I don’t understand peoples need to manufacture the world around them. They believe that they can control nature. They believe they can control their gender. They believe they can control peoples’ judgement and perceptions of them. They now believe they can control societal change. And here’s the real coup de grâce- they believe that they ought to be able to control your thoughts and expression. What is with these young people thinking they can somehow revolutionize the world into some warped nightmare with the word “justice” attached? Why are people so quick to play the race card and defend causes despite factual evidence? Why must black people insist that its other people thats the problem without looking within? Why are all these white people self-flagellating as if by doing so they are somehow better? I don’t get these young people and the sad part is I’m stuck with them for the next 50+ years. Total lack of accountability, responsibility, perception, wisdom, and fortitude.

These recent incidents in the news about Ferguson are disgusting and downright neanderthal. You would think we have the perspective and intelligence to understand how the legal process works. You would think we understood by now how the media and social justice cretins are eating this free publicity up. Stop to really think about it. The media has everyone in a tizzy simply because a boy in some county nobody cares about was killed by a police officer. This was no normal innocent boy mind you. This was not a child who was taught at home the value of education and personal responsibility. Why is it that these cretins latch onto stories of people with very questionable pasts and actions even as recently as minutes before the incident that took their life? What is the point of defending the indefensible? These are never situations where innocent people are being shot walking down the street. Its always a case where personal responsibility has been discarded. A case where facts are not necessarily true and your inner feelings trump evidence. Where personal background is somehow unimportant if it doesn’t shine a favorable light on someone’s character.
Pointless=Climate March. Accomplishing absolutely nothing. Remember all that wasted time on Occupy Wall Street? No doubt this “movement” will share the same fate. Forgotten within days.
It certainly is saddening when someone with significant impact on society dies. Of course this is not to say someone like Robin Williams is worth more than any other person. But nevertheless its not at all surprising to hear yet another outwardly successful but inwardly troubled person taking their own life, especially an actor. Many people will point to a lack of help for depression and the need to aid those suffering with this mental illness. While that certainly is a tangible step that can be taken, society (especially Western society) will discount the soul and spirit of a person. It pains me as a Christian to hear about people like Mr. Williams who feel empty inside. The tragedy in all this is that I know the solution to erasing that emptyness.
It seems the Middle East conflict is the new hipster issue that people are latching on to. And naturally people are siding with the more peaceful and socially enlightened side of the opposing sides. Surprisingly they are not. While I agree that aid ought to be cutback to Israel as it is sovereign, I find it hard to find sympathy for the Palestinian “nation.” Sure on a human level I can feel empathy for their human struggle and cultural history. But when you are talking about a tiny nation in Israel who regularly stands up for itself against its neighbors from all sides I too find some admiration for their struggle. Many young people are hardly taught about the conflicts in 1948, 1967, 1973, 1978, 1982, 2008, and even the new activity occurring presently. All of these have one thing in common- aggression was first started by Israeli neighbors. So how can I take a group of people seriously when one side says the other ought to be wiped off the face of the earth and the other has not show aggression even going so far as to give back conquered territories? Why is it such a travesty to have the existence of a Jewish state? Why are people not pressuring these Palestinians and Muslims to stop the aggressive behavior? If they were to do so this conflict would not even exist. I am not Jewish or a Zionist so I am able to view through an objective lens. I cannot simply join the bandwagon on this issue, nor any issue really.
Very satisfied with the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision. While a small minority of women need contraceptives for medical purposes, the majority use it due to their chosen lifestyle choices. Its not the governments or anyones duty to pay for your contraceptives. Where did this ridiculous sense of entitlement come from?
Today marks 100 years exactly since the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. This event is largely attributed as a major precursor to the first World War conflict between the Central and Allied coalitions. But of course this cataclysmic event we know as the Great War where millions upon millions lost their lives pales in comparison to a bunch of homosexuals and transgenders creating civil disturbances. At least according to Tumblr.
Whats happening in Iraq is of no surprise to those knowledgeable of military conflicts throughout history. When you put a timetable of your involvement you are essentially declaring your own defeat. All the opponent needs to accomplish is outlasting your commitment to the conflict and a win is secured by default. Regardless of his own losses. And because we now have leadership in the United States that cares more about appearances rather than realities we see the chaotic remains of their ineptitude.
A mentally disturbed individual poses a far greater threat than an inanimate object. What is the common correlation between these shootings in gun-free safe zones besides the fact that a gun was the tool employed- mental instability. From what I’ve witnessed of the Tumblr “gun control debate outrage” people have a general lack of understanding of early American history hints why they are so quick to dismiss the 2nd amendment of the Constitution. They care less about the overall principle behind the law and would rather abolish it all together due to its “archaic nature.” Why stop at just the second amendment though? By employing this logic surely ending the first amendment will stop all speech and expression deemed to be harmful will it not? Furthermore I also question those that demand for more laws, as if more laws ever solved any problems.
The US is experiencing the same immigration fatigue as seen in the European Union. There is a threat that relatively open borders pose to employment and economic standard of living. New stories of 40,000 migrant children without parents crossing the Texas border is frightening stuff. What will happen to these children? Why were they forced north? They cannot be said to be criminals no. In Europe, thousands of migrants from the wars in Africa and the Middle East are crowding into E.U. nations. This is causing a natural reaction among the populations living in these developed countries, that is not attributed to anything more than adherence to the laws in place regarding immigration. Marine Le Pen in France expresses sentiments that many Americans can agree with. Its time that we stop being force fed this idea of amnesty for all and a free ticket into the United States.
Healthcare premiums and deductibles will go up along with property tax’s for schools to educate these influxes of children. Taxes will go up to place these individuals in homes and institutions, while we Americans continue to provide aid to these same countries where these individuals left from. Americans lose either way from political and economic to the national security risk.
