  • On the Foolishness of Race Among Humans – Guglflaarb

    Guglflaarb. That’s right! You heard me correctly. I said Guglflaarb! “What on Earth,” you ask, “is Guglflaarb?” Wait, you mean you really don’t know? Well, in that case, permit me to enlighten you. Guglflaarb is best defined as, “The rectitude of the left side of your aura under a full moon.” Among humanity, there are […]

  • What Political Conservatism IS NOT

    It doesn’t take a genius to see that people consider different words to have different meanings. In some cases, the differences are a simple matter of misunderstanding, in some, an “intentional skewing” of a give word or expression with the intent to derive some sort of benefit as a result. There are other reasons differences […]

  • Rectitude Versus Popularity

    Of all the considerations that plague modern man, one of the most difficult—particularly for the young—appears to be the battle between popularity and rectitude (being correct). For many, the battle may continue much further than their youth. Many seem, in point of fact, to continue to fight the battle for the majority of their days. […]

  • Reality and Truth Versus Dreams and Feelings

    There has been a subject on and off of my heart and mind for some time. I won’t go into details as to why this is the case, rather, I have it in mind to cover the subject itself and let folks work out for themselves the whys and wherefores. The subject is summed up […]

  • My Political “Final Bow”

    I probably have not mentioned it here, but I have pretty much always been a slow learner. Though I’m sure there are more than a few people who will choose to disagree, I tend to “make up for” that by coming out of learning situations with a much stronger understanding than does the average person. […]

  • If You’ve Ever Wondered About the Expression “Indomitable Spirit” – About MSG Roy Benavidez

    Being pretty much a pacifist these days, I really don’t support the idea of military service—even though I spent nine years in the U. S. Air Force. I recognize the right of states to maintain militias, and the intent of the Second Amendment of the U. S. Constitution to support unhindered arming of U. S. […]

  • …but should I post this to LinkedIn

    It’s been said a thousand times before, but I’m going to go ahead and post it here one more time. Please think before posting to social media. This is particularly true where LinkedIn is concerned. Let me give LinkedIn posters some “food for thought” concerning why they ought to be careful what they post: Chances are, your boss (present or […]

  • About Hillary Clinton

    I don’t normally talk about things I don’t consider timeless on this blog. I am going to make an exception, but let somebody else do the talking.

  • Another Favorite Video -Immigration, World Poverty and Gumballs

    This is an excellent video come to explaining why mass immigration to the U.S. (or anywhere else) is not the solution to Poverty (or much of anything else).

  • On Doctrinal Purity and Its Relation to Practice in Islam

    I have recently—yet again—been accosted with an argument that can be considered one of the base arguments pertaining to any belief set. The essence of the argument is, “Most people don’t follow the pure base doctrine anyway, so (essentially) the base doctrine is irrelevant.” This post is intended to explain the flaw in this logic—the “fly […]
