Blood on Whose Hands?
For the past several days, I have been told that, as a member of the NRA, I “have blood on my hands”, and that I should, in fact, be killed for “wanting to arm teachers.” That stricter gun control was the only possible answer to the recent violent attacks. Let’s examine these ideas: Chicago, Illinois …
Outrage
The American Left (laughably called “liberals”, but more accurately known as “Progressivists”) has spent the greater part of the last century attacking every vehicle of belief in our society. They have done horrible work in undermining our heroes, our patriotism, every religion (and Christianity in particular), and even the family itself. These are the people …
Penn, Science and Religion
“If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a …

A Thought Experiment
Imagine that Mr. Aoi, a former community college teacher of Arbitrary Taxonomy, has just written a book (“The Color-Blind Paintingmaker”) alleging that the color “red” does not exist. Rather, it is a culturally-reinforced mass delusion, probably (according to Mr. Aoi) originating in man’s primitive desire to glorify warfare and violent sexual conquest by romanticizing blood, …
