Sliiiinky Maaaaan! (my alter ego)
Thanks for joining us at the blog known as “A View from the Right”. My name is Chris Harris (aka Sirrahc, or “Slinky Man” (see avatar)), and I’ll be your host.
When I started thinking about doing this, I couldn’t really decide what to blog about, since I have many interests. Plus, I wanted to keep it interesting for myself and not overdo it on any one topic. So, I decided to mix it up a bit with three, separate but often interrelated subjects — Science, Politics, and Religion.
Just look at the headlines in the papers and on the web and you can see stories on Health Care Reform; Global Warming and Climate Change; Creation / Evolution / Design debates; religious “fundamentalists”; another book by one of the “New Atheists” or some other challenge to religion (especially theism) in general or Christianity in particular; scholarly discussions about worldviews, doctrines, & apologetics; new discoveries in archaeology, the fossil record, genetics, biochemistry, physics, cosmology, human origins (or, at least, hominids & primates), etc.
I love this stuff! So, whether you are only into one, or two, or all three of these subjects, I look forward to sharing and experiencing it all with you. And, if you never really had much interest in any of these, I urge you to stick around for awhile. Maybe you’ll catch the bug, too, and get passionate about a whole new area of interest and debate.
Now, I likely won’t be posting every day. But, even in a really busy week I’ll probably get in a post or two. It might be a short comment, possibly with a link to an article or other blog post. It might be a longer commentary, or even a series on a particular topic. A book review might show up once in awhile, or I may post a passage from a book that I found particularly notable. And sometimes I’ll survey you, my loyal readers & followers, to find out what topics you would like to read about. We’ll just play it by ear, OK?
Don’t forget to add us to your RSS feed subscriptions, so you’ll know when a new post is up!
hiya. Liked the post on the sights. The fact that no self respecting Musselman might use the sights seems to have gone beyond most readers. They probably now Haram. Perhaps it’s a special feature.
they are very good sights, by the way.
Thanks, Matt. I’m afraid I don’t understand the Musselman (well, maybe) and Haram references, though.
I am not sure what happened. I have subscribed in the past and somehow I stopped receiving posts. What do I need to do to reconnect? Thanks.
Did you stop getting notices in early October, when I revamped the site for the new URL? Or, was it later? If later, it may have been when I updated the plug-in.
In any case, on every page but the home page (don’t know why), there is a “Subscribe Me!” option in the upper-right. Give that a try…
Chris,
In your post “Why Newt 2 of 2” You list Major General Bob Livingston as having endorsed Newt. You also list him as a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Adjutant General of SC.
Major General Bob Livingston did not endorse Newt nor is he a MoH recipient. I believe you’ve confused him with Major General Jim Livingston who did endorse Newt shortly prior to the SC primary.
This is Bob:

This is Jim:

Would you mind correcting your post?
Whoops! Good catch, Matt!
In the speech I heard from Newt where he mentions the General, I couldn’t hear a first name. I guess I should’ve been a bit more careful in my search! Changing now…
Thanks!
Hi,
My name is Megan Sullivan and I was wondering if you are open to paid guest posts on aviewfromtheright.com. If so, I would love to discuss the opportunity of a business relationship with you.
Please let me know if you are interested and we can discuss my current budget and any guidelines you may have.
I appreciate your time.
Thanks,
Megan
I’ll email you, Megan.
you home page seems to have either vanished or deplatformed. have you been abducted by aliens or leftists?
I’m having a technical issue since my host did some upgrades. Working (slowly) to resolve and may have to change to a new theme (which will be a headache). Stay tuned… 🙂
