Trump’s Healthcare Executive Action- The Good And The Worrisome
This Trump executive order causes a lot of conflicting feelings in the minds of conservatives. On one hand, he has taken a shot at the liberty-stealing, dead weight on the American economy, Obamacare. On the other, it sounds like he may have overexerted his power in this executive order, which causes concern for the liberty-minded... Continue Reading →
Why Rights Should Not Be Revoked Because Of One Person
Here's a little story: In between classes at a grade school, a teacher's cell phone went missing, presumably taken by a student in the prior class.

Guns Don’t Kill People, Materialism Kills People
I want to begin this with a personal message. I kept myself from writing this post until people had time to grieve and to mourn the dead from last week's shooting. I didn't want to speak emotionally or rashly by releasing a post that day. I didn't want to catch ratings because of being simply... Continue Reading →
Born Equal Does Not Mean Equal Outcome
Picture the Olympic pool with all the swimmers on their blocks, ready for the race. They are the same distance from the water. The pool is the same length for every lane, and every lane is the same width. Each swimmer has the same set of rules that apply to them. When the starter shoots,... Continue Reading →
Machiavellian: A Satanic Description Or The Ultimate Compliment?
Machiavelli has become somewhat of a shadowy figure in history. He is an enigma in modern minds. However, Niccolo Machiavelli was a rather normal man devoid of evil intentions. But why has his name become synonymous with evil, shadowy plots? By understanding his life and his works, it becomes obvious what his intentions were. He... Continue Reading →
Kneeling For The Flag Is Contrary To The Stated Goal
Kneeling for the National Anthem has become a symbol of disobedient protest of police brutality. While everyone obsesses over the action, calling it un-American or a courageous act, many ignore what it truly means. The question at hand here, is not about the players' right to protest or the president's tweets or any of... Continue Reading →
Warning: Debt, Deficit and Unfunded Liabilities Could Destroy Your Retirement Plans
If your retirement plan relied on government pensions or social security, and you thought Medicare and Medicaid would be there to support you, then you’re in for a rude awakening. Since FDR, the federal government has been making promises that it know it cannot fulfill or sustain, but soon the repercussions of our government’s fiscal... Continue Reading →
Can Robots Give Consent?
We have a new moral dilemma to face as a generation. Can you rape a robot? Now, if you've seen the stories about sex robots you have probably heard of people standing up for the rights of robots. Never mind for a minute that we are giving rights to inanimate objects before we do so... Continue Reading →
School Gets An F In My Class
Education has been constrained over the last few decades to simply mean school. It’s a series of levels that need to be reached until all the basic requirements have been reached, just like a video game. The current educational system isn’t only not useful, but counterproductive. I intend to show you the flaws in the... Continue Reading →
Fight With Words, Not Fists
Violence is all too readily used today in our political discourse. We need to fight with words, not fists if we want to improve our politics.
What is tolerance?
Today, tolerance seems to be marked by defending any position except for intolerance. And intolerance is simply not holding the fashionable believes of the political left. But what really is tolerance, and how can we apply it properly in our society so that it reaps rewards. For instance, saying that you are morally opposed to... Continue Reading →
The Reason I Believe In SteemIt
I believe in our Bill of Rights that we have in the United States. I think it is the greatest source of freedom and protection from tyranny man ever created. The rights and protections it gives the people of our country were groundbreaking, and writing them expressly into law solidified them and restrained our government.... Continue Reading →
A Nuanced Argument on Social Services
As a kid growing up in a Catholic home, I always felt a push to help those who are in need. I went to Catholic schools and was always required to do service hours, but every time I would go above and beyond (this isn't to brag, rather I just wasn't the best at sports... Continue Reading →
