Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com

Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....

Tips and tricks from an expert…

Listening to comments of Dave Smith got me thinking... Where were the “#metoo” activists after the rapes on 10/7? Surely they have not changed their principles, have they? I wonder if it had to do with who it was perpetrated against?

Dave and others on the dissident right don’t think that the atrocities on 10/7 were an act of war and don’t warrant a military response. Is that based on principle? Or does it have to do with who is was perpetrated against?

30 student groups at Harvard immediately blamed Israel for the actions on 10/7, absolving Hamas. Was that conclusion based on principle or who it was perpetrated against?

And there are many more examples. I suspect that something has been wrong for a while, but is now being brought out of the woodwork. I’m not Jewish, but I see the canary in the coal mine, a possible sign of late Empire.

Wow. Sorry for any possible innuendos, but…this is right up my alley. The seeming contradiction I live in.

My church has a document called “The Family-A Proclamation to the World.” Basically outlining so much of what was in this Solid Ground podcast. So many in my circles just view the Proclamation as doctrine that can easily change or that it’s just irrelevant bigotry. But for so long, I’ve felt like there’s something evolutionary and foundational to our society about marriage between a man and a woman and the children that can be part of that union.

I mean, I don’t know where this puts me. I feel very little desire to marry a woman and would rather be in a (preferably celibate) partnership with a man who shares my beliefs and perspectives (again, the seeming contradiction I live in). But I can’t deny the stirrings I’ve had about the importance of the nuclear family in society. I believe people who have a “non-traditional” situation can still support the ideal.
