On Freedom of Speech in the United States
Perhaps one of the most enduring things where the United States is concerned is its founding documents. Many have called, for example, the United States Constitution all but—if not—a miraculous document. I’m not entirely sure I would go that far. What I would say, however, is that the Constitution is in many ways a marvelous […]

My Own of Course — Whose Ideas Do You Support?
I have to be entirely honest, I have zero idea how much of the time I sound big headed, conceited, whatever you choose to call it. It’s not so much that I don’t care, as that: I’m pretty well convinced that people will assume you’re conceited for nothing more than that you disagree with their […]

The Result of Riots
Here’s the reality. Someone did something bad or wrong, you’re upset (maybe irate). That is understandable. Let’s look at how one responds though. Allow me to present a simple scenario. Your daughter fails a critical test, how do you respond? Do you deal with your daughter, or do you spank and ground some kid you […]

On Failure and Its Relationship to Success
Anybody who has ever spent time scribbling on a pad, or typing at a keyboard in a vain attempt to convey some idea is likely fully aware that what he or she is saying has been said before. It’s even possible that those saying what he or she is saying in his or her current […]

On the PragerU Video that Follows the Post
So I’m watching this video from PragerU (with whom I tend to agree about ninety percent of the time—maybe a bit more), and I’m somewhat astounded—but not for the reasons the presenter might imagine. I started to share the video, which overall, I still think to be quite good, since it presents a perspective I […]

On Left Versus Right Wing
It seems to me that a good many people are confused as to what Left and Right wing “look like” and, as a result, what political ideologies fall where on the “left versus right scale.” I would like, with this article, to talk just a little bit about how I understand things, so that others […]

On Science and the Scientific Method
One of the saddest and scariest things I have seen in the course of my life, is the patently absurd abuse of science and the scientific process by people wanting to bend reality to fit their will. The first error that many make where science is concerned, is the assertion that science is supposed to […]

On Pregnancy and the Sanctity of Human Life
In my previous article, I took the time to dispel some myths about the sanctity of human life and how Conservatives are wont to see it. I consider that to have been important to do, but not as important as what I feel the need to address in this article. Though the prior article made […]

On Conservatism and the Sanctity of Human Life
In many senses, perhaps one of the WORST places from which to garner information is Facebook. There are worse, you could choose to gather information from Twitter. High on the list as well, would be mainstream “news” outlets. The reasons for Facebook and definitely for Twitter make them much worse even than the mainstream media […]

On Impartiality—What About It?
I remember a good many times when I was a great deal younger, various folks talking about the concept of impartiality where media (and particularly journalism) was concerned. And for a very long time, I was right there with them. I felt that, at some point, there was some sort of “breakdown” that had occurred, […]
