Soldiers who become casualties on the battlefield should be taken care of, including injuries that cause physical and mental impairment. Societies have done so throughout history. The prerequisite has always been a sound body and mind to begin with. A pre-existing physical impairment wouldn’t qualify, nor would a weak mental make-up before entering service. …
Balanced news isn’t easy to come by these days, little beyond puff pieces and liberal advocacy. Print journalism in America is moribund. Though independent, Web-based news services are fragmented, while the likes of Facebook and Twitter offer little more than a yard sign or graffiti. Television is still the choice for…
Mike Rounds’ latest press release seems to target South Dakota conservatives, especially those who might see themselves as too busy to dig too deeply into political records and issues. Former governor Rounds now has the endorsement of fellow Governor Mike Huckabee, a populist who has figured out how to reach the ordinary conservative: …
No question that the secular world is serious about driving Christianity from American society. Sure, tolerance of all religions is cited as the rationale, though most realize that eliminating all religion is the unstated objective, which will come with time. Liberals already have a replacement religion in place. For example, national local…
It seems that working, career-minded parents have less time than ever to spend with teens these days. This is not good in an ambient social world that is militantly secular and liberal, preying upon a young person’s “natural” desire to be independent of parental control (and values).

Yes, white liberals think they own the minority vote. It’s been a latent part of university think tanks for almost a century now, since the urgencies of World War I. Minorities and the Third World are an emotional playground for these elitists from colleges, government, and the media. The Democrats can’t wait to…
When WWII broke out, US military intelligence looked for two types of Americans that had intimate knowledge of the topography and language of little-known terrain: plantation owners and Christian missionaries. Many of the former served as “coast watchers” on Pacific Islands like Guadalcanal. John Birch was a Baptist missionary on mainland China. When Jimmy Doolittle’s…
Email forwardings often offer perspectives and “out of the box” thinking not available on homogeneous national news services. One points to “A 17 year old ‘animal’ named De’Marquis Elkins [who] shot and killed an innocent 13 month old baby in a stroller and injured the mother in Brunswick, Georgia, this week.” It’s not about race,…
(UC Berkeley’s Natalie Wolchover pictured on Scientific American site) Every week now someone forwards a new set of photos supposedly depicting downscale Walmart shoppers. The implication is that they represent the true face of democracy in our world. No, we immediately tell ourselves. Our candidates for local political offices are…
Maybe the term “media liberal” should be coined–in reference to secular people whose only thoughts about news issues and social values come from the media, including Hollywood. This is too bad because US media (including local monopolies) is almost all in the left-liberal camp, though made to seem so normalized and non-ideological…
