Have we lost our minds?

Have we?

Much of what has transpired in the last few weeks borders on absurd. We have: the Delta variant of COVID that is locking people's minds up, a government who spent countless lives, hours, and treasure on an Afghanistan government only to see it topple like a game of dominoes, conspiracy theorists saying Trump is part of Armageddon, and I'm sure I'm missing a few things.

COVID is real. The Delta variant is real. Our reaction to it? Have we lost our minds? Mandatory vaccines? Really? Is anyone looking at the real data instead of the talking heads?

Afghanistan was a mess from the beginning. Hey, Russia went broke fighting in that land. In my opinion, we never should have occupied it at all; so let's just leave it all for the bad guys oh and in the process leave Americans vulnerable in the region. Really? Have we lost our minds?

Trump. Y'all. Trump is not our savior. There's only one savior and His name is Christ. Please stop with the prophecy. Have we lost our minds?

Is anyone else feeling this way? I hope it is not just me.

Libertarianism

Murray Rothbard, attributed to the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Libertarianism is a political philosophy that emphasizes individual liberty as its key principle. It advocates for a minimal state presence in the lives of individuals, arguing that people should be free to live as they choose, provided they do not infringe on the rights of others. The core ideas of libertarianism revolve around the concepts of personal freedom, economic freedom, and a skepticism of authority, especially governmental authority. Here is a detailed summary of its main tenets, variations, and criticisms: Core Tenets: Individual Liberty: Libertarianism places the highest value on individual freedom, believing that individuals have the right to make choices for themselves in all aspects of their lives. This includes freedom of speech, religion, association, and the right to privacy. Limited Government: Libertarians advocate for a government that is limited in scope and powers, focusing primarily on protectin

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

Where Do We Start?

George Washington, Prayer at Valley Forge, National Archives, Engraving by John McRae from painting by Henry Brueckner Its been a while since I have posted, as I was at a loss for words. The following are some introductory thoughts on where we are wrong and how we can begin to get back to being who the pioneers of this country intended us to be. It was God's design for man to be free. When I say free, I mean without earthly overlord. From the beginning, Abraham followed the law of the land but only faithful to God. As a matter of fact, so much was his great faith that the Hebrew writer states several times in chapter 11, "...by faith Abraham". Yes, it is my intention to directly tie faithfulness to God with freedom. That specific thought will be developed in later posts, but for now we see that Abraham really had no king but God. The Israelites had no king when they left Egypt. Yes, they had Moses, but Moses took his direction straight from God. The Israe
