Here, and closer to home at Patheos here. If he’s saying Christians with traditional beliefs about salvation need not apply for government posts, then yes we have a problem. The Atlantic has its take on the incident. The ACLU and CAIR jumping on the bandwagon doesn’t make it any better. This also includes, by the way, that little sleight of hand that says our country is open to everything except racism and bigotry, and out of dumb, blind luck, anything... Read more
I can respect this. No fire and brimstone, no whining and crying. Just not going to stand with something she can’t accept. As a child of the liberal 80s, I can always respect a person who, without harming anyone, stands her ground. Read more
Barely a drop in the bucket compared to auto accident deaths, even in 1941. More people died in car accidents in Illinois that year than were killed at Pearl Harbor. Murders in America were much higher, too. And Cancer deaths. Even back then, America could be a pretty tough place. Yet somehow, most Americans felt that the attack and the resulting casualties were about more than just the numbers. I say this because, in the wake of the recent string... Read more

In this case, he gives quite a few tributes to a generation that showed its sins don’t have to define it, that through greatness of sacrifice and struggle, you can do greater things than focus on yourself. For our generation, it could be worth remembering, if for no other reason than to thank all those who... Read more
In 1942, the Battle of Midway began. That marked the beginning of the end of the Japanese Empire, an empire that rivaled Nazi Germany in its horrors and body count. One of my uncles fought in the battle. He was on the island of Midway as part of the army air corps. This battle loomed large in my childhood imagination. As did the war itself. The thought that this war, made into so many movies and – in those days –... Read more
I know, with the Paris agreement, and I’m walking away from my blog for the weekend? Yep. Our second oldest is ready to walk the plank. We homeschool, but still have ways to gather for graduation celebrations. They actually go through a private school in California, so it comes with a HS diploma. That makes it tough because we have to make sure they fulfill educational standards for Ohio and California. It works, though. Based on classical education, I think its... Read more
