When liberals are against science, it's ok, because sometimes science is bad.

he could not have been all that bright if he thought he was going to get away with it.

Liberals use science when it suits them. They also attempt to portray scientists are some sort of mystic elders who are infallible and virtuous, covering up their more unpleasant conclusions such as this. Liberals will run to climate scientists who say global warming is real, but will quietly shrug when you mention that the real place you’ll find theories of racial supremacy in America is not rural Mississippi, but the lecture halls of top universities.

Never forget, Margaret Sanger, who libs also love.

This report might not be true. Wade's Wikipedia entry was changed to reflect his firing, with a citation to the Daily Caller article, but was changed again earlier today to state that he is currently with the Times. His publisher's website still shows him as writing for the Times, as does Amazon. I can't find any source for this story except the Daily Caller, and their only basis for this announcement seems to be the fact that TIME referred to him as a former writer for the Times, which could just be an error by TIME.

Also, I'm told by someone who knows Wade that he is not a Times employee but is a semi-retired contributor of occasional pieces. So, they really can't "fire" him, although they can stop publishing his stuff.

So, I would take this with a grain of salt until we learn more.

Leftists attack Christians as “not scientific”, but when the science gores their own ox, they kill the messenger. Remember “The Bell Curve”?

If the facts contradict what is politically correct, the facts be damned.

Forget evolution. Think about how the characteristics of domestic animal breeds can be changed in a single decade through selective cross-breeding. The problem with the whole topic, however, is that - at present - it’s a true dismal science (unlike economics, which is neither truly dismal nor a science). There’s not much that can be done about a person’s essential characteristics once he’s born. Calvin was right, but with genes being the mechanism of divinely-ordained determinism.

Based on their reactions on discussion threads about the book, there are several Freepers who fire him too.

So is it correct to say he’s been “Derbyshired”—or has he been “National Reveiwed”?

I guess we can only have a ‘frank discussion on race’ if we get permission from the PC police first.

All the news that fits we'll print.





They're usually a bit slyer than this, so it could be a fake. Sounds about right, though.

Must silence those we disagree with. Wonder if they would get violent to do so?

If the NYT thinks this fellow’s book deserves censoring, I can hardly wait to see how they react to the books written by that super-rich elitist 1%-er Charles Darwin.

. . . one way or another, “A Troublesome Inheritance” will be historic. Its proper reception would mean enduring fame as the book that marked a turning point in social scientists’ willingness to explore the way the world really works. But there is a depressing alternative: that social scientists will continue to predict planetary movements using Ptolemaic equations, as it were, and that their refusal to come to grips with “A Troublesome Inheritance” will be seen a century from now as proof of this era’s intellectual corruption. - Charles Murray on Nicholas Wade’s “A Troublesome Inheritance”

Jay-Z says that the black man is god.

And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them." - Luke 21:8
