Benedict XVI Denounces the Absence of “Reason” among the Moslems

The speech given by Pope Benedict XVI on September 12 at the University of Ratisbon (Regensburg) has caused quite a fuss, but how many of those who have commented on it have read it in its original German version and in its entirety? One may well fear that the partial translations readers have been able…

Diagnosis without Cure

The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization, Patrick J. Buchanan, New York, 2002 The title of Pat Buchanan's latest book instantly brings to mind Oswald Spengler's classic two-volume study, The Decline of the West. The similarities between these efforts, however, end with the title. While Spengler's…

Revisionist Meatballs

You know, I was warned early on that there isn't any money to be made in Revisionism. That didn't really bother me, since I was hired on as a clerk, secretary, hired right-hand. I was grateful for the job. But tonight, as our Constitution is still under fire, our President-Elect is still being ignored by…

Holocaust in Palm Beach?

In spite of what their enemies might think, there weren't too many revisionists who were worked up about this year's presidential election. In general, there didn't seem to be any big concern over the fact that Al Gore had picked a Jewish running mate, and even in the immediate aftermath of Election Night there weren't…

Al Gore and the Politics of Denial

Revisionists are used to being made fun of and being called names. The usual epithet these days is “denier” as in “Holocaust Denier.” Of course, revisionists object to the name. They don't feel they are “denying” anything, just this or that aspect of the terrible fate of the Jewish people in World War Two. Indeed,…

When Is a Tree Not a Tree?

This piece illustrates something with startling clarity, a something that is often lost in the vulgar and vicious rhetoric which any hint of holocaust revisionism seems to attract. Which is that the attackers aren't just being nasty, they are responding as any human might if their cultural legacy were one of more than 2,000 years…

The World as a Magical Gas Chamber

The aspects which link modern-day gas to the magic weapons of tales and legends are its invisibility and its supposed omnipotence. Frightening powers are attributed to it, and the terror that its use evokes arises from the impossibility of predicting it. Other substances, equally magical and mysterious, have sprung forth in full force from the…

An Alternative: Criminalize Bigotry

We have found a sensible solution to the highly divisive issue of affirmative action: We can live with dismantling affirmative action if, in exchange, we as a society make the eradication of discrimination our No. 1 priority. We can do this by criminalizating the offense: Deny someone a job, a loan or an education because…
