Oh, and another case for Trump

Last updated on: May 27, 2016 at 12:26 pm By Dave Griffey

Is here. That is the wing of the GOP that acts like it wishes the whole religious conservative movement would die and die quickly. The part of the GOP that continually aligns itself against the GOP and American conservatives is as much a reason for Trump as anything under the Sun. That they picked a man who could be even less conservative to save us from the non-conservatives of the GOP just goes to show post-modernity. Read more

A case for Donald Trump

Last updated on: May 27, 2016 at 12:20 pm By Dave Griffey

By John C. Wright. I’ve made it pretty clear that I can’t bring myself to vote for Trump. Not just because of the way he acts and behaves, which I’m happy to say so many bloggers and Internet pundits have finally joined with me to say that such behavior is bad. I’m also not convinced that Trump would do anything he says, or not turn around and embrace the Democrats if elected. His constant denying what he just said or... Read more

Defend the freedom to not be liberal

Last updated on: May 27, 2016 at 8:09 am By Dave Griffey

Another story, reminding us that it isn’t just the Gender Wars that are being used to crush liberty and end freedom in our society. The good old liberal safety net for its sex and drugs bread and circus promise is as good a place as any for ending the right to not be liberal. Stand now, before it is too late. Read more

If you are ever in Ohio

Last updated on: May 27, 2016 at 7:33 am By Dave Griffey

Here are a few places worth stopping by for a bite to eat. The G&R; Tavern is just down the road, and I have yet to go there. Some day. I’m not a big fan of ‘thick meat on sandwiches.’ If I get deli meat sliced, I’ll ask them to cut it paper thin; I’ll say I want to be able to read through it. But those thick bologna sandwiches are known outside of the Buckeye State. Perhaps I’ll break down... Read more

A powerful ability of liberalism

Last updated on: May 26, 2016 at 2:07 pm By Dave Griffey

Is its ability to encourage adherents to be ready to jettison all of the most cherished truths they recently adopted as soon as a newer truth arrives on the scene. So expect hardcore liberal feminists to begin backtracking on some of their dogmas regarding femininity and what it means to be a woman or to break gender stereotypes. Of course not all will, and that’s where you will soon learn about what it takes to be a real woman, and... Read more

Where are the AIDS deaths

Last updated on: May 26, 2016 at 7:05 am By Dave Griffey

Just curious. I got to thinking, as I am wont to do, about the constant drumbeat of gun control advocates: 33,000 killed by guns every year in America. In 2012, 11,000 of those deaths were by murder or violent crime. The rest suicide. That suicide number is tough, because there is no way of knowing if tighter gun laws would reduce suicide. It might. It could go up. We don’t know. Then again, we don’t know if gun regulations would... Read more

Go freedom!

Last updated on: May 25, 2016 at 5:15 pm By Dave Griffey

Not only is this good news in the ongoing fight to preserve the right to not be liberal, but it’s a nice smack down against the Obama administration for using our children as pawns and canon fodder in the Left’s ongoing attempt to impose itself on the United States. We’ll see what comes of it. The fight is an uphill one, and of course it ultimately doesn’t matter. Like the HHS mandate, we can win court cases until the cows... Read more

Remember what I said about Japan apologizing?

Last updated on: May 25, 2016 at 1:29 pm By Dave Griffey

I said it back here. This is what I mean. Key statement in the story: The prime minister, when asked during the press conference whether he would make a reciprocal trip to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, said he had no current plans for a visit. I know it could come off as being petty, to say we will apologize if they apologize. But there is a method here. Again, there is a tendency in non-Western, non-American nations to not blame themselves.... Read more

The Obama Transgender directive

Last updated on: May 25, 2016 at 12:44 pm By Dave Griffey

President Obama advanced the poorly thought out mandate of a values system that has not been vetted through any significant public discourse, based upon science that only recently has changed its own previous understanding of the subject, and for which there is no legal definitions. And this is being done by the heavy hand of the federal government not only mandating conformity to a particular moral standard, but essentially threatening the well being of our children’s education to achieve the end....

God and the Constitution

Last updated on: May 25, 2016 at 12:33 pm By Dave Griffey

And interesting article. When people ask me if I think America was founded as a Christian nation or a secular nation, I always say ‘Yes.’ Especially based on how we define the terms today, those are distinctions of our own making. I have a feeling the Founding Fathers wouldn’t’ easily fit into any of our modern demographics. Read more
