroactively be held to those same higher standards for our speech and actions in the prosecution of that war. So, yes, I am saying Marxism is a cancer that must be removed because it is now clear that our prior policy of peaceful coexistence on equal terms is no longer possible.
