Facebook is innocent of wrongdoing

Last updated on: May 21, 2016 at 11:56 am By Dave Griffey

Phew. That was close. Turns out all of the stories about Facebook deliberately suppressing conservative friendly news in its trending section was just the result of some wild and crazy employees. Just like all of the other instances where journalists have been caught lying or making up stories to discredit conservative views, or government agencies have appeared to target conservative agencies. It’s all just a coincidence, or some unfortunate employees, or nothing but a couple incidents that can be explained... Read more

Can you support homosexuality and freedom at the same time?

Last updated on: May 21, 2016 at 8:07 am By Dave Griffey

I’m sure you can. Somehow. But you’d never know it today. So I saw this story and had to do a double take. The eye-opener is this part: A Phoenix law required Brush and Nib to create invitations and other artwork for same-sex wedding ceremonies. It also prevented Brush and Nib from explaining to customers and the public why they could only create art consistent with their beliefs about marriage. And this law did all this through criminal penalties. It... Read more

Communist Christians: A different perspective

Last updated on: May 21, 2016 at 7:00 am By Dave Griffey

It’s common in liberal Christian circles to imagine that the early Church was a socialist paradise, or that the intentions of Jesus were closer to a pseudo-Marxist flavored society than some vile, greed laced Capitalist nightmare. True, Capitalism in the hands of a godless, hedonistic and narcissistic culture will likely prove to be no better than Communism. That’s something advocates of Capitalism and the Free Market must remember. Today, Capitalism embraced by our godless age has turned the best of... Read more

GOP shoots self in foot

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 7:17 pm By Dave Griffey

And demonstrates why so many are sick to death of the GOP and will support anyone, even Donald Trump, as long as he doesn’t represent what the GOP has produced for the last two decades or so. I understand that with abortion proclaimed a Constitutional right that any attempt to curb it will be thrown out by the courts. Liberalism is now the interpretive canvas upon which most legislative and judicial decisions are made. Much in the same way that... Read more

There is a John Lennon Airport?

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 6:56 pm By Dave Griffey

I didn’t know that. I wonder what Paul must think. Or Ringo or the family of George Harrison for that matter. Ah, but John was the prophet of the Boomer generation, and they’re still calling the shots. He gave them their mantra, their holy hymn. He taught them that there is nothing to believe in but me, Yoko and me, that’s reality. That school and education was a bore. And of course, that Jesus was OK, but his disciples were... Read more

Censorship takes a holiday

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 1:53 pm By Dave Griffey

Good to see. While the Left makes unimaginable strides in stripping away the notion that anyone has a right to not be liberal, there occasionally are a few missteps. This is one. Yeah. If a guy has an almost spotless record and is a decorated war veteran, canning him over daring to think and talk like a non-liberal could have consequences. True, this is an editorial on FOX, so it will be brimming with a more Conservative take on the... Read more

More on Pope Francis and the good that comes from judging others

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 11:28 am By Dave Griffey

Is demonstrated here. Again, few popes in modern history have so perfected the art of judging, and doing so brutally, as has Pope Francis. And the Left, that for so many generations insisted that judging was wrong, and subsequently hoisted an endless stream of sins and stupidity on the unsuspecting West as a result, is the first to line up and cheer. Once more this reminds us that it is time to rethink some of those lofty principles that Christians... Read more

Why I will not visit

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 7:30 am By Dave Griffey

Catholic and Enjoying It again is best summed up in this and this. Two links sent to me since I mentioned it was up and running. Personally, I’d rather go to Jack Chick’s blog to learn about Catholicism, or the Friendly Atheist to learn about Christian history. As I said, I don’t care for Donald Trump, and that includes the many imitators out there who might despise Trump, but can’t seem to resist acting like the very things in him... Read more

Meanwhile in other minor news

Last updated on: May 20, 2016 at 5:58 am By Dave Griffey

Making territory grabs and threats are becoming China’s official policy towards the United States. It’s almost mind-boggling how so few nations have any real concern or respect for the United States anymore. Of course liberalism knows this is a good thing. Liberalism believes that the Christian West and its bastard child America are the primary forces of evil and oppression and human suffering in the world. How this will square with what will happen in the future remains to be... Read more
