Uninformed Voter

 A doctor was explaining to an Uninformed Voter how nature adjusts for certain physical disabilities.

“For example, if a man is blind, he develops a keen sense of hearing and touch. If he’s stone deaf, he develops other senses.”

“I know what you mean,” said the Uninformed Voter. “I’ve noticed that if someone has one short leg, then the other one is always a bit longer.”

Silly Mistake?

Tarek Miah characterized his rape of a disabled child as a silly mistake.

The offender was also found to be grooming another girl, 9-years-old.

A 15-year prison sentence has been imposed; I do not expect that this will be a pleasant tenure; but in my opinion punishment could not be terrible enough to repair the wounds he has inflicted.

The man is probably clinically pathological, so punishment will likely be ineffective, therefore permanent physical impairment is deserved.

Why Do People Hate Ayn Rand?

When watching some of my brides favorite shows, there seems to be a general screenwriters’ animosity focused on Ayn Rand.  The novels, particularly The Fountanhead and Atlas Shrugged, coupled with a the author’s experience with communism, speak of responsibility, logic and causality fostering an unbreakable moral code.

There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote.

It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.

Congressional Candidate Attacks Front Page

It should not be a surprise that terrorists believe the mantra of the best defense is a good defense.

Why Do People Dispute What they Are Told?

I suppose it's possible that a religion could be both dominant and peaceful, but to me the terms dominant and peaceful conflict.

Chicago Islamic scholar: 'Islam did not come to coexist. Islam is always superior and should never be surpassed.'

Religions often have conceptual conflict, the adherents interpreting scripture in different manners. Christianity touts supplication, charity, but there are countless contradictions. 

We see many examples of the the expressions of dominance sought by Islamists. If Islamists seek to dominate all religions and their scripture advocates killing of non-adherents, why all the effort by secularists to describe Islam as a peaceful religion? 

The code of Islam is segregationist by the scripture. 

I do wish them any ill will, but I also do not see this being solved in my lifetime.

That's Just Wrong

A Half Million Miles of Road Trips

This summer I had reason to call an old friend with whom I had become estranged.

Not having his contact information, I called his older brother whose whereabout I did know. 

That brother is Sam Allen, and he did put me in contact with his younger brother.

Sam and I talked some of motorcycles, me proudly sharing that I had finally stepped up and purchased a Road King with which I am still becoming familiar.

Anyway, Sam described to me his YouTube channel about Route 66 and talked of a couple of books he had written.

A Half Million Miles of Road Trips is the first of these two books. It reads like the diary of man that wants to share how he has loved life.  The diary includes many vignettes of experiences had, places visited and persons that made impressions.  Primary focus was on good places to visit on Route 66.

Sam and his family have been important people in life, his parents and brothers are all dear to my heart. 

If you are a motorcycle person, a Route 66 aficionado, or seeking a fun read, order the book  

Rikki

I heard that the Steely Dan song was about Rick Derringer.

Not sure about that, to me the song smacked of being about a homosexual relationship.

Here is Rick’s other hit.

At the Center of It

At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.
