What the Church teaches

Last updated on: June 9, 2016 at 11:14 am By Dave Griffey

Is not that “Drunk chicks have it coming.’ It teaches that chicks shouldn’t get drunk in the first place. There is an entire, and I mean big, section of the Catholic Church in America that dabbles its feet in the Sex and Drugs culture in which we live. No, they don’t condone actual penetration or anything. But when it comes to our modern era, they are much happier cozying up to the sex and drugs and pseudo-porn of the... Read more

Yep

I don’t usually go in for editorial cartoons. Usually that is. Every now and then, however, one hits the nail on the head: I’d say that’s about right. The media, not the electorate, now controls the nomination process. Read more

The Stanford Rape Case

Last updated on: June 9, 2016 at 7:30 am By Dave Griffey

All over I hear outrage regarding the light sentence given to a young man accused of rape. Not that he was found innocent. That he didn’t have the book thrown at him is the problem. With this, it shouldn’t be surprised that charges of racism and sexism are flying like bullets. Reminders that we are still, as we always have been, a racist, sexist, bigoted nation: And yet, consider this. Who has been told for the last month or so... Read more

Good for him

Last updated on: June 9, 2016 at 5:27 am By Dave Griffey

Sander blasphemes the media narrative by suggesting he won’t cave and bow before the altar of Hillary. You know, I’d almost be willing to vote for Bernie at this point, just to spite the media. After the most flagrant case of coordinated falsehood in order to advance an agenda that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, the media deserves to have its pet candidate defeated. Especially when that candidate shouldn’t be within a hundred miles of the winner’s circle to... Read more

Could someone please explain what is going on?

Last updated on: June 8, 2016 at 8:18 am By Dave Griffey

So the headlines broke early yesterday that Hillary made history by clinching the nomination. Of course it was a ploy by the media. More on that later. This morning, the headlines are bristling with excitement as they proclaim that, as a result of the primaries, Hillary made history by clinching the nomination. And yet, as of now, nothing has really changed: She still needs the Super Delegates to make the numbers, which is no different than it was yesterday morning.... Read more

News media elects Hillary Clinton

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 10:28 pm By Dave Griffey

In one of the most flagrant cases of media manipulation of the electorate I have ever witnessed, every major national media outlet declared Hillary Clinton to be the official nominee of the Democratic party today, this morning, before polls opened. This had the desired effect. Even in states where Sanders was going to be competitive, or even win, he got trounced. Why not? If casual observers – and much of the electorate is and will remain casual observers – go by and see the... Read more

How to know you are an ideologue or partisan

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 1:09 pm By Dave Griffey

If you find out that, contrary to popular narratives, Islamic Terrorists killed almost 30,000 people in 2015, and can only see it as a chance to attack American gun rights advocates, to quote the great Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a partisan. For me, the eye opener was that the site Religionofpeace.com is apparently far closer to the truth than the dominant media narrative, which suggests fewer people die from terrorist strikes than are killed by lightening. I realize that... Read more

Say goodbye to freedom

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 12:47 pm By Dave Griffey

Come this July 4th, you might want to consider where you expect the flag to fly in years to come. According to a November Pew Research poll, a whopping 40% of millennials are fine with the government censoring speech that is deemed ‘offensive’ to minorities. Note that. How one defines offensive, and just what constitutes a minority, is not some agreed upon concept. Nonetheless, with no clear definitions, according to Pew Research, millennials are sure that the right people... Read more

Bing or Google?

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 10:53 am By Dave Griffey

Donald McClarey points out a glaring difference between the two. Google is well known for its preference for radical, Marxist inspired anti-Christian and anti-American activists, as well as its reluctance to give a nod to anything close to what most Christians or Americans would think is important. Bing, about which I know little, apparently has its priorities more in line with what traditional American, and possibly even Christian, citizens might like. I don’t know to be honest. But I do...

Seeing the priorities of our new society

Last updated on: June 6, 2016 at 10:58 am By Dave Griffey

The results are in, and it doesn’t look good for our post-Christian society. It turns out that the coverage of the Great Gorilla Catastrophe of 2016 received six times the coverage from media outlets as the beheading of Coptic Christians did a year ago. That’s still not the amount of coverage that Donald Trump or the Ferguson riots received, but it’s good to know where the media’s priorities are. Have I mentioned that I believe anyone who gets their understanding of the... Read more
