With COVID-19 vaccine mandates looming, or in some cases, already here, the matter of exemptions to the mandates have come to the forefront. There are exemptions based on medical conditions or “matters of conscience”, and there is the possibility in some cases of being able to claim a religious exemption to the mandates. The COVID-19...

The old saying goes, “to a person with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” Alternatively, it can be said of Critical Race Theory and the broader Woke culture it has spawned, “To a person who accepts CRT, everything looks like white supremacy.” This term, in the hands of those who coined it and who...

Protecting the liberties of citizens necessarily entails protecting the liberties of people with little to no social influence or power.

I have known, since reading Marx in the 90s, that it is a hard-core atheistic philosophy, and that it gets everything about the human experience... Continue Reading →
Every now and then you get a peek into the heart and mind of someone who is dramatically different from you. We often hold assumptions about what is going on in their heads, but on a good day, we check ourselves and realize we don’t know what they are really thinking. “They can’t be that...
