Do You Have Hope? Where Does it Come From?

After recent posts on abortion, transgenderism, and the right to pray, I am criticized as a religious zealot, one attempting to impose my religious doctrine on others, one who believes Christianity should be advanced over other religions by our government, and one who would not act consistently to protect other faiths. My critics are oftenContinue reading “Do You Have Hope? Where Does it Come From?”

Freedom to Pray is Upheld. Why was it ever Threatened?

High School Coach Joe Kennedy was fired from his job at Bremerton (Washington) High School for praying at the 50-yard line immediately after each game. The coach engaged in this practice for nearly eight years (win or lose) until local officials determined it to be a threat to good order. Namely, they saw this asContinue reading “Freedom to Pray is Upheld. Why was it ever Threatened?”

Overturning Roe v Wade: a Return to Federalism and Democracy

I was told the following by a critic regarding the Roe v Wade overturning. It is a rather dumbfounding statement, but it represents the views of many, so I think should be addressed seriously: You are basically requiring that I explain Newton’s Laws of Motion to you. I should not have to do that. AnContinue reading “Overturning Roe v Wade: a Return to Federalism and Democracy”

Too Many Guns or Something Else?

I entered into a lengthy debate regarding gun control following my post: Gun-Control-Argument-is-Flawed. My critic posted the following counter and we engaged in a lengthy discussion on his page: https://rautakyy.wordpress.com/2022/06/16/2nd-amendment/ “They are trying to take our guns!” In light of years of school shootings, staggering numbers of all sorts of gun related violence, and tragicomicContinue reading “Too Many Guns or Something Else?”

Pride and Pride Month: A Fad and a Problem

Yeah. I said it. The title may be enough to dismiss me: he is an old dinosaur who can’t keep up with the changing times, a bigot who hates people not like himself, exclusionary, intolerant, just an awful person, etc. I haven’t even had a chance to make my points, but the discussion has endedContinue reading “Pride and Pride Month: A Fad and a Problem”

The Gun Control Argument is Flawed

I, like everyone else, am appalled at senseless shooting tragedies, whether in New Town Connecticut ten years ago or in Uvalde Texas in 2022. I don’t have easy solutions, but neither do folks spouting off publicly. Any ideas proposed, raising the legal age along with other ideas under consideration are not enough to move theContinue reading “The Gun Control Argument is Flawed”

COVID: Can Life Ever Return to Normal? Only if We Demand It.

COVID is clearly fading into the background in 2022. But how long will it remain there? Will the awful precedents our politicians tried to establish the last two years be revived in the near future? Have we ended these miscreants power grab? How do we protect ourselves from the return of such anti-democratic policies? TheContinue reading “COVID: Can Life Ever Return to Normal? Only if We Demand It.”

Abortion Discussion: Seek to Understand

It is difficult to debate contemporary issues because we often only hear our own side of the argument. We can be so certain of ourselves, so we need only convince others of the correctness of our own view. I can quote numbers and provide anecdotes concerning abortion all day long, but I make no progressContinue reading “Abortion Discussion: Seek to Understand”

SI Models, Georgia Voting, Musk, Monkeypox, and More Truth Twisting

Discerning the truth about the public discourse these days can seem challenging as the craziness abounds. But not that much effort is truly needed. Those watching this modern game (and it is clearly a game) only need an open mind. You probably know something is wrong with the world today, but you may not knowContinue reading “SI Models, Georgia Voting, Musk, Monkeypox, and More Truth Twisting”
