When I peruse a liberal/progressive website, I am amazed by the amount of hateful invective hurled at us conservatives. The same hate is often hurled at progressives on our own websites.

For the benefit of those who could not come to Junaluska, I am attaching a copy of that handout. As introduction, let me explain that our family is a mingling of four different families […]
Some days will never be forgotten. We were approaching year’s end, and people were making preparations for the coming Christmas holiday. Conflict was raging in Europe, and German troops were laying siege to Leningrad and appeared poised to take Moscow. We were giving materiel support to Britain and the Soviet Union, and our navy was […]

In my May 29 post entitled “Canonization”, I stated that any black man who […]

On Thanksgiving Day there was a gathering of descendants of Native American tribes on a hill overlooking the site of the Mayflower landing. They were there not to give thanks but to mourn the Pilgrim’s arrival and the centuries of white man’s racism and mistreatment. I believe these people are wrong. White people did not […]
The Democrats often accuse the Republicans of voter suppression.
