A long time ago, on a continent some drive from here, there lived a guy with a bad mustache and a great mind for international relations. He also had some fairly forward thinking ideas on resource management. One of his better ones, to his mind, was the idea that since he needed more space to… Continue reading Temujin Teaches 21st Century Diplomacy

For good men to do nothing…
Yesterday’s post was partly influenced by my thoughts and impressions on this article. Now, quite honestly, I see this mostly as a publicity stunt and an excuse to take things offline, but if taken at face value, as so many things often are, what you have left is this. Bad things are happening, so I’m… Continue reading For good men to do nothing…
How to tell a well reasoned post from a parroted conspiracy vis a vis our national leadership.
If the phrase or concept, “because they/them/it/nwo wants the American public to rely completely on the government for their needs.” or “because they/them/it/nwo deliberately wants our economy to fail because of <insert reason>”, you can safely assume that the person posting or sharing said information is an idiot, at best. At worst, they actually support… Continue reading How to tell a well reasoned post from a parroted conspiracy vis a vis our national leadership.

I don’t care if you agree with me, I welcome all dissent and criticism. I don’t even have to like you as you tell me I’m wrong- in fact, I might think you’re the biggest damn idiot on the planet. And if you give me lip about how everyone is entitled to their own opinion,… Continue reading Agree to disagree- No, just don’t be an ass
Obama on gun control
So Facebook has this post going around where Obama is saying the guns don’t make people safer while it has all his secret agents with their guns circled. I’m all for the 2nd Amendment and I’m for the responsible ownership of guns, but this particular message is a bit off center. The average citizen does… Continue reading Obama on gun control
How to get shot first
With all the debate going on right now about gun control and the merits of what the 2nd amendment means and so on, I’d like to point out some fatal logic on the part of some of the pro gun crowd. Now, before I dig to deep it’s best to get this on record right… Continue reading How to get shot first
The Constitution- Hallowed be thy name?
The Constitution is kind of a unique thing in American minds. In a nation where change is constant, where people and institutions will change their political, theological and ideological stance whenever the wind blows, in American conservative politics the Constitution is held up as this inviolate document that does not change… Ironic given that it… Continue reading The Constitution- Hallowed be thy name?
