One Utah

Well, the fine folks at Family Security Matters have discerned at long last the real problem in America:
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. [...]

Up front, let me say I was never a fan of President Gerald Ford after he pardoned Nixon. It seemed to me he was putting the best interest of the Republican Party ahead of what was best for the country. He deserved to lose the 1976 election.
Tomorrow’s Washington Post has a front-page exclusive [...]

I was saddened to hear that CJ of ASP has been called back to Iraq. His local news did a nice story on him.…and video.
The piece includes a very sobering moment about the obvious risk or being hurt or worse. CJ’s final comment is “that’s the price of freedom, I think.”
It was easy to [...]

There’s something of a flap developing about the advice from Mara Vanderslice that Democrats should be more conservative about abortion.  Vanderslice is one of those Democrats who is not so very liberal, who has been convinced by conservative rhetoric that anti-abortion is the only moral stance and she seems to believe other Democrats should follow [...]

In my attempt to understand the Military mind, I found this while wandering around the Milblogosphere . At first I was horrified - how could such a great writer…but then I read on.
From here
It’s nights like this that I miss the war. Nights alone with too much time to think that I feel it [...]

There air was still milky brown this morning as the dust continued to settle on the blogo-battle field after yesterday’s skirmish between OneUtah and the mercenaries at ASP.
As I climbed down from my nocturnal perch still sleepy-eyed from a deep, well-deserved slumber, I managed to catch a glimpse of the enemy camp through a break [...]

HT to Pam’s House Blend.
The Boy Scouts of America, specifically their San Diego chapter, are spewing more bullshit about their right to use public property and discriminate against members of the public.
A few years ago, the Boy Scouts of America went to great lengths to convince the Supreme Court that allowing atheists and gay people [...]

Gee, It sure would be nice to be able to respond to comments like this, especially having so much valuable information to offer.
But apparently the free exchange of ideas is too much to handle in certain tree houses.
Here’s another gem from the same post exposing me as…uh…me.
CJ & Cpl M–Great job in your expose. Thanks [...]

The Real Men at A Soldiers Perspective (ASP) did some Christmas day sleuthing around OneUtah and me. And not unlike the many imprisoned in Guantanamo, Iraq, and secret CIA prisons around the world, a number of Utahns have been swept up in the dragnet, falsely accused, convicted, and banned.
But in great contrast to to the [...]

People who work hard, who play by the rules, shouldn’t get the shaft.
Big businesses have immense power - look at the way Wal Mart treats its suppliers.  Look at the way it treats local communities.  Take a look at Micron.  They demanded and received a host of tax breaks, incentives, promises and services from Lehi.  [...]

Conservative talk show hosts claimed prior to the November 2006 elections that the terrorists were rooting for the Democrats to win. It turns out that there is now evidence that these claims are true.
Of course the reasons that Jihadists wanted Democrats to win the elections is not due to any greater love of the [...]

Whatever our view on the life and possible divinity of Jesus Christ during this Christmas season, it is healthy that we can each have and share our personal beliefs, and that we afford ourselves the courtesy of celebrating and enjoying each others’ religious diversity.
Even better is when an easily accessible forum is provided wherein those [...]
