Memorial Day

The sight of Arlington National Cemetary never fails to give me chills, regardless of season. Row upon row of neatly marked headstones in gently rolling terrain brings some sense of order to the chaos of death.  It is hallowed ground. It is haunting ground. Photographer John Moore captured this image in 2007. He writes: The [...]

Let’s Roll

Nancy Sinatra writes in the Washington Times: For many years following my USO tour, I was looking for some way to continue to help our troops and veterans, and I needed to share with someone the profound feelings I came away with after seeing war firsthand.When Artie Muller invited me to join Rolling Thunder, I [...]

And folks wonder why I blog anonymously, part II

I feel sick to my stomach after reading Patterico’s tale of extreme harassment–no terrorization– at the hands of lefties who can’t argue ideas, so they resort to violence to intimidate folks like Patterico into silence instead. They have targeted his employer, his wife, and his family, while bragging about the damage they’ve done to others. [...]

Got it on Craigslist!

Isn’t it adorable? A real deal Thinking Chair!! Got it for a steal on Craigslist! My older son’s old bike he outgrew (like everything else these days) – sold it on Craigslist! The ball pit for the younger son? Found it Craigslist! The backless bar stools we replaced with chairs with backs (ah comfort) – sold [...]

Oh history, inevitability and same sex marriage

A very useful reminder from Rich Lowry:   History is littered with the wreckage of causes pronounced inevitable by all right-thinking people. The failed Equal Rights Amendment looked inevitable when it passed Congress in 1972 and immediately 30 states ratified it. Opposition to abortion that was supposed to inevitably wither away is as robust as [...]

Flyover country update

Julia obviously doesn’t live in Kansas. (And I promise: I’m in the passenger seat!)

A Nightmare That Will Last Forever

“All we wanted was a family. Instead, we were landed with a nightmare that will  last forever,” So says an embittered consumer who didn’t get the commodity she ordered an anguished mother who was implanted with the sperm from a man with a different race.   More family structures are crashing down.  As IVF numbers increase, [...]

Don’t forget to turn on the lights tonight

And let the house blaze. Celebrate Human Achievement Hour.  Via CEI: On March 31, some people will be sitting in the dark to express their “vote” for action on global climate change. Instead, you can join CEI and the thousands of people around the world who will be celebrating Human Achievement Hour (HAH). Leave your [...]

I guess I am a robot, then

Is it just me, or does anyone else have perpetual problems proving you’re not among the robots? I apparently always fail the type-the-wavy-text and have just failed the hearing test as well because I couldn’t identify one of the words of the string. At two different blogs trying to leave comments. (But if I’m a [...]

Who me?

Someone out there nominated me for one of Mom Circle’s Top 25 Political Moms of 2012. There are 40 nominees, and very few conservatives littering the list of über-liberals. Though I will say I’m a little awed to be included among the conservative mom bloggers: Michelle Malkin, Backyard Conservative, Melissa Clouthier, Jenny Erikson, Lori Ziganto and The Lonely Conservative. (Um. [...]
