So Colin Kaepernick sat during the National Anthem. I’m shocked it doesn’t happen all the time. I couldn’t care less. It’s still a free country. He’s free to do as he pleases. I just don’t want him to get all huffy if some of his fans freely express their opinions about what he did. I have no problem with celebrities making a statement. I just grow weary of listening to them complain and whine when their fans react negatively. If you... Read more
A pause from blogging to celebrate our second boy’s 18th birthday. As of tomorrow, we have another adult in our house. Legally at least. Since I tend to guard time with my family rather jealously, I’ll be scarce for the next couple days. I’ll get to comments and make sure I touch base with them soon. All comments are always appreciated. I just want to position myself for complete celebration and joy, thanking God for seeing another Griffey boy enter the world... Read more
Is relative. In this case, if you’re on the other team. Read more
Does liberalism have an Elmer Gantry nowadays? I’m just curious. Is there a movie in recent years, a Pulitzer prize winning novel, journalistic series or an Emmy award winning television show that exposes the seedy underside of liberalism? Of liberal movements or ideals? Something that drags into the spotlight hypocrisy in the LGBT movement? Corruption in the Civil Rights movement? The ugly influences of Socialism in modern economies? The negative results of our modern sexual norms? Are there any Oscar winning movies that... Read more
Worried about the idea that a dragon, symbol of Satan, could be a fuzzy, friendly pal? Well worry no more. Jimmy Akin unpacks the friendly dragon narrative in a fun and informative way. As usual, it’s packed with info and more than a couple courses of food for thought. Read more
Hillary Clinton says there’s nothing in the latest stories about the Clinton Foundation except smoke and a bunch of conspiracy theories. If the last 30 years have taught me nothing else, they’ve taught me that if you can’t believe the Clintons, who can you believe? CNN even had a five minute story about this followed by a grueling interview with Rep. Jim Himes (D) who insisted there is nothing wrong. So let’s move on. .Org Read more
For the victims of the earthquake in Italy and the victims of the attack on American University in Kabul. Lord of all compassion We pray for all of those caught up in the midst of tragedy or disaster.

For those in need of the peace that... Read more
Always worth looking back to those who have been through it before. Keeps things in perspective and can’t help but be inspired. Hat tip to The American Catholic. Read more
It has language, so be warned. I don’t typically link to posts like this, since it’s from the hip and pretty full of rhetoric I feel drags down the discourse. Nevertheless, there was nothing in it I could argue with. It is true. We don’t have a media, at least on the national stage. We have a propaganda ministry. Not only the obviously underplayed coverage of the Louisiana floods, but I had to chuckle because I remember the Tennessee story being... Read more
This. Facebook generation complaining about Trump = Football fans complaining because Ruby is too violent. That’s not to say there aren’t other things Trump has said that aren’t offensive or inexcusable. But the idea that Trump has made the discourse worse or dumbed down rhetoric would be more believable if I hadn’t been hearing rhetoric like Ms. Cher’s for about 40 years now. And please, this was at a fundraiser with the other presidential candidate present. Spare me the arguments that our... Read more
