A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, […]

On Sunday I vented a bit. It needed to be done — and I think I spoke for many others, too –, so why not use the forum I have to make my opinions known, right? I called it a “rant”, but I think it was relatively tame, as rants go. Not an expletive or […]

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”   — Abraham Lincoln “AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!” That was my response (posted on Facebook), give or take an “R” or two, to the 2012 Election results. Actually, that was my second FB post. My first was, […]

I’ll make this short. The following are a few paragraphs excerpted from Sean Hannity’s book Conservative Victory (2010): “As harsh as Democrats and the liberal grass roots were in their eight straight years of attacks on George W. Bush and his administration, they had one thing right: There is a great philosophical divide that splits […]

As it gets closer to the 2012 elections, I get more concerned that, despite Romney’s gains, Obama may still win. They are in a statistical tie, and it could go either way. Yet many conservatives, libertarians, and independents are still either undecided, or they plan to vote for a 3rd party, or they just want […]

Immigration in the U.S. — especially illegal immigration — is the subject of many socio-cultural concerns and legal issues today. As of a couple years ago, the number of immigrants both legal and illegal in the United States hit a new record of 40 million. According to Newsmax, “[T]he number of immigrants plus their children […]

“I think the Vice President very well knows that sometimes the words don’t come out of [his] mouth the right way.” — Rep. Paul Ryan, giving possibly the best line of the 2012 VP debate What can be said about this debate that hasn’t? Not much, so forgive me if this sounds kinda familiar. (And, […]

“We know that the path we are taking is not working.  It’s time for a new path.” — Mitt Romney I admit it. I didn’t watch the debate on Wednesday. (I was busy reading/studying for my Oracle SQL class.) So, I had to wait until this weekend to watch the full 1.5 hours on YouTube. […]

“We still have no strategy for dealing with this enormous long term threat. In many ways, the willful blindness of our elites has actually gotten worse.” — Newt Gingrich The following excerpt was recently reproduced in an email from Gingrich Productions. It is from Newt Gingrich’s book Winning the Future (2005), where he is discussing […]

Welcome back! If you’ve been following along, you know that I recently had a civil-but-slightly-frustrating exchange on Facebook with a young-earth creationist (YEC). (Well, there were more involved in the larger “discussion”, but I’m focusing on the interchange between the two of us.) He was making rather confident — even dogmatic — assertions about what […]
