When I told Drew Montez Clark https://drewmontezclark.com/ about the 3 legged stool of conservatism--defend the constitution, reduce government, put citizens first--he noted the seat that holds them together is God. Politics may be the vehicle but religion, as defined as belief in God and His purpose for us, is the driver.
We need only look at the beauty of creation to know that God is Good; we need only think of the vastness of the universe to know that God is Powerful; we need only gaze int...
My daughter e-mailed me a quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger stating we should follow the “experts’” advice about Covid-19. When you find fewer people voicing your opinion it means you’re misinformed. Here’s what I wrote back:
A totalitarian government owns all the experts and stifles all dissent. Last year Fauci went on record saying masks were unnecessary and the shutdown need only be for a month or two. Now he's saying Trump forced him to say that--I don't trust anyone who will ...
Whether it’s economic, political, emotional or physical, we are all slaves in one way or another since we are not completely free to choose our own destiny. The idea that skin color is the only thing that defines slavery is as ludicrous as the idea that there is only one type of vice in the world. Peasant, serf, or slave, 99% of humanity since we became a species has had few life choices under our control. Our country’s founders changed that: most Americans believe they have a lot of...
Do I reject white supremacy? I reject the entire Democrat party premise that this nation is divided by our skin color. I reject the idea that anyone is better or worse than anyone else, or even that anyone is better or worse OFF simply because of their skin color in this country. I believe there is only one race, the HUMAN race, created by God and given by Him the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is a belief I share with the founders of this country, that is writt...
When I became President 3 years ago, I asked all my military people--not just the Washington generals but field generals and their staff, any war veterans that came to the White House--how they would finish the War on Terror that’s been going on unabated for decades. I got a few unhelpful answers, but a surprising number said this: identify the leaders of terror, track them, spy on them, and when you have enough evidence of what they’ve done and what they’re planning on doing, unmercif...
Politically I’m a fiscal conservative, social moderate, and environmental liberal—in that order of priority. I’ve been confused and frustrated by the direction of Vermont and US governance for a long time, and have lost confidence in the power of my vote.
Hundreds of bills get introduced in our state legislature each year—thousands in Congress—many of them outrageously lengthy and complicated. Ke...
Left or right, I hate when politicians use spin words to try and win their argument. When the world was experiencing 20 years of hot weather "global warming" screamed from the headlines. It was quietly retired after a few years of cold weather followed, and "climate change" was inserted in its place--used as if climate change wasn't a natural phenomenon. As an environmental liberal I applaud their motives but deplore their t...
Peter Nichols in the
December 26 opinion page stated Charles Krauthammer is "not bound by any
commitment to truth...and has almost nothing in common with Santa Cruz."
Wikipedia noted that
Krauthammer was a highly successful psychiatrist before turning to political
commentary--initially as a liberal in the early...

I'm 66 years old in 2020! I'm coming to accept that I'll make no earth-shattering accomplishments in my life, having tried (and failed) at launching some pretty far-fetched ideas (like VoteKISS), projects (like running for US Senator), and career moves (like raising and butchering meat birds). I've (almost) been content to be my grandchildren's baby sitter for the last 6 years, but hubby's retired and wants me by his side now that the grandchildren are no longer babies. So we've begun the life of Snowbirds (winter in FL, summer in VT). NEVER know what you'll be when you grow up! |
