Just when you thought it was safe to discount the Leftist Juggernaut

Last updated on: May 5, 2016 at 10:47 am By Dave Griffey

A new era opens up in which it becomes a potential “Hate” crime to suggest there is such a thing as two genders. I’m still searching to see if there is more to the story, like the employee in question is really a serial killer or has a history of cavorting with the KKK or neo-Nazis. Though note well: Already I have to assume there is something wicked and evil about this individual who has proclaimed boy and girl. The... Read more

Why Trump?

Last updated on: May 5, 2016 at 10:21 am By Dave Griffey

The American Catholic has a few thoughts. I agree on almost every point. I would add that, early on, many ignored Trump altogether. Even when reports emerged that he had said some racist or sexist thing that ought to outrage all voters. After all, Conservatives and those who hold to traditional values are used to hearing anyone not liberal accused of being a racist or a sexist. A bit of the ‘boy who cried wolf” syndrome there. I’ll admit, when... Read more

What I learn from Orthodox Christians

Last updated on: May 5, 2016 at 6:00 am By Dave Griffey

Over the last year, starting with a young woman I worked with who was dating a Serbian Orthodox fellow, I have come to know several Orthodox Christians. One is a sub-deacon, a certain variation on the office of the diaconate that appears common in the Orthodox tradition. One is an Orthodox priest, though a convert from the Episcopal Church. There are many things I’ve picked up on, and they are quite new to me. I won’t list them all. But... Read more

And then there was one

Last updated on: May 4, 2016 at 9:43 am By Dave Griffey

Well, one and a quarter I should say. John Kasich, who is running fourth in a two man race, is staying in for the heart and soul of a GOP he seems willing to compromise himself, but not in the manner of Trump. He seems to be wavering between admired man of principles and joke. But Trump now emerges as the presumptive nominee of the Grand Old Party. At this point we’ll see if Mark Shea and other skeptics were... Read more

Columbus Ohio votes for discrimination

Last updated on: May 3, 2016 at 5:30 am By Dave Griffey

Discrimination against people who hold to traditional Christian values that is. As the Left settles into the easy chair of victory and begins the next stage of mop-up operations, our dear political hub of Buckeye Country makes it clear that there is no room in this country for people who still cling to a traditional Christian understanding of morality. Oh sure, if you are willing to change and convert to the Leftist gospel, you’re OK. For now. Until the next... Read more

Whenever I listen to Donald Trump

Last updated on: April 29, 2016 at 9:48 am By Dave Griffey

I think of nothing so much as this: So last night I watched Trump give some speech somewhere. I missed where. I don’t care enough to find out. It doesn’t matter. During his rambling, he was explaining the evil of Isis. I assumed Isis since he mentioned beheading. Then he went on to say that not since the Middle Ages has anyone beheaded? Maybe? To be honest, I wasn’t sure what point he was trying to make since half the... Read more

An interesting article on stopping abortion in England

Last updated on: April 28, 2016 at 4:00 am By Dave Griffey

Just for fun. It’s NBC News, so the bias obviously will be for abortion. And yet it does seem to give a fair amount of time to Mr. Cunningham. This is part of the whole wave against abortion that has been rising for some time. Especially among those all important youngsters. For reasons not quite clear, younger people are ditching traditional religions, embracing all that the sex and drugs culture has to offer, and yet digging their heals in when... Read more

It isn’t the silly names for the school that bother me

Last updated on: April 27, 2016 at 7:52 am By Dave Griffey

It’s that the school system, which is supposed to be about education, is jumping on the PC call for anti-racist blacklists that does nothing so much as dumb down the national conversation about race. The fact is, Robert E. Lee’s views on slavery were, in the day, more liberal than many around him. Though his writings indicate the common notion of the day that blacks were inferior and that they were better off in America than Africa, he also made it... Read more

Promoting our modern Big Brother

Last updated on: April 26, 2016 at 5:30 am By Dave Griffey

Thinly disguised as offended PC sensitivity warriors. John C. Wright does the take down here. Yep. I’ve said already that much of the modern Left is about convincing us that 2+2=4 is hate speech, must be punished, and those who insist on resisting the new math are the baddies. Why? Because if you want to follow the basic trend of most Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment era revolutions by setting up a Despotic government where liberty and Utopia were promised, and furthermore...

Time to end the liberal juggernaut

Last updated on: April 25, 2016 at 5:00 am By Dave Griffey

Because with all due respect to Robert Altman’s son, suicide is painful. Both for individuals and for societies. It is one of the most horrible crimes a person can commit. And yet, it is becoming all too common in our liberal dominated world of affirming our awesomeness and promising no more skinned elbows. This could come as a shock to some, but suicides in the US have increased a staggering 24%. That’s a huge increase since 1999. Especially when you... Read more
