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.

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 […]

Another Favorite Video: Three Things You Probably Did Not Know About Islam
I don’t agree with all of the conclusions drawn herein about OTHER belief sets (and could explain why this is true), but the point is, this is something one ought to look at. I’m more than willing to hear arguments to the contrary with regard to what is being said here (and would even consider removing it I can […]

Christianity and Politics
I have found myself recently, saying (essentially), “People who know me at all would know this or that about me.” I’m going to do that again now. If you know anything about me at all, you’re aware that I don’t support the political process with either votes, money (at least not by intent) or time […]
