As promised, this week we continue the argument — as presented by Gergis, Anderson, and George in What Is Marriage? (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 […]
“The Left’s partisan crusade to force Justice Thomas off of cases is not based on real recusal standards but on politics.” — Carrie Severino, president of Judicial Crisis Network At the very least, Democrats want Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from cases regarding the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (Though, if […]
“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” — Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist Thanks primarily to bad governmental policy, Americans have noticed their hard-earned dollars are buying noticeably less these […]
“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? He’s the Canadian psychology professor who has become somewhat of a celebrity/pariah in recent years, mostly because he is outspoken against things like political correctness and identity politics. […]
I was reminded the other day that this is Black History Month. I don’t normally go out of my way to note, let alone celebrate, this. As Ryan Bomberger (who is bi-racial) of the Radiance Foundation recently wrote, “There are so many incredible stories that should be intertwined in an educational fabric that celebrates every […]
“[Socialism is] a pseudo-religion posing as a pseudo-science and run by political elites.” — Lee Edwards of The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics Radical progressives want to turn America into a socialist “paradise”. They do this by teaching the “evils” of capitalism and the promises of socialism (i.e., gateway to […]
Lootings and shootings and murders, oh my! Also, car thefts, armed carjackings, train robberies, arson, vandalism, aggravated assaults, etc. When Leftists who run cities (i.e., mayors, district attorneys, city councils) defund their police force, refuse to prosecute serious crimes, even encourage lootings and arson by rioters, manipulate the system in favor of criminals, and generally […]
