The Holdfast

I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels.

I suppose I should not be surprised by reports of ruthless editing in Wikipedia to exclude certain points of view, but I guess I really was surprised. Sometimes I get taken in by all the geeky goodness of freely shared information, and I somehow think that neutrality and free debate will be the result. Alas, the reality of fallen human nature always intrudes. Wikipedia still has a lot of good information, but let’s not fool ourselves about the neutrality of it.

This is what I’ve been saying for longer than Peggy Noonan, but she says it so much better than me.

The mainstream media, bless their ugly, leftist hearts. The elites who couldn’t care less about your safety, if a terrorist’s safety is in danger. National Review’s website runs a great article today about the kind of people we’re up against.

I know I’m beating a drum, but here it is again: The political problems in this country, humanly speaking, are between Washington and the people, not between Demopublicans and Republicrats. See Peggy Noonan’s new article.

I want to clarify that there is no political problem that is not really a heart problem with hearts not connected to Christ. Only one Kingdom is really important, and this isn’t it. But just as it’s sad to see poorly coded software, a badly built building, or an ugly city, it’s even more sad to see a nation being thrown away. As custodians of this earth, we should do better.

Because Bush and the Republicans are abandoning them, just like the Democratic Party did 40 years ago. Your representatives are selling you out.

I can’t resist. Politics continually intrudes upon my thinking. Music commentary will come back; however, for the time being, read this paragraph which expresses exactly the frustration which I feel.

Well, I haven’t blogged anything for a while, so how about a reference to this article at :: Metro Pulse Online ::. It’s about time to stop voting for Republicans if they want to destroy the country financially.
