(2012/2020) — against the libertarian position that the institution of marriage should be privatized and the state (i.e., government) keep its nose out of the marriage business. — — — “Let us take a closer […]

I have long said that, while solidly conservative, I have a libertarian streak. A small streak perhaps, but it’s there, in that I can at least sympathize with some of the thinking. Granted, I should probably do more reading to better understand certain libertarian positions. One of those is the suggestion that marriage is solely […]

When considering what to post about this week, the whole “Easter is a pagan holiday” thing kept rearing its head. I knew there were problems with that line of thinking but didn’t relish diving into an investigation about it with only a couple days until Easter.

“In a world where decision makers, their advisers and the media were able to admit their mistake and the initial panic that gripped them, we would have long since returned to routine. The ongoing destruction due to the inability to admit this mistake, despite the epidemic’s small mortality numbers, is outrageous. History will judge the […]

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” — Professor Klaus Schwab, WEF The first time I heard of the “Great Reset”, it was mentioned in a podcast. It sounded very disturbing, but I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, and I didn’t take […]

“He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising.” — Jordan Peterson, paraphrasing the Bible You’ve heard of Jordan B. Peterson, right?
