Mom was wrong

Last updated on: March 13, 2016 at 9:28 am By Dave Griffey

Apparently two wrongs do make a right. The always wonderfully articulate TM Lutas explains. I’m the first to say Trump deserves some blame for the problems he’s gotten himself into. I have to admit, Hillary is correct. When you play with matches, you might just start a fire you can’t control. Unfortunately, in many ways Trump is the fire that decades of liberal disdain for good old fashion common sense and common values has gotten us. Remember, these are the same liberals... Read more

To those who are outraged at the Trump culture

Last updated on: March 12, 2016 at 11:07 am By Dave Griffey

Please note. If you are sending around partisan posts that include memes from Daily Kos, featuring the crusade to boycott Rush Limbaugh, you are part of the problem. Daily Kos is nothing other than a radical leftist version of the worst of Right Wing media. Either renounce them all, or learn to accept them all and work with what we have. As long as we turn blind eyes and ears to sources we agree with that are about the very... Read more

I would blame Trump entirely

Last updated on: March 11, 2016 at 10:35 pm By Dave Griffey

If this was the only time I’ve seen this happen. As it stands, I think Trump and the culture he has fostered deserves some of the blame. But make no mistake, there is no greater threat to freedom or no movement more dedicated to eradicating the free exchange of ideas in an open and Democratic society than the modern Left. This scene is playing out more and more, and increasingly with support from the institutions of authority in our country.... Read more

Fair enough

Last updated on: March 11, 2016 at 3:28 pm By Dave Griffey

An article of repentance for the Trump phenomenon. I won’t say that Conservatives, Republicans, and Christians don’t share responsibility for the specter of Trump in the White House. Democrats and liberals and the media and Obama and Clinton and on and on do as well. Trump, as my boys rightly say, belongs to the 21st Century American Facebook generation. Nonetheless, there are good point to be made in the article. The best is calling out that strange tendency Conservatives have... Read more

And they should be worried

Last updated on: March 11, 2016 at 3:01 pm By Dave Griffey

It’s unlikely that the attack was some random event that had nothing to do with this being an Arabic television outlet. It could be. But best to assume that the attacker had other motives, and that could help track down the suspect and thwart other attempts at violence. See how easy it is? So next time a Muslim or Muslim convert walks into an office and opens fire in the name of Islam to honor the Prophet, can we stop... Read more

The Huffington Post is good enough to demonstrate

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

What I was referring to here. Notice the shock, the awe, that indignation that Conservative Catholics could – horror of horrors! – prefer the Trumpster over their own beloved, wonderful Pope! Yeah, I’m a little bothered by that myself, assuming it is true as stated. But I was no less bothered by Catholics on the other side of the aisle that, by the same description in the article, apparently preferred Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama, or any one of a... Read more

I love history

Last updated on: March 11, 2016 at 11:30 am By Dave Griffey

Not the stuff you see discussed on Cable News, many Facebook pages, or in 83.4% of the books in the “History” section of Barnes and Noble. I mean real history. Studying the texts, examining the source material, gleaning from multiple historians past and present. Which is why it’s always a joy to read the history posts over at The American Catholic. Take this one. I admit, I’ve not spent much time reading or studying the Confederate Constitution. It just... Read more

You mean we can criticize Pope Francis?

Last updated on: July 10, 2016 at 7:52 pm By Dave Griffey

Wow, I never imagined. In a splendid piece over at Crux, we’re reminded that it’s actually OK to disagree with the Pope. Sure, if the Pope says there is a God and you object, it might be time to consider rethinking your faith walk. But not everything the Pope says is ex cathedra, and not every person who disagrees with the Pope is a Church hating, Jesus hating heretic. That’s not to say there aren’t those who disagree with Pope... Read more

Democratic attempt to stop religious liberty bill is defeated

Last updated on: March 11, 2016 at 9:56 am By Dave Griffey

Well done Mighty MO GOP. Remember, there is a darn good reason that most non-liberals are highly skeptical of the new ‘Socialism – what could go wrong?’ fad. The tendency of the Left to come clean about its contempt for the right to not be liberal is getting more flagrant with each passing day. It’s nice to know there are still some out there fighting the fight. Read more
