A few words...

 For my first blog post, I suppose an introduction of myself is in order and my intent with this blog.

My name is Tim and I am a middle aged, middle class father of two and a Christian. My education level, officially, is some college; however, I am a firm believer in self-education and continuing education. 

What I have seen in our political environment disturbs me and I will be using this blog to post my thoughts and express what I perceive to be a better path forward. My intent is to use topics and occurances that we experience today and apply historical perspective to these things in hopes of aiding in navigation of a better path. My thoughts are mine alone, but some reading may find common ground and through that we come to a consensus for a path forward. I will share stories, articles, and books that I find to be relevant to a better path forward.

Thank you for your time. Together and with reason, we can move toward a better path.

Progressivism

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, Library of Congress Yes, Ol' Teddy and Woodrow were progressives. Progressivism is a political and social ideology that advocates for reform and improvement of society through governmental action, most accurately, government force . Progressives seek to address the underlying causes of social issues and support modernization, scientific and technological improvements, and changes in the political system to better represent the people’s interests. Check my link page! Core Principles: Social Progress : The belief in the ability and duty to improve society and the lives of its citizens, often through coercive reform. Equality : Progressives aim to reduce economic, racial, and gender disparities through targeted reforms. Equality in outcome rather than equality in possibility. Democracy : Enthusiastic support for making the political process more transparent and increasing public participation in government. This is often communicated as ...

Quick Hits #2

Trump Wins New Hampshire.      Donald Trump easily takes New Hampshire from Nikki Haley, although the race was much closer than Iowa. While this gives Trump great advantage, South Carolina may be a closer race than one thinks. Trump has recently been ordered to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll in a defamation suit. Wither we believe the charges and such against Trump are true or false, the hits keep coming. At what point will the "straw that breaks the camels back" fall? At what point do we realize that Trump cannot win the general election? Will it be after a November loss? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is polling at  20% in some political areas. We need to understand that Kennedy is a Democrat who believes that the DNC, and the "woke" citizens, have lost their minds. Even running as an Independent, Kennedy could win. He will pull votes from Trump and many from Biden. He needs to be taken seriously and the GOP needs to take a long hard look, before the South Carolina pr...

Trump and Jesus

If you haven't heard, in the latest conspiracy rumors, Trump is part of God's plan to usher in Christ and His thousand year reign. Or something like that. First, let's be clear, seeing as how we don't know when He's coming back, one will be hard pressed to say Trump has anything to do with Jesus' return. Trump being a sign of His return is pressing way beyond any knowledge that we have from the scripture.  The return of Christ is often discussed and often debated, throwing Trump into the mix just makes it more convoluted. People sell many books tying this to that and that to this with the end result being confusion and fat pockets.  God uses what He wills for His will; there will be no end to that. Guessing the inner workings of His will is a futile attempt, not to mention can cause us to have the scripture say something that it doesn't. We have some pretty stern warnings against that.  Please, if you support Trump, fine. Leave Jesus out of that and give Him...
