John Allen on Pope Francis and Islamic Dialogue

Last updated on: May 25, 2016 at 12:31 pm By Dave Griffey

As usual, Mr. Allen comes in with some balanced and fair insights regarding the recent meeting between Pope Francis and Ahmed el-Tayeb. I only have one thing to add. The question of what el-Tayeb meant when he said the violence in the Middle East is not really a Christian problem, but a general problem. There has been speculation on that, and several I’ve read have been wondering how he could miss the obvious. Again, I don’t know for sure, but I have... Read more

Since the Left thrives on hypocrisy

Last updated on: May 24, 2016 at 1:15 pm By Dave Griffey

And by that, I mean the Secular Left, which is really just saying the damp wetness – since the Left thrives on hypocrisy, we have stories like this. A non-profit art museum will, once again, step out with courage to mock … Catholics. At least the Catholic Mass. It was a testimony to the cleverness of the Left, and the dumb of the traditional Christians in America, that we accepted this double standard. We accepted the premise that if a... Read more

Happy Birthday Professor Dawkins

Last updated on: May 24, 2016 at 9:12 am By Dave Griffey

Or at least, happy birthday to the Selfish Gene, his little brain child in the endless attempt by atheists to solve the reality equation without that substantial variable known to many around the world as God. Still, he’s made his millions and brought up an entire generation of atheists to demonstrate the fact that everyone must worship something, since worship is in our God breathed DNA. Read more

Fuzzy Fonts

Last updated on: May 24, 2016 at 5:25 am By Dave Griffey

So a visitor said that the fonts on my blog appear fuzzy on his mobile device. Any suggestions? Also, apparently – and I can’t see this myself – the comments require a Word Verification. I thought I had disabled that, but it looks like I merely took away my ability to see it on the comments section. Is there a way to completely rid myself of that meddling Word Verification? Thanks for any input! Read more

Unpacking the dumb

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 5:43 pm By Dave Griffey

John C. Wright continues his broadside against the unprecedented dumb being hammer into our brains by our education systems, our media, and with the help of President Obama, our federal government. It’s almost so stupid, I think we were caught off guard. And yet, it’s not just stupid, but it’s set to become the law of the land. And unless you bow and accept stupid, proclaim stupid, and are prepared to join in persecuting any others who challenge stupid, you... Read more

The way it is in politics today

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 4:55 pm By Dave Griffey

Is demonstrated by the fact that the two least liked candidates in America, who are about the only ones capable of losing to the other one, are the two nominees brought to us by the two major political parties in our nation. The only question remaining is which one will prove to be the least popular. Right now Donald Trump is the least liked candidate. But Hillary Clinton, in keeping with the Democratic party’s ability to snatch defeat from the... Read more

Resist the Tyranny

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 2:59 pm By Dave Griffey

Again, a reminder that the entire Gay Rights movement and subsequent ‘Transgenders pick a bathroom’ movement has absolutely zilch to do with Gay Rights or the ability of Transgender individuals to pick their favorite bathroom. It’s a ploy, a tool, a weapon being used to crush the last remnants of the Judeo-Christian heritage of Western Civilization and its bastard child America. As long as we do nothing, cases like Barronelle Stutzmen’s will become the norm, not the exception. Read more

Courtesy of Theodore Dalrymple, by way of Nate Winchester: “Political correctness is the means by which we try to control others; decency is the means by which we try to control ourselves.” Read the entire piece here. I can add no more to what was said. Read more

The legacy of Capitalism

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 10:12 am By Dave Griffey

Is mused upon here. So I’m a pack-rat. Not because of sentimental reasons. My wife is a sentimentalist. She keeps things because of various emotional attachments. I think I do so out of conditioning. When I was growing up, my parents moved. Not because they had to, but because they wanted to. It was a glaring blot on an otherwise pretty impressive parental resume. We would move into a house. Stay a couple years. Dad would fix it up, make... Read more

Pope Francis is wrong

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 7:00 am By Dave Griffey

Sometimes when I hear Pope Francis, I wonder what world he is talking about. If he isn’t a liberal Catholic child of Marxist inspired Latin American liberation theology, he keeps coming across as one. And even if the endless legions of Francis apologists will descend upon the Internet en masse to correct the liberal interpretations and tell us, once again, what Pope Francis really meant, I can’t help but notice the Left is more than happy to accept the initial meanings...
