This is why to stop the Islamic State Caliphate Harshly

   I saw this news article this morning about the beheading of a citizen in Okalahoma http://www.cbsnews.com/news/police-woman-beheaded-at-oklahoma-workplace/    The United States should stop the IS caliphate in the Middle East very harshly with a strong show of nuclear force to precisely make an example out of them. I tried to tell people this stuff would happen here and they mocked and scoffed. If people put up with threatening harsh Islamists for the sake of tolerance, this is what you will get. We have religious freedom, yes, but take a stand against evil please and have a sense of decency.  If we do not take a stronger stand against them in the Middle East, it will spread on U.S. soil and everyone will be very sorry. Stomp them out over there. Rammstein them. Pummel them with weaponry. End the discussion fast. Floor it on them.  Level the entire area down to where you can till the whole region like a field, just like Jerusalem was once leveled down and they tilled the area lik

Have We Lost What Decency Means, As Well?

   The dictionary definition from Merriam-Webster online for "decency" is- "polite, moral, and honest behavior and attitudes that show respect for other people."  To go "on the attack" and employ character assassination strategies in response to small details and quibbles does not display "decency" in the right sense of the term. A person with decency displays tolerance and respect for those who are different from him or her. The Leftist practitioners of our country actually have very little tolerance or respect for those with opinions other from what they hold. There is no sense of decency.    It is actually decent to stand up against evils such as the Islamic State, and the slow encroachment of the communist/social agenda in America. We have a decent country to begin with, with a good understanding of decency and mutual understanding of morals and cooperation. The Islamic State is a very bad theocratic Shariah law, Islamofascist undertaking.

How Did Love Get a Bad Name? I don't think it was Bon Jovi

  The song "You Give Love a Bad Name" has lyrics we can use to talk about what love means today. It is people's bad behavior and the way that they talk which has given love a bad name in today's society and culture. Biblically, love is a concept which praiseworthy and excellent. It is completely different from lust and sex ( eros ) and it is a powerful thing from God. Let us look at the lyrics to the Bon Jovi song. This is an excerpt only from the first verse and chorus. "Shot through the heart and you're to blame Darlin' you give love a bad name An angel's smile is what you sell You promise me heaven then put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passion's a prison you can't break free Oh! You're a loaded gun, yeah Oh! There's nowhere to run No one can  save  me The  damage  is done Shot through the heart and you're to blame You give love a bad name (Bad name) I  play  my part and you play your ga

Communication and Discourse Concerns for the Modern Age

   How are we to bring up delicate or sensitive subject matters to one another in conversation without offending people or turning them off? Society today tends to have a blanch and a blush about certain subject matters. When I consider some of my previous blogs, it is those specific subjects sometimes which cause a blanch and a blush and make conversation harder between people. The answer is to have direct and logical conversational procedures, operating upon a principle of trust, such as I have seen in the libretto (words) to Mozart's Don Giovanni, the opera I loved as a teenager, and as an adult. The Italian libretto was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte. That's a funny name for him, because the words get right to the point. Examine the following conversation between Leporello and the Don, translated to English. "DON GIOVANNI Come on now, hurry up. What do you want? LEPORELLO It's a very important matter DON GIOVANNI I believe you LEPORELLO Most important DO

Blog Title Explanation

   The blog's title simply means that when I have to blog to the public about my wide-ranging concerns, I post here. It doesn't mean I believe that people should only communicate on the internet or something. This is a good way to communicate to everyone who follows me. I'm actually a strong believer in face-to-face communication. However, being a well-known person, God has given me a burden for people, and I feel urged to continue communicating in a public place because of all I know.
