Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
When I was a Plebe (freshman), I was getting onto a Greyhound bus. Before I got to the top of the steps, someone identified me as in the military. “Thank you for you service.” Wait? What? I have given no service. They had simultaneously identified me as affiliated with the military, and over-judged my contribution. …
Our world seems to be hopelessly out of control. Maybe we can learn from the hummingbird.
God talks to us through dreams. We don’t have to go much beyond Genesis to find plenty of examples of God speaking to both believers and non-believers through dreams.
One of the definitions Webster uses to define Faith: “firm belief in something for which there is no proof” and also as “complete trust”.
Bad things happen to good people, but there is a plan for a happily ever after.
As Sean of the South explains, sometimes a sandwich is much more than a sandwich.
“[The words duty, honor, country] are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.”
General Douglas MacArthur, address to the Corps of Cadets on receiving the Thayer Award, 1962
Are our thoughts, words, and deeds acceptable in God’s eyes? Or do we only behave ourselves in public?
If you heard about the recent shooting in a suburb of Indianapolis, maybe you didn’t, a young man with his constitutional carry firearm, which is something that just passed in the state of Indiana, was faced with an active shooter who was armed to the teeth, killed four people, so far, and was shot by …
I’ve gotten a lot of email from dispirited conservatives lately. I have one question for them. What’s their plan?
Who was John Wayne. Marion Robert Morrison. John Wayne. He was an idea. In most of his movies, he portrayed a gruff and tough hero. The Searchers. The Sands of Iwo Jima. The original True Grit. Great movies, all. He was a man of honor who had his struggles. He was tough as nails, but …
Recently, a meme that I saw stated that, according to science, we humans need at least four basic elements to survive: water, air, food, and light. That’s fairly accurate, but if you do minimal research, you’ll discover that there are varying opinions, scientific and otherwise, on the exact necessities of life. Most sources agree that …
Today is a glorious day. It is a joyful day for us. And yet, I have been staring at my computer screen for hour after hour, thinking about what I want to write, or if I want to write.
King Solomon, the son of David and Bathsheba, was purportedly the wisest man who ever lived, and he had much to say about foolishness and wisdom. Three books of the Bible are generally attributed to him–Proverbs, Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes. These three books and the additional books of Job and Psalms make up what …
Words and Actions: the inherent misuse of each Xenophobic, Homophobic, Racist, and an endless list of other terms have gained mainstay use in these days and times. They are used to try and shame or guilt, or even silence a group out of some fear they are suppose to imply. I don’t fear these words. …
The children of Israel angered God when they created and worshipped a golden calf. Are we worshipping our own golden calves?
For the record, I believe Fox News host Tucker Carlson is by far the best high-profile TV commentator of our time. I frequently cite him in my news-oriented articles, and his monologues are tours de force. Thus is it notable that I’ve never seen him stumble so badly as on his last Wednesday evening show.
