Reflections of An Uncommon Common Man

  This question has been pondered by historians for years. What if the South had won the Civil War? This is convenient for leftist historians. They can pit North against South when it was actually a war between the Democrat party and Republican party. It was a war that is still going on today and when it comes to how history is interpreted the Republican's are losing badly. The Republican's won on the battlefield but lost the peace. The peace was the Reconstruction period after the Civil War. Usually the victor of a war writes the accepted version of history. The Democrat party, however: is responsible for two of the most blatant misinterpretations of American history. The "Lost Cause Myth" and The Big Switch Myth".  These two lies allow the left to cover up for a multitude of sins and to project their sins upon the modern day Republican party and Constitutional conservatives like myself.  The " Lost Cause Myth" was perpetuated over three decades afte...

    When Ronald Reagan ran for president in 1980 I was a Democrat. I was a conservative Democrat and somewhat independent because I voted for Nixon in 1972. McGovern was just too far to the left for me then and for many Americans. After Watergate, however; I wanted honesty and integrity to return to the White House, if it had ever been there at all. Jimmy Carter passed himself off as a moderate and a Christian. I was excited about the prospect of what I thought would be a moderate Southern Democrat as opposed to a northeastern liberal Democrat being in the White House.

In retrospect Nixon looks like a saint now compared to the corrupt Clinton and Obama administrations but my eyes are wide open now and they weren't in 1976. It seemed like the country was in a funk during the 1970's. We had been defeated in Vietnam. The military ...

 The weirdest thing that happened during that time was a series of supernatural occurrences in our house and where Steve lived next door. Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do legally to make Steve move right at first. Luckily for us he moved after a couple of months I believe. The supernatural things occurred over a two year period. From right after Misty was molested until about late 1982 or early 1983. Debbie claimed that she heard footsteps in our house at night when the kids were asleep and I was at work. She told me about the footsteps but I just blew it off. Late one Saturday night I was studying my Sunday school lesson for the next morning. Debbie was sound asleep and I had my feet next to her head with my head at the foot of the bed as I lay there reading with the bedroom light on. All of a sudden I became aware of how quiet the house was. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.   It kind of unsettled me and I raised my head in anticipation of hear...
