Diversity In The Civil War Era Army

A new Civil War book investigates the effects of diversity within army units. For example, research reveals more loyalty (as shown by lower levels of desertion) among companies with less diversity.

Facts like that are commonsensical, but multicultural ideology seeks to turn reason upside down and convince us that "diversity is our strength" and similar nonsense.

Our gigantic trade deficit must, obviously, fall. It would be a lot nicer if part of the decrease consisted of America exporting more rather than just importing less. How can the government help? Well, one way is for the U.S. to stop being the Dudley Do-Right of international business. From an article by Don Lee in the Los Angeles Times:

Obama's Stimulus Bill

Like I’ve been saying all along, exciting mass transit infrastructure projects have proven to be largely incompatible with the notion of “stimulus.”
