Commentary: What is your line in the sand?

At some point we walk away because it is no longer worth the price.

December 22, 2022 - Everyone has a line in the sand when it comes to inflated prices they refuse to pay. For one WalMart shopper I observed, it was a carton of eggs for close to $10. She announced her line in the sand verbally, with great force and sincerity.

What's your line in the sand, the point at which you simply refuse to pay the asking price? Is it the $25 burger? Or is it the $50 for two burritos and two beverages?

The story of the Christmas Truce of 1914 - and its eternal message

December 20, 2022 - War had already been waging in Europe for months when Pope Benedict issued a plea from Rome on Dec. 7, 1914, to leaders of Europe: declare a Christmas truce.

Benedict saw how badly peace was needed, even if it was only for a day. The First Battle of Ypres alone, fought from October 19 to November 22, had resulted in some 200,000 casualties (mostly German and French soldiers, but also thousands of English and Belgians). The First Battle of the Marne was even worse.

In light of this carnage, the pope asked, "that the guns may fall silent at least upon the night the angels sang."

The European leaders ignored his plea.

PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - December 21, 2022 - Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s legal team said Wednesday that a review of 113 randomly chosen ballots cast in the November election found that 48% - or 42.5% - were invalid because they were “19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper.”

It’s kind of hard to contemplate that in such a high-tech world, ridiculous errors like this could still happen. You can’t get the ballot size right? Come on.

Commentary: The biggest obstacle to real freedom is the belief that we already have it

December 11, 2022 - If you live in one of the so-called free democracies of the Western world, the worst mistake you can make is to buy into the hype; to believe you are a free individual in a nation that respects and protects your freedom and individuality.

NEW YORK (PNN) - December 10, 2022 - Gun rights advocates warned that a new change to the credit card industry to add a firearm and ammunition-specific Merchant Category Code (MCC) for gun stores wasn't about tracking guns necessarily, but could lead to the denial
of lawful firearms purchases by law-abiding citizens.

Commentary: Why freedom is the goal

December 9, 2022 - In online interviews and conversations I’m hearing intellectuals in the national conservative movement say that the liberal Enlightenment “project” has mostly failed because people need more in their lives than freedom. I’ve also heard this from a few people who have lately become disillusioned with Leftism but yet are uneasy about libertarianism.

John Lennon’s opinion about overpopulation

Submitted by Freedomman on Thu, 12/15/2022 - 14:02

In this Dick Cavett interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lennon expresses how he believes the fear-mongering being promoted by media and governments is only a ruse to take attention away from the more important issues facing the world. Cavett disagreed with Lennon and Lennon said clearly that he doesn’t care that Cavett disagrees with him. We do miss the special being that was John Lennon.

December 13, 2022 - Imagine a large, dark, windowless room filled with hundreds of people. Then imagine that one person lights a small candle, bringing a ray of light to that dark room. That person uses his candle to light someone else’s candle, bringing a bit more light to the room. Each person with a lit candle then lights someone else’s candle. Before long, the darkness in that room has been extinguished.
