America is Under Attack
This article was originally posted in the Heritage Foundation’s The Daily Signal, under the pseudonym Johnny Cochran. I wish I knew who the real author is, because I believe what whoever he/she has written and more. I truly believe we are every bit as much at war as we were during WWII, and the dangers are every bit as great as they were during those times. Please read and send me any comments you might have.
I’m back!
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. I’ve been busy going in many different directions. But lately, I’ve been feeling the need to get back to posting on the website and in Facebook. The following is my latest “essay.”
I wanted to respond to a Heritage Foundation article I read on the place of religion in conservatism. Continue reading “I’m back!”
Book Review: The Red Thread, by Diana West
I just read and re-read this slim book and found it fascinating. I had to order it by inter-library loan. But it’s well worth it, if you want to get more insight on what’s going on behind the scenes in our present society. You can read my review by clicking on the link.
Nationalism and Xenophobia
Had to respond to a Colombian news video I was sent this morning, that said nationalism is caused by xenophobia. Un, I don’t think so! Not necessarily. Continue reading “Nationalism and Xenophobia”
Isaiah’s Job
Today while listening to a speech by Tom Woods, he mentioned how Ron Paul believed in speaking to “the remnant,” which was a reference to the words of the prophet Isaiah (the apostle Paul spoke of it too.) Woods referred to an essay by a man named Albert J. Nock, entitled “Isaiah’s Job” which Ron Paul apparently mentioned. I found it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMqAHv5kO-Q
It really spoke to me as something very pertinent for our day. So I recommend it to you. But in case you don’t want to listen to the whole thing, I’ve typed up my paraphrase of the part that most got my attention here below. I think if you read it, you’ll see the point it made to me… Continue reading “Isaiah’s Job”
Take Paradise; Put up a parking lot!
So Adam and Eve, we’re told, were in Paradise, the Garden of Eden. It was a wonderful place, an ideal place. They had everything they could’ve wanted.
But one day a snake sowed discontent into their minds, and they began to see negatives where there really were no negatives. God had only and always given them the best and done the very best for them. But they began to think He wasn’t that great after all. He was keeping things from them. He didn’t want them to eat from one particular tree, because that would make them gods, like Him. Continue reading “Take Paradise; Put up a parking lot!”
Background Info on Blasey-Ford
Saw this clip today and I wasn’t exactly surprised, but at the same time, I thought knowing this background info just really brought to light the reality of the recent Kavanaugh hearings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFL6k5yOAFM&fbclid=IwAR3K8LlXuaCLku-57TSBIocaWgGcXEEDX4jkyQa7O0Krven9sy-noZXbXIw
Thoughts from Thomas Sowell
So often, politicians pick up on themes the public is clamoring about, and exploit them in order to promote themselves. They play to the ignorance of the masses (you and me), to get votes, but really, what they propose is often misguided. Thomas Sowell points out that we really shouldn’t be focused on good intentions or nice-sounding promises. Instead, we need to focus on results. What will really come of a proposed policy?
