We have the eye-roll-inducing misfortune of finding ourselves fully engulfed within a society where there are not one, but two major societal issues both in the headlines and in-your-face literally everywhere you go.

September 4, 2015 by 49 Comments
Kentucky city clerk Kim Davis is receiving notoriety for standing up for her sincerely held religious convictions by abstaining from issuing same sex marriage lisences.

Is this the most pivotal presidential election of your life?
August 24, 2015 by 4 Comments
A friend asked this question of me today. It brought to memory all the radio and television talk show hosts who proclaim each election cycle that "this election is the most important of your life time". I suppose they aren't wrong. Each new election brings new rippling consequences, all of which … [Read more...]

How the political left views the wealthy summed up
July 14, 2014 by 21 Comments
Today's Dilbert comic strip pretty much sums up how the left views the wealthy. Well, how they view businessmen who are wealthy. You see, they don't hold the same animus toward athletes, music and movie stars that they do toward CEOs. It kind of tells you what they consider work worthy of its wages. … [Read more...]

Women’s birth control is none of your business, but…
July 1, 2014 by 3 Comments
The protesters slamming the Hobby Lobby decision haven't thought through their protest signage, obviously. It seems to be lost on these people that at the same time they claim their sex life/bodies/personal decisions are none of their employer's business, they also seem to think … [Read more...]

Before championing a living wage, you must address this
June 10, 2014 by 1 Comment
I hear a lot of demand for a living wage. Usually as campaign season is coming into swing. The discussion is always steered away from the most important questions.

Liberal memes debunked: welfare irony
May 26, 2014 by 5 Comments
Could this be true? What if it is? I found this on the Facebook page "Being Liberal" and they do a great job of playing fast and loose with actual facts.
