Here’s an interesting assortment of older posts I republished today from out of the archives. Many of them have great discussions in the comments. The topics include homeschooling, Christian faith, money, and the 2008 election cycle.

I thought since we are living through Obama’s third term, it is fitting to revisit the conversations we had about his election. It’s interesting to see what we got right and what we got wrong in our discussions. 




You know what’s really cute as I go back and read some of these things? How much I trusted the GOP back then. Barf. Really. Barf, barf, barf.

In all fairness, I (and many others) had not yet comprehended the depth and breadth of evil that had already infiltrated our country. I could clearly see and feel the evil in Obama to the point I could not listen to him speak more than fifteen or twenty seconds. Truly. The evil and falseness coming out of his mouth was that real to me. I had not yet figured out the evil that existed in parts of the GOP.

But still. Barf. 

As always, feel free to add comments to any post no matter how long ago it was written! Enjoy!

Chit Chat

~ Forum thread covering ROE V. WADE ruling by SCOTUS

~ I can't believe I missed the white supremacy/privilege angle. READ THIS: The Assault on Children’s Psyches - California’s ethnic-studies curriculum is fueling a mental-health crisis among teenagers.

~ I'm trying out a daily "Sallie's Stack" thread in the Forum, right at the top.

~ In the process of setting up ads with a new company (Ezoic). I'm aware there are a LOT OF ADS right now. I appreciate your patience while we get it set up. If you turn off your adblocker on my site, I will truly appreciate it. ♥
