Abuse Is Blasphemy

Posted on May 29, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, if people are created in the image of God, then abusing another is a blasphemous act. It is literally disrespecting God by debasing an image of God. That’s the definition of blasphemy. If one … Continue reading →

Hidden Central Planning

Posted on April 15, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, recent experience teaches us that the bureaucracy is the greatest threat to our republic since the Civil War. Smart and wise people would roll our laws back to pre-Woodrow Wilson days. That would put … Continue reading →

The Conditional Golden Mean

Posted on April 5, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, Aristotle’s and Mencius’ Golden Mean sound great, but I fundamentally disagree. I admit both men were far more intelligent and wise than I. Their brilliance is accepted across the planet. They lacked something that … Continue reading →

Rules Based Order

Posted on March 27, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, a “rules-based order” would have everyone follow the same rules. That ours has a clear double standard, whistleblowers are vilified, and law enforcement serves power instead of justice… suggests ours isn’t a rules-based order, … Continue reading →

Legislating Morality

Posted on March 20, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, Pareto’s elitists claim you can’t legislate morality… then set themselves to doing just that. Laws today are rapidly replacing morality. This is done by thousands of bureaucrats working diligently at their cubicles legislating the … Continue reading →

They Thrive on Category Errors

Posted on February 28, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, progressivism, communism, and indeed any socialist ideology thrives in category errors. They look at one category of thing, then try to apply it to another. A factory and an economy are in a different … Continue reading →

Why So Many Atrocities

Posted on February 4, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, giving people unlimited power who commit atrocities in their own lives guarantees atrocities will be committed in public. People tend to act the same over long periods of time. So someone who molests children, … Continue reading →

Pathological Societies

Posted on January 2, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in a psychopathic society, like Animal Farm… any act of goodwill is taken as a sign of weakness and used against the virtuous. Psychopaths don’t reciprocate, they manipulate. Psychopathic societies are the same. Moreover, … Continue reading →

Calling Out Absurdity

Posted on December 26, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, the collapse of morality in the world coincides with the decoupling of Christianity from the public square. This has allowed previously absurd questions to be asked. Like, a girl can have a penis, gay … Continue reading →

Hubris Leads To Destruction

Posted on November 21, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems the acme of hubris to me, for someone to think they should take over that which they could never have created. We see this in armed robbery, hostile takeovers, and nationalizations. When someone who was unable … Continue reading →
