This site is full of ideas. Some of them might make you cringe. They may not align with your worldview, perspectives, or experiences. That’s a great thing.

If liberals only understood how conservative they were

One of the original motivations for this blog, and my upcoming books, is because there are many people out there who consider themselves liberals, or Democrats, who are actually very conservative. They figure that they’re not racist, homophobic, sexist, or bigoted, and that’s what they’re told conservatives are, so they must be liberal. So they go about their lives applauding and valuing accountability, self-reliance, personal responsibility, taking risks, speaking one’s mind, having a good time, applying common sense, freedom, liberty, understanding how economics work, trying to be a good and fair person, and generally minding their own business: all…

You are not reading right now

This is not a blog. You are not online. This page is not on the internet. These are not words. These words are not in English. This isn’t saying what you think it’s saying. What is your problem? You are mowing the lawn right now. You always mow the lawn. It’s what you always do. Always This is not the fourth paragraph. Don’t you even know what paragraphs are? Haven’t you ever seen words? If you have, you’d know these are not them. This post represents the sum of the Democrat strategy to win the 2020 election. Don’t believe…

Voting: Ya gotta want it

If it were up to me, voter registration drives would be illegal. There would be no mention of when election day is. Pro-voting advertising would be forbidden. One would have to pass the US citizenship exam before being allowed to vote. We would only vote in person, on election day. There would be no early voting. There would be no mail-in voting. Barack Obama is out with a series of videos repeating the line from the 2020 Democrat National Convention: “Make a plan to vote.” What the hell does “make a plan to vote” mean? It’s not hard. Get…

2020 is brought to you by the word “gaslight”

As I wrote a few days ago, this is the year when nothing means anything and everything means nothing. Up is down. Black is white. Big is small. The Democrat Party has decided this is the year in which they convince you not to believe your own eyes and ears. That rioting? Those are peaceful protests. Going to church is a COVID super spreader event, but the virus knows no protests. Today, Joe Biden just tweeted the following: “I’ll be a president for all Americans. Not just the ones who vote for me.” This from the man who leads…

Who would even think to say that any one group’s lives matter

Where did this idea of “black lives matter” or “all lives matter” begin? Who would even think to say it. One of the foundational elements of America is that life is precious. We have an entire Constitution devoted to the idea that each individual only gets one life and they should be free to pursue their dreams with as little restriction as possible (usually defined by when one’s pursuit interferes with another). Life is taken for granted in this country. It’s one of our bedrocks. Life is important and precious, and it’s a tragedy every time a life is…

No debate = weak position

People who say “It’s not up for debate,” or “The debate is over,” are simply telling you that their position is weak and doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. “It’s not up for debate” = “We can’t win if you make us debate this.” There’s no such thing as a debate being over. Debates are critical exercises. Two important outcomes come from nearly all debates. Either someone makes a strong case and reaffirms their current position, or someone learns they are wrong, or missing information, and rethinks what they think they know. Both are valuable conclusions. There’s always something to…

The rise of doublespeak

It’s getting really difficult to make sense of absolutely anything these days. And I’m not just talking about the miracle that is 2020. Language and fact is being redefined in a way George Orwell could only dream. Today, Joe Biden said that it was the Republicans that are packing the court. The Republicans. I try not to just write about, or react to, news because there’s plenty of outlets for that. But this one put me over the edge. It’s not difficult to find quotes from Party Democrats talking about packing the Supreme Court if they win. In case…

Listening to science and data

Why is it that every time a Democrat leader tells us we have to follow the science and data, they never tell us what the science and data are telling us? Look at how many governors are keeping their states locked down under the guise of following the science. But they never tell us what the science is saying. The thing about science is that it’s never settled. There are always new tests and experiments. There’s always new discoveries. There’s no such thing as science deniers. There are only people who are continually asking questions, who are consistently skeptical,…

Person vs policy

Democrats don’t consider President Trump’s policies or their results. They simply do not like the man. They’ve built him up to be one of the worst people walking the earth and will everything they can to take him down. Many conservatives don’t particularly like President Trump, but they look at his record on job creation, deregulation, standing up for “the little guy,” calling out a hyper-partisan media, and reducing the role of government, and they’ll do anything to vote for him. For liberals, this election is about getting rid of Trump at all costs. For conservatives, this election is…
