Reading the Outlander Series-And Learning! Updated-See Italics Below

For the past few months, I have been reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series of novels, about a nurse after World War II, who falls through standing stones in Scotland, and lands 200 years in the past.  Her adventures are totally engrossing, and I have been literally losing sleep, as I hate to close the book, …

Going Hillsdale and AEI-No Social Security or Medicare for Me

I guess that makes me a risk-taker. I am currently 66 years old, my full SS retirement age, which makes me Social Security and Medicare-eligible.  A couple of years ago, I made the decision to reject both SS and Medicare. I am gainfully employed, and expect to be employed for the foreseeable future. I am …

Update to Coining a new Phrase- “Going Hillsdale” AND “Going AEI”

  You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan.  And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught.  Hillsdale's refusal …

Celebrate Independence Day

  The Declaration of Independence, along with the US Constitution, is arguably the free world's finest attestation to the values that underpin the world's most influential Republic.  Reflect on it today, and contemplate the consequences if Americans embrace tyranny right here at home.  Think about the phrase, "Consent of the Governed".  Does that still resonate …

(poundsign)LoveWins! Really??

For the past week, homosexuals and their advocates and supporters have been literally dancing in the streets, since five lawyers in black robes "gave" them the "right" to government-sanctioned "marriage".  That ruling, and a couple before it, has taken the issue out of the hands of the People, and in the case of Proposition 8 …

I’m having trouble corralling my thoughts on this week’s Supreme Court rulings

My brain seems to be a tangle of thoughts, concerns, and emotions, given the momentous rulings handed down by the nine Ivy League lawyers in black robes in Washington, D.C.  Over the experience of humanity, for the last 5,000 years of recorded human history, those nine people have in one stroke, deemed that two people …

How are Homosexual Activists like Islamist Terrorists?

...and, for that matter, like most big Liberal groups and organizations. If someone disagrees with them, or  seems to threaten them in any way, they try to (and sometimes do) destroy them. They can't simply write an op-ed in the New York Times or Washington Post.  No, they undertake boycott campaigns against businesses which deny their …

A Spring Trip to Colorado

Last month, we flew to Denver for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar.  The subject was Churchill, and how his life and accomplishments are relevant to us today.  We listened to many great speakers, and met fellow Hillsdale supporters.  Here is what we saw from our hotel room when we woke up the first day …
