You’re all upset that the voters of one of the United States have sent a Muslim to congress? You say Islam is a terror cult, not a “real” religion? You say you’ve never heard of a religion where devotees carry weapons and have “hit squads”? Read history! War gods who favor the tribe that worships them are the most popular form of religion, historically. Most … Continue reading Anger Issues
By Paula Mandez On Zealous Thierry When I was a kid I never gave in to other people’s opinions about how I should look or how much I should weigh. Dieting was for weaklings. I felt superior to kids who were always talking about their weight and how little they ate. If a girl turned down dessert for fear of getting fat, I’d roll my … Continue reading Beach diet
By Jonathan Heifer On Zealous Thierry My dream? You’d never guess, to look at me. But when I was a little kid? I spent summers on a farm. My Dad’s grandparents’. Till I was six. When I was seven my parents divorced, and the summers stopped. My Great-Grands passed away not very long after. I don’t remember much about it, really. Except that I was … Continue reading My Dream
The same people who condemn abortion condemn birth control. They believe that sex itself, the bodily expression of love, is sinful– unless it is within the sacrament of marriage and unless each act of love is open to the possibility of conception. If you’re not married and aiming at pregnancy, no sex: Abstinence is the way! They want everyone– or at least every woman– to … Continue reading Arbotion!
I guess we are all experts on war. I’ve heard all I want to hear from armchair commanders, whether they are congressmen or the guy who flips burgers down at the diner. I’m only listening to Veterans at this point. They have plenty to say. Some are those against the war, and some are for it. A lot of soldiers believed that joining the Guard, … Continue reading War experts
People take sides, like they do with sports teams. One party is “My Side”, the “Good Guys”. Anytime your party’s the loser, and not in power, and the party that IS in power pushes their agenda aggressively, to you the president is a ‘strongman’ or a ‘dictator’. How did ED get this overwhelming power? Zimbabweans elected a majority of CCCs to sit in the Senate, … Continue reading “The president is a strong man and a dictator”
Could we just brush up on history, please? Remember that the Soviet Union spent ten years trying to crush an Islamic insurgence in Afghanistan? That really ended well for them, didn’t it? So, their Deciders think it will end up better for them because — of what, exactly? When you consider that the USA supported the Taliban in Afghanistan to the tune of more than … Continue reading A lost cause
You Americans are luvvies- warm, friendly, generous– and much too polite lately. Why are you sitting around sucking your thumbs and sucking up the Biden BullShit? Are you utterly spineless? Of course politicians have no spines, just like they have no scruples. Politicians may start with principles and a conscience but those who try to act accordingly are weeded out at the lower levels. The … Continue reading The Morden-Day America.
So far, I am untouched by this war. My family was profoundly touched by earlier wars. My great uncle was killed in Chimurenga. Not in combat, in a training accident while he was still in his teens. A cousin of mine was killed when his helicopter was shot down in Congo. I’ve run my fingers across his name on the Veteran’s monument in Gweru. My … Continue reading This war
Brotherly love is the bond of brotherhood. By practising brotherhood, we set a good example to those around us. Your brother is who gives you honest advice. Sisters will prefer to pander so that your fragile heart isn’t hurt. Half the time when brothers wrestle, it’s just an excuse to hug each other. Brothers aren’t […] The bond of Brotherhood Continue reading The bond of Brotherhood
