About me
I aspire to be a Southern Christian gentleman, one of the most universally reviled creatures still extant. Still and all, it's not so bad, y'all.

Jesus Christ is my King and Savior, and His Word is truth. I believe that. Really, I do.

I am a rotten sinner, as you may concur, and so I am all the more grateful for His grace towards me in Christ.

My occupation is law, and I am a very happy husband (8 years) and a very happy father of three. In our times, I almost feel like I should apologize for that, but I'm not going to. Being happily married with happy children is normal. All the other stuff isn't.

I hope my clips on here are helpful and sometimes entertaining, whether you find yourself opposed to my views and convictions or amenable to them. Enjoy!
Why I use Clipmarks

Most Non-news News of the Century

 I wouldn't have even read this article if I hadn't wanted to clip it here. I can't think of anything I care less about than these people picketing so they can get paid more to further numb and debauch America's minds. It is not a monumentally important issue. People in Hollywood and New York seem to have this idea that we all care. We read about you like we watch the freak show at a carnival. Unions are rackets to begin with, and this one has got to be one of the biggest jokes of all.

Immigration Insanity

by thunderscot  9-21-2007   
 The Minuteman walk around the border and call the cops if they see illegals crossing it. Would someone please tell me how this vigilanteism, racism, violence, or any other pet liberal sin (it's actually only a sin if not done for their causes...burning SUV's is OK, treating blacks and hispanics like they're incapable is OK). Why does anyone give half a hoot whether these groups and their ilk are displeased? I think I'm going to try and find a reason to do something in Kansas City now. Hmmm...that's going to be tricky.

Ad Hominem
thunderscot
by thunderscot  7-20-2007   
 This is interesting. An atheist discussion of ad hominem attack recognizes the validity of questioning credibility of a person making a claim as not an ad hominem argument, which, of course, is very different from rejecting a logical conclusion based on a person's own actions or associations with persons of ill repute. It seems, then, that atheists would recognize that a demand to supply sources is legitimately subject to a criticism of the credibility of that person's own sources, and such a criticism does not constitute ad hominem attack.

 What can you say to this? Our future presidents debating teaching sex to kindergartners. The debate's mere existence speaks volumes. Historical note--sex abuse and pedophilia did not skyrocket *before* there was sex ed in government schools.

Water War

 This is fascinating stuff, from a legal standpoint. Alabama and Florida want upstream Georgia lakes to release more water downstream. Since the Corps of Engineers controls most of it, bringing suit and resolving the disputes can prove pretty tricky. 22 billion gallons is a lot water. But the fish are happy...

 The comparisons are not perfect, but I think the lessons are there. If this is going to be a drawn out affair, then as a nation, we are going to need to revise our approach. And perhaps most importantly, to erode constitutional freedoms in the name of fighting an "ism" concedes defeat.

 Are markets moral? Christians historically have said yes, but now most of us seem to have accepted a free market principle with little criticism, self included. I'm rethinking that and would like to kick this around a bit. I don't think communism or socialism is the only alternative to a free market principle. I don't have a strong view on this; just want to discuss it, particularly with those who reject socialism/communism. I had to include the bit about Energizer buying Playtex...I'd rather not discuss it, but it's sort of potentially rich joke ground.

 Here comes trouble... He repeatedly lifted his feet up over his head and grabbed them with his hands during the ultrasound. He also kept doing what looked like blowing bubbles with his mouth. Maybe he picked up my habit of blowing smoke rings. He also kept bouncing back and forth off the walls of the uterus like he was in that old Atari ping pong game. We're lucky to get these pictures. We're at about 4 and half months. How many like my son have been dismembered, skulls punctured, brains sucked out, limbs torn one by one, vacuumed like spilled cat litter, and tossed down the drain of our nation's nastiest moral shithole? I don't mean to be shocking, but we really need some good shocking. Excuse my language, please, but pretty words don't do the trick to describe the bloody horror of our degradation. Abortion must end.

 All the talk about God and science and rain made me want to see some of His splendor and majesty as a reminder of His unbelievably gracious forgiveness of my sin. I know a lot of my comments and clips deal with the arguments for Christianity, but I have to tell y'all that knowing Jesus Christ goes far beyond those arguments, though it includes those arguments. I just thought I would "publicly" thank Him for His redemption of this poor sinner and His whole creation. I hope y'all enjoy the pics.

DeFacto Despotism
thunderscot
by thunderscot  7-10-2007   
 The critique is of us, not only of corporations. We have delegated responsibilities that ought to be non-delegable as a general rule (exceptions do but prove the rule). What Barry says about our delegation to corporations, however, is also true of our delegations to centralized government, a point with which I would not expect him to disagree. As such, these are equally a source of many cultural problems.

Perennial Grain Cropping
thunderscot
by thunderscot  7-10-2007   
 Crops that reseed themselves need no tillage, which means they are capable of producing their own fertilizers and soil culture that can both provide necessary nutrients and control pest populations. This is important work, though most of us take no thought for the food we stick in our bellies, where it comes from, or how its production has affected future generations. Our bellies are all that matters. God created a good earth for us to tend, and even husband.

 David Vitter needs to find something else to do. Men sin and fall all the time, and I stand ready to live by the same standard. But if you are a public servant, and you are incapable of controlling yourself by not consorting with whores, you are not qualified. His response to his sin, if genuine, which it appears to be, is good, but the consequences remain that the right thing for him to do is find a different way to provide for his family and serve his community.

 Perverts dykes and fags are not normal happy people. I hate to even bring attention to this sort of twisted psychotic depravity, but the sodomites want you to think they're okay, and that you should let them indoctrinate your children, and you need to know the truth, unpleasant and degrading as it is.

The Agrarian Standard
thunderscot
by thunderscot  7-9-2007   
 There is an earth stewardship that avoids the error of earth worship, while recognizing that God created all things and "it was very good." This article talks a little about this. Christian conservation and stewardship were around long before environmental whackoism, although admittedly many have forgotten that once precious party of our Christian heritage. I pray for its recovery.

 Another example of official anti-Christian persecution in America. I hope the rest of the world will pray for us and send us missionaries. Sodomites and other perverts are bending over (pardon the pun) to silence the Church. The Church will prevail in this God-hating nation as it has in every other nation that has set itself against her.

 I'm not sure of Dunne's method, but if he can afford to A) not pass the bar and B) fight the bar association, I am glad to see someone calling the sodomy-pushers to account for their attempts to screen out all non-perverts from their favored profession. As one facing a bar exam in a couple of weeks, I'm sure I'll face some of the same crap. Unfortunately, I need to enter the profession prior to working for its reformation.
