So far the biggest windfall for the lumbering Clinton campaign is Trump. I get why non-liberals and traditional Christians would fear another four years of watching the right to not be liberal slowly fade away. I get why Clinton appealing to the argument of bad role models for kids is beyond awkward. Nonetheless, Christians who support Trump are going to have to deal with this. This ad is true. Do we simply say ‘oh well, they did it... Read more
Poll finds stark Catholic racial divide on Clinton versus Trump. Why should Catholics be different than the general electorate. Read more
John C. Wright weighs in on the subject of reasoned debate in our modern age. This is a big picture look that includes one part of the problem I kicked around here. The conversation between Andre and me veered off the main topic by getting into the subject about race in America and the plight of African Americans. My point was that we’re asked to accept the most twisted logic and excuse making to avoid putting blame anywhere but on one particular demographic.... Read more
Or “hate” speech. According to this piece, people are upset that the Dallas shooting could be investigated as a hate crime though, at this point, the two shootings of the two black men who mattered might not be hate crimes. True. The idea of hate crimes, like hate speech, seems rather subjective. Back in the late 90s, when there was significant push-back against the idea of ‘hate crimes’, there was a shooting in a Texas church. A man walked into... Read more
One of them is drivers not using their blinkers! Either not using them to turn or, worse, not turning them off after they’ve turned. Please observe: Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. Read more
Or at least the end of prosperity? Someone needs to notify Wall Street. Not that the well being of the markets necessarily translates to the well being of us little people. But when the markets fell the first day after Brexit, how many sites and outlets pointed to the drop and used it to prove the impending apocalypse. Well, it hasn’t. Not that there might not be problems. But the those who panicked over our inevitable doom appear to have jumped the gun. Which... Read more
So Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg overstepped the bounds by commenting on Trump’s candidacy. Even on CNN the consensus is that she was wrong. As Paul Ryan said, in an appointed position such as Supreme Court Justice, you can’t give the impression of bias. What if a case like Bush/Gore came before the court? She couldn’t speak to it objectively, at least in the eyes of the public. So nobody is defending what she said at this point. Yet Trump manages... Read more
Blame the Pope. Jeb Bush, according to this article, seems to think Pope Francis is partly responsible for the rise of Trump. He also laments the press’s coverage of Trump. That Bush was one of the least inspiring candidates ever to run in a primary might have had something to do with his defeat. Not that the press isn’t partly to blame. If you think the press was behind Clinton’s victory over Sanders, then it’s probable that the press... Read more
Easy, according to their consciences being informed by Church teaching. Next post. Of course it isn’t quite so simple. Fact is, our nation is leaving its Christian roots. Oddly, there appears to be no small number of Christians, including Catholics, who don’t seem to mind. Same with Europe. Whether post-Christian or something else, the concern over a Christian society seems to be pretty low on the priority scale. Not that being a “Christian Society” has ever guaranteed fidelity to the Gospel... Read more
The most Belgian Beer outside of Brussels might be brewed here in the Buckeye State! Yay us! And people in those silly coastal states call us fly over country. Silly old bears. Read more
