Hi, my name's Ryan Calhoun. I used to (Technically still do have) a blog right here on this very site called The Dirty Kuffar. I let it idle away for awhile during my break and new school semester, though, and wanted to start out anew.
This blog will focus on whatever I am interested in, which is usually politics, philosophy and science. I'm a passionate advocate of Objectivism for those who don't know, and that will reflect in probably all of my posts. If you come here expecting to pigeonhole me as anything else, whether it be a "Secular Leftist Progressive" or "Right wing nut job", you'll probably be wrong. My opinions are my own. I don't look at my blog posts and contemplate "What would Ayn Rand think?". I judge my posts on their objective merits. I'd suggest you do the same, and share your comments either positive or negative.
This will not be a stream-of-consciousness blog. I like to put a bit of thought into my blog posts, and I find when I post every day of the week the quality is lower and I get burnt out. Expect larger posts a couple times throughout the week, and interesting links splattered thereabouts.
This is mostly just a test post. Most who come here will know who I am to some extent. I'd request all interested add me on their blogrolls, and I will recipricate.
Science, Logic and Reason be with you, always.
-That one guy named Ryan.

Pure Conservatism has been redefined by political pragmatism. The media has for too long defined compassion and truth. The masses in the United States want their bread and circus and moral relativism. The "right" and the "left" are slow dancing somewhere left of center. Ah, more and more examples of man's failure to create utopia in a fallen world.
ReplyDeleteThe Gospel Tract? Probably makes more sense in this issue than what the talking heads are saying and not doing in the corridors of Washington DC and the media. It is not man serving man, whether forced or out of a guilt-led charitable action, that answers the matter. No, it is a matter of worship. Left, right, center, hands off...regardless- we are all worshipers. The object of our worship must be addressed. Whether you worship self and self achievement or you worship self by stealing from some to give to the others and call it compassion it would appear that the object of worship is the same.
The other option..."take up your cross and follow Me, and you will have treasure in heaven." Ah, treasure in heaven, where rust and moth will not destroy and WHERE THIEVES CANNOT BREAK IN AND STEAL.
