Freedom of Conscience Defending the Right to Discriminate

The right of dissent is the heart of a free society. This is nothing less than statism. We are being told what to believe. Compliance is rewarded. Dissent is punished. This is no America I want to belong to.

We cannot budge on this issue. It’s Roe v Wade all over again.

FAIL Rolling Stone rebuked in independent review of campus rape story

The purpose of journalism is to report facts. Once a journalist or organization injects their opinion (i.e. All men are evil rapists) into a story, it ceases to be journalism and becomes commentary. There was rape at UVA because Rolling Stone magazine WANTED there to be rape at UVA.

The “Gay” Mafia Has Spoken Selective Outrage over Religious Freedom

If You Can’t Persuade, Shame. If You Can’t Shame, Bully. If You Can’t Bully, Compel. What Remains – Liquidate. Eroding Freedom in the Name of Freedom

They are seeking to overturn actual rights already guaranteed in our Constitution (Freedom of Religion) in favor of imaginary rights (Faux Marriage).

Our Government Has Long Since Ceased Answering to Us Access denied: Reporters say federal officials, data increasingly off limits

Ideally, the purpose of a free press is to act as accountability on behalf of the people by making sure they are all informed as to what their government is doing when they think no one is watching. Now journalism is being forbidden to watch, and the abuses of power just keep coming.

Intriguing. How ‘One Nation’ Didn’t Become ‘Under God’ Until The ’50s Religious Revival

I have long disbelieved the myth of “Christian America”. The idea that my nation could become Christian flies in the face of the whole concept of separation of church and state to which Baptists have historically adhered. We are rather, a nation that permits free expression of religion, and is not, at least until recently, hostile to Christianity, or any other belief system. I think this myth of the “Christian Nation” distracts Christians from actually trying to influence and engage their culture in a positive way, because instead Christians are fighting to preserve a Nation that never really existed.

When you take away all the guns, people will start using swords. It’s a rare month that I don’t read an article about people committing crimes with swords in London or getting caught owning them. Gun control is silly. What’s next: Sword Control? Sharp Stick Control? Rock Control?

Why This? The Sad Decline of Florida’s Space Coast

Because This. 7 surprising things the government spends more money on than space exploration

America’s government is a bloated, expensive boondoggle that is unaccountable to the voters who allegedly gave their consent for it to exist. Our whole society is overpriced, and instead of asking “Why is everything so expensive compared to other countries?”, voters keep voting higher minimum wages and more government benefits, and the fatcats and their pet lobbyists continue lapping up the gravy. Stupid.

Our Government Was Chosen For Us By Prior Generations of Now-Dead Americans Why Mandatory Voting Is a Bad Idea; Freedom means the right to ignore the state and live peacefully.

We are allowed the “Right to Vote” to grant the illusion of consent. Try ignoring anything the government does and you’ll find out in a hurry how great an illusion democracy really is. Mandatory voting is an idea typical of the current regime. The real question should be “Why don’t people vote?” The simple answer: It doesn’t appear to matter. What difference does it make when your vote is overshadowed, in a Presidential election for example, by Florida, Ohio and Colorado? Political strategists know from data mining how the other states will vote, so they can focus on those states instead. Our electoral college guarantees that a few states will dominate the race, because those states have the deciding electoral votes. Smoke and mirrors. That right there is why voter turnout is so low. Add to this the fact that even if you do vote, and your chosen candidate somehow gets himself elected, the courts will abuse judicial review to invalidate nearly anything your candidate does in response to your wishes. In the end, its all just an oligarchy and we, the People, serve its interests.

Piracy Is Armed Insurgents Attacking Ships at Sea and Either Murdering Everybody and Stealing Their Stuff, Or Taking Hostages (And Stealing Their Stuff) Netflix Wants To Make VPN Piracy Obsolete

This is not piracy. It is, rather, a reaction to an artificial system enacted by now obsolete media monopolies to control the flow of entertainment options around the world. If people didn’t have to wait six months to get a movie in a portable, non-theater-based format, and didn’t have to pay a fortune for it, and if they could access it anywhere in the world they pleased, then all this “piracy” would become unnecessary.

We Must Not Cede “Bad” Areas of Town to Bad People Gentrify! No matter what you do, modern liberals will tell you you’re wrong.

When all the decent people move away, that leaves only the people least able to maintain a decent community. This attracts the kind of people who tend to prey on such communities, and within a relatively short time, you have yourself a slum. We have to reverse white-flight, move back in to these areas, and bring our tax dollars with us to improve them. Once you get a nucleus of responsible, bill-paying types, skittish businesses can be attracted to return also. It’s the opposite of the Broken Window Principle.

Science Falsely So Called If It Works, Kill It

We live in an era where “Science”/Religion is often cited to trump whatever elitist neo-Atheists and liberals deem to be unpopular or incorrect. It doesn’t matter whether their position is right or not, because the “Science”/Religion is settled – end of discussion!
