1. All human thought is either ‘science-based’ or ‘fantasy-based’. These are mutually exclusive, and there are no other possibilities. 2. Everything I like is ‘science-based’. 3. Because it is ‘science-based’, it has value in all situations. People who believe it are smart and good. 4. Everything I don’t like is ‘fantasy-based’. 5. Because it is […]

A Thought as Orwell Spins…
The political party currently telling you that the police are racist brutes who cannot be trusted, is the same political party which says that you should forfeit your Constitutionally-affirmed right to self-defense, because police are the only ones which should be trusted with guns.
On Taxation
It is not true that “taxation is theft”. But it is also not true that the confiscation of earnings is a tax. That is not how taxes work. All payroll deductions are a specialized case of indentured servitude. One in which the “servant” did nothing to deserve his bondage, and will never be allowed to […]
Correlation
It is an interesting correlation that all of the mass shooters were “mentally ill, and victims of American mental healthcare deficiencies”… And were also liberals.
We Forget the Lessons of Vietnam
I was going to do a political cartoon about our abandonment of the Kurds turning allies against us… But it’s already happened. The whole area aligning with Syria and RUSSIA. And hundreds of ISIS prisoners have already escaped from the facilities we left behind with forces about to be wiped out by Turkey. The response […]

Me (in response to a Facebook meme): Atheism is fundamentally incompatible with science. Atheist A: “I would like you to explain that.

I would say young earth creationism is incompatible with […]

I started training in Shotokan karate and Cheng-system taiji in college, before being introduced to wonderful style called Hwarang-Do by a […]
Conversations with Oath-Breakers, 16SEP18
Him: “Civilians shouldn’t have AR-15s!” Me: Didn’t serve, or oath-breaker? Him: “I was a tank commander!” Me: All you had to say was “oath-breaker”. Him: “I am an American.” Me: Did you magically become a tank commander without swearing an oath to defend the Constitution? Or did your oath come with an expiration date? If […]
Conversations with Wannabe Despots 06JUNE18
From Twitter (paraphrased for brevity and clarity): Them: “Public businesses have to be open for the whole public!” Me: It was a private business. Them: “Conservatives never consider that businesses are supported by police and fire departments. No business is an island.” Me: If anyone had the choice to opt out, that would be a […]
Hamophobes
“So, how did you like the tuna salad sandwich at that new deli?” “Well, it wasn’t tuna salad.” “Yes, it was! It said so right on the menu!” “Well, it was made with ham. That makes it ham salad, not tuna salad.” “You’re just afraid of change! You’re intimidated by things that challenge your tiny […]
