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, […]

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 […]

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. […]

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.
