Palate Cleanser: Married 38 years – you think *I* know?

Yes, I chuckled because sometimes it CAN seem that way.  Best is the “FINE!” retort – man, are you in deep sneakers!  And the “I don’t care” said several times is a ‘tell’ that TMEW DOES care but I’m not going to find out how, over what, and when.  I’ve been told I’ve above average … Read more

The NH Log Cabin Republicans want the state GOP to join them in playing Jenga with civilization by removing the marriage plank from its platform.  Bad idea.

You Are Worth the Wait

The Holidays are both a very merry time of year, as it should be, but also a very depressing and sad time for many. There are many people who are blessed to spend time with their family and friends, while others feel completely left out. This is especially true for single men and women. Those … Read more

Why Celibacy Matters

Our nation has strayed so far from what it used to be. Our morality has eroded, and the results are devastating. I’m 29 years of age and I have grown up in this culture which, since my teenage years, has embraced just about every kind of immoral act you can think of, with the exception of a few hideous acts which I won’t bother even mentioning.

It first started with the acceptance and normalization of sex outside of marriage.

They Like to Try to Weaponize Our Morality Against Us

Go Pound SandKurt Schlichter has invested some time to help the peeps deal with progressive mic-drop rubbish designed to prevent debate or silence dissent. He calls them obnoxious liberal argument cheats. And he’s got a reliable answer for each that I’ve advocated for years. So read them all. But I wanted to share at least one of his scenarios because this one comes at us from all sides.

They like to try to weaponize our morality against us, which is hilarious since they hate morality almost as much as they hate us. They create some sort of moral test, usually out of thin air, and then announce you have failed it. One of the best was the recent “Splitting up families of undocumented workers is not who we are!” Except it is who we are. We split up the families of criminals all the time and we should – there’s no nursery in San Quentin for a reason.

NH Republicans Decide The Hill to Die on is Letting Men Use the Ladies Room

Chris SununuWhy are the illuminated Establishment political lights in the NHGOP and GOP, several of whom should know better, pitching a cultural Marxist progressive issues “tent” in front of legislators and elected Republican Delegates when the electorate is more interested in expanding jobs, protecting tax reform, economic growth, and national security issues with a local impact like the opioid crisis?

Whose bright idea was that?

JHo Plot To Wreck NHGOP Platform Get’s Stuffed

J-Hos rules of disorderLong story short, because you’ll get the long story soon enough, Jennifer Horn is trying to strip traditional marriage out of the Republican state party platform. (Read Carolyn’s brilliant rebuttal to that here.) But someone challenged Jho’s credentials as a delegate.

Kathy Dunton did play-by-play on her facebook page as the events unfolded.

Marriage and the NHGOP

marriage

By Carolyn McKinney – (Reposted)

To advocates for removing “traditional” from marriage in the NHGOP platform.

First, you are guilty of using the most frustrating and pernicious leftist debate tactic.

To try to make your case, you use examples outside the norm – such as families who adopt, grandparents raising their grandchildren, single parents due to the death of a spouse – in an attempt to undermine the norm. It’s no different than those who are pro-abortion trying to undermine opposition to abortion by raising rare cases of rape and incest, or more recently, using the existence of intersex persons to try to undermine natural sex/gender.

Many of us have friends or family whose situation is exactly one of those examples, but their efforts are a compassionate response to a crisis, not something that we should set as a legal standard.

Second, articulating an ideal is not exclusionary.

Republicans Against Free Speech

NHGOP Woodshed
Taking them out to the Woodshed again…

Carolyn McKinney’s rebuttal to “some Republicans” pushing to remove the word ‘traditional’ as a qualifier to the word ‘marriage’ in the New Hampshire Republican State Platform is brilliant. It’s so good those Republicans don’t want you to read it. (If you have problems with the above link the piece is also cross-posted here.)

Somone or perhaps a few someones are flagging every effort to post this on Facebook as in violation of Facebook’s rules making it difficult to share.

GrokTALK! July 18th, 2015

Single young women: You can marry young if you want to! NOOO! Don’t do it!

This girl is baaaad! Believes in marriage! Run her out of town!
This girl is BAD! Believes in young marriage! Run her out of town!

(Well, Skip said I could write about anything that interests me. Sooo…here goes.)

Sheesh. My interest was piqued this morning when I ran across an article by young Julia Shaw in Slate. Published just two days ago, Ms. Shaw’s thesis for women in their 20’s is that “you don’t have to wait till you’re 30 or older to get married. If you find the right guy, it’s okay to get married young…even desirable!” (Hmmm and…uh oh.)

That’s interesting, I thought, not least because I’ve got a millennial-generation daughter myself. But whew! The article—entitled “I got married at 23. What are the rest of you waiting for?”—set off a virtual conflagration! I mean…

He’s Even Got That ‘New Pope’ Smell.

Francis I, the new leader of the catholic church, is likely to get more than a few liberals to jump back on their crazy-train.  That’s because he’s a Catholic.  No, not your Pelosi-Biden ‘garden variety’ left wing catholic, who claims to be catholic–Pope Francis is an actual C-A-T-H-O-L-I-C. Francis has this crazy idea that marriage has something to do … Read more
