Getting to know the modern unpeople

Last updated on: July 8, 2016 at 11:18 pm By Dave Griffey

Who are these modern unpeople? Increasingly they are those people whose lives and testimonies do not validate the Leftist narrative. So, for existence, they are the other 24,000 Americans who are murdered or commit suicide each year, but not by gunfire. Thus you never hear about them. Some people are actually shocked to hear that statistic. They have heard the 33,000 figure so often they just assume that those are the only fatalities through violence we have in a year....

A free predication about the Brexit vote

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 4:06 pm By Dave Griffey

Courtesy of my sons: The media, anxious to keep one of Obama’s political subordinates in the White House, will blame any negative news about terrorism, the economy, or anything else on the Brexit vote. The economy begins to slow going into the election? Why, that’s because of the Brexit vote (that Trump supported). Uptick in terrorist attacks or breakdowns in security? Why, that’s because of the Brexit vote (that Trump supported). And general destabilization across Europe or floundering stability here... Read more

Some takes on the Brexit Vote

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 3:03 pm By Dave Griffey

I’m not British, more’s the pity. Though I am a bit of an anglophile, that tends to stop where my celebration of the United States begins. Plus, I’ve always been a bit more Roman than Saxon if you take my meaning, so there. Nonetheless, I can’t ignore the impact of this vote. Nor can I speak intelligently to the results or the causes. I’m not British. It’s like listening to Brits try to explain the complexities of the American... Read more

I adore stories like this

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 11:24 am By Dave Griffey

It reminds you that we treat bad news the way we treat place crashes and mass shootings. That is, we focus on it way out of proportion of the day to day good that happens. Not that we shouldn’t focus on bad things mind you. But we should never forget the good that happens when people are left to do what people are capable of doing. A little reminder that deep down inside of everyone is still that divine spark... Read more

In other news, US Bishops are shocked the Obama administration upholds limits on Religious Liberty

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 8:00 am By Dave Griffey

That’s right, the Bishops have said that it’s shocking the Obama administration refused to go after California for mandating abortion coverage. For reasons not quite clear to your humble host, the Bishops continue to embrace almost every policy ideal, strategy, and narrative of the liberal Democratic party, and yet are gobsmacked when the Left turns against them. And furthermore, they seem to trust Obama and his administration in so many areas like immigration, health care, gun control, economic regulations, civil... Read more

The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 7:33 am By Dave Griffey

Not really anything to do with religion or much to comment on. Quite frankly, it’s impossible to know what impact it will have down the road. I’m sure it will be something. It’s just interesting that those rascally Brits are at it again. Throughout the history of Europe, England has always been just one step off and to the side. Even the history of the Church in the West can be divided between the Church and the West, and the... Read more

Donald Trump’s speech

Last updated on: June 23, 2016 at 2:58 pm By Dave Griffey

The one he gave yesterday that has been eviscerated by the media as, armed with tweezers and a microscope, journalists set out to find anything and everything that is wrong with what he said.* Nonetheless, he laid out a strong case against Hillary Clinton, which isn’t hard to do. The fact that you have Donald Trump, one of the most disastrously unelectable candidates in political history, barely outside the margin of error shows that you have serious problems if you’re...

Attention gun control Democrats

Last updated on: June 23, 2016 at 10:15 am By Dave Griffey

When you admit that the Orlando shooting was an Islamic terror attack, then we’ll talk. When you continue to have Muslims kill innocent Americans in the name of their faith and fealty to Islamic terrorist organizations, and yet insist there is no way to know their motives or no reason to look at Islamic terrorism, then my ears are shut. That’s because it is clear that you have not a whit of desire to actually solve the problems, protect Americans,... Read more
