Who is far more into Dr. Who than I am. Except for my oldest boy, who shares my opinion on the subject. Over at A Little Bit of Nothing, we have a discussion of ten episodes with a decidedly religious flavor. Hop into your TARDIS and get going. Even for me, it was an interesting read. Read more

I have no problem with this either

As I said, if Mr. Kaepernick wants to protest the oppression of minorities in our society, have at it. I also have no problem with those who protest his decision, including the police who Mr. Kaepernick’s opinions portray in a rather unflattering way. And if the 49ers choose to support Kaepernick, then they can deal with those who disagree with the team. Not much else to say. People have a right to make a statement. People have a right...

While the world waits with bated breath to see how millionaire athlete Kaepernick’s brave standoff will end, up in the wilds of North Dakota we have another little standoff that, if you think about it, is far more unsettling. Count me as one who thinks Native Americans are about the most shafted group in American history. Don’t get me wrong. I am more conservative than not. That means I don’t see America as some uniquely evil, racist nation that only has hope for... Read more

I had to post this. Watching a Jeopardy rerun tonight, with Chuck Todd, host of Meet the Press, along with Log Cabin Republican S.E. Cupp and novelist Jonathan Franzen as the contestants. Now, let’s assume that we expect the best and brightest of our culture, the ones we turn to for information and opinion, to have a basic grasp. Just basic. They don’t have to be experts on everything. They don’t need the equivalent of a PhD in every conceivable discipline on the... Read more

Homeschool started this week, so until things get swinging, my output will be sporadic. Probably through next week or so. Thanks for everyone who visits and comments. Have a safe and blessed Labor Day and in this crazy world remember what is really important. Be back on Tuesday. TTFN Read more

Georgetown University to give preferential treatment based on genealogy

Read it here. I get it. Slavery was bad. It’s a blight on our heritage. Not because we alone in the world owned slaves. But because of the lofty principles upon which our country was founded. True, slavery was something we inherited from our mother country. True, not everyone – even from the beginning – supported slavery. Nonetheless, a blight on our history it remains. As for reparations, I’m of two minds about that. Perhaps it’s because my wife... Read more

Yes Virginia, there are racists in the American Conservatism. Which stands to reason. I think for Conservatives to deny this is as foolish as any group denying there are bad apples in that group. Where two or more are gathered together, there will be bad apples also. But , like drawing puss from a wound, Donald Trump has drawn out a seedy underside of the Conservative elements in our country. That cannot be denied. It’s best to take a deep breath, admit... Read more
