Let’s get this right out of the way – this is NOT a post advocating racial segregation or white supremacy – it is commentary designed to generate thoughtful conversation through real world examples. That said, here we go: “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” That’s Herb Stein’s Law. Stein was, of course,…
I wanted to share something that has been on my mind since last week. Strangely, as the last few days have passed, it has brought me both peace and strength. I believe in God. I do struggle with organized religion – Religion, Inc. – with its mega-churches and deified pastors but thanks to the small,…

This may be the most difficult thing I have ever tried to write. It is difficult because the subject at hand is breaking my heart, but also because I have neither the writing skills nor the moral authority with which to write it. On a personal level,…

I have drawn a great deal of criticism for asserting my conviction that the LGBT community suffers more from a psychological disorder than an accident of genetics. But what else would you call a political agenda that attacks the very people who make their existence possible? Isn’t…
Years ago, I read a book called the Jungle. This story exposed the child labor in America, and the lack of laws to prevent a kid from being eaten by a rat. By my reckoning, kids are being eaten by a new kinda rat; that of the Demorat persuasion. Today, I called to a few…

Last week, the oligarchy we once called The Supreme Court asserted the pretense that they could redefine marriage by decreeing a ‘right’ to ‘gay’ marriage in the Constitution. Setting aside the fact that none of this is true, I find myself presented with an excellent opportunity to…

Last week, the men and women who sit in the building that once housed the Supreme Court of the United States completed the Second American Revolution. I know that very few will see it this way, but this is because we live in a time when people refuse…
I oppose gay marriage – I support gay unions in a legal sense but a legal contract can never be marriage. When my wife and I met with our pastor prior to getting married, we were clearly told that our union was tripartite – between she, me and God. What God has blessed, let no…
How many of your history teachers taught you about the Great Emancipator’s plan to ship the freed slaves off to colonies in Africa? Very few, I would assume. None of mine did. Colonization was a popular answer to the issue of what to do with freed slaves. l know that some people in the GOP…

One of the primary reasons I hear skeptics give for not believing in God is that there is no ‘proof’ He exists. I wish they would read the Bible. If they knew it, they would see the signs everywhere — especially today. Now, understand, most of what…

Or, in more direct terms: Don’t pee on my head and try to tell me it’s raining! You cannot change the meaning of something by redefining it. This does not change the nature of whatever you are trying to redefine; all you do is create a new…
Yesterday, there was a lot of hubbub about the SCOTUS ruling. Gays were taunting Christians everywhere I went. Personally, I don’t care who marries who (or is it who marries whom?) so long as we separate church and state. Plays both ways, right? A while back ago, I saw in the news that the boy…

I want you to stay with me through this post. I am going to try to show you something that most of cannot see. But I want to start by telling you it is not that we are incapable of seeing it, but because the things we…

The idea of ‘Justice” rests upon something we call ‘the rule of law,’ and the rule of law rests upon the written word. The written word is governed by laws, Natural Laws. However, there is a group of people who have a mental disability. These people are known…

I keep hearing people proudly proclaiming that gay marriage is now a civil right. It reminds me of a line in the movie, “Princes Bride:” But there is a twist. Yes, gay marriage is a ‘civil’ right, but then, so was slavery! If this offends you, that’s…

To my Republican friends: did you notice Rush finally came right out and said I have been right for years: we only have one Party pretending to be two? Yes, if you listened to Limbaugh’s radio show today, he flat-out said that we have not had an…
I am re-blogging this for our friend, Vlad. However, I feel compelled to offer my own opinion that the GOP is actually part of the problem — NOT the solution. They are working to support Obama every bit as much as Obama is supporting ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Why would liberty ever look to tyranny —…

I am well aware that this is a very controversial subject. I am not asking you to accept what I am going to share with you in this post. I am just asking you to read it and consider my argument. The Book of Revelation talks about…
“. . . And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.” Justice Scalia. With the compass of “justice & reason” and a career dedicated to upholding our…
