On this Independence Day weekend, let’s talk about Rights

What do you think about when someone mentions "rights"?  Is the first thing that crosses your mind something like "abortion rights", or "voting rights"?  Or is it something like "unalienable rights", which is a phrase from the Declaration of Independence?  What does "unalienable" even mean?  First of all, here are some definitions of "rights" from …

The US Supreme Court made a momentous 2nd Amendment decision this year…

In the case of NY Rifle & Pistol Association vs Bruen, the Supreme Court invalidated a New York law that unduly burdened the right to carry a concealed weapon outside the home.  Previously, the state of New York had required applicants for a concealed-carry permit to demonstrate "proper cause" for requesting such a permit.  The …

Repost with updates: Now, there’s an entire month: “Pride Month”?

Back in August of 2013, I wrote a post on this blog entitled "I do not understand "gay pride".  Below is the entire post. Why would you be proud of being perverted? Why would you be proud of engaging in behavior that is antithetical to the survival of the human race? I stand by that …
