Make America Fake Again


If Hillary got indicted by that right-wing FBI

And good ole Bernie’s heart had him lying down to die

If all the other candidates were thrown into a ring,

And killed each other off with straw-man weaponry

If that thing called ‘foreign policy’ was really just a game

And experience was more about reality tv show fame

If Muslims were all evil and the refugees a scam

Or the terrorist threats a joke and the Arab Spring a sham

If Americans were morons, duped on marijuana dreams

Or Mexicans were rapists, building our walls to stop their schemes

If the poor could be delivered by a real estate tycoon

And illegals could be rounded up, like animals two by two

If truth were merely relative and anything could fly

And insults were called speeches—substantive, not denied

If the moral compass of the land were broken right in two

And intellectuals deported for revealing what is true

If the world became a fantasy shrouded in lies and sin,

Then I’d give my vote to Donald as shoo-in for the win

Integrity: the missing ingredient

There was one good thing about Gingrich's response to the opening question of the GOP debate in South Carolina. In his attempt to avoid the question, he provided the answer to it. It's simple really. He has absolutely no understanding of integrity. Or why it matters. Let’s try to clear it up for him. In a recent class I took at BYU, our professor pointed to studies on the relationship between the treatment of women and  the level of corruption within governments and societies. It was a fascinating study. And while the subject may be freely and continually researched, the point here is to lay the groundwork for the casual story. Ultimately, the degradation of the family unit, specifically in the treatment of women,  leads to degradation in our governing institutions. How? Because families are unique in their ability to instill certain values within us, even at an early age. Those who dishonor marital vows ( like through adultery, pornography, ect…) demonstrate a lack of se...

The New Imperialists: Is Liberal Morality Dangerous?

It would be nice to live in a world of ideological, social, and cultural homogeneity where everyone agreed and no conflict was necessary. In such an environment, it would be easy to decide on the “good” in society because uniformity of thought and opinion would make this obvious. Leaders could then be trusted to implement good laws and likewise be held accountable to them.  But that simply isn’t reality. I don’t think I need to argue that point. Whether it  should be  reality, however, is where we are taking this essay. The ideological suppositions of both liberals and conservatives often bridge the claim of moral superiority. Those on the left may try to demonstrate, empirically, that a rational, secular human being can only come to one conclusion. When this fails in practice – since people are not so easily persuaded into one ideology – it creates a natural dilemma. If we disagree on truth, morality, and the question of the “good,” how can we still create a functioning,...
