Don’t Like Communist America in 2020? You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!

…Ideas matter. Communism is an idea. In America, it has moved from the university to the cities, suburbs and small towns where you live.

We seem to have created a generation of children whose aspirations and expectations are immensely high, but whose initiative and follow-through are incredibly low. More young people are living at home with their parents than at any time since the 1930s. Yes, some of this is economic, but it goes deeper than tha… Continue reading

Stop letting these leftists get away with 50-plus years of slums … and now defunding all police! It’s madness and it has to stop.

His wife was constantly on his case about it. Finally, out of frustration, he simply told her, calmly and logically, ‘I like eating. I’ll curb it here and Continue reading

Moral Dilemma: Cutting People Too Much Slack…?

…at void, and understandably so; however, it seems that only a minority are open to psychotherapy because most see it as the realm of mental illness (much rarer than ethical or philosophical dilemmas), or anything psychological (like philosophy) as irrelevant and impractical. Consequently, while religion has waned as an active, serious force in our culture (although a majority do claim to be Christian believers), philosophy has gone by the wayside,… Continue reading
