Hello, my name is Lewis Loflin. I'm a 50-year-old veteran of the US Army and have been married for 23 years. I'm a small property owner, taxpayer, gun owner, and I even have a dog and several cats. I support America and our system of democracy, religious and personal freedom, science, secular government, and moderate capitalism. I'm also political independent and my hobbies are science, electronics, history, and religion. This page is constructed as a blog and addresses many issues. I'm a Deist/Unitarian. I reject both the Religious Right, radical Islam, and the extreme Left as threats to our freedoms and nation. The religious material on this website reflects that view

There is a collection of pro and con article all in one place so please don’t throw out the baby with the bath water!

This does not reflect my point of view but I think it makes for interesting awareness of others out there!

I reject . . . the Religious Right . . . as [a] threat[s] to our freedoms and nation.

The guy is a clown, plain and simple.

Moral equivalence is the stock in trade of idiots.

"moderate capitalism"???

[Durus]

What precisely is moderate capitalism? Why do you feel the need to reject the “religious right” and what is your definition of the “religious right”? If you are actually for what you say you are for, then the Democrat platform has no place for you while the republican platform agrees with you by about 99%. Why do you call yourself an independent?

[snip] Nazir Ahmed appears calm and unrepentant as he recounts how he slit the throats of his three young daughters and their 25-year old stepsister to salvage his family’s “honor” — a crime that shocked some in Pakistan. The 40-year old laborer, speaking to the Associated Press in police detention as he was being shifted to prison, said he had only one regret — that he didn’t kill the stepsister’s alleged lover too. Hundreds of girls and women are killed by male relatives each year in this conservative Islamic nation, and rights groups said Wednesday such “honor killings” will only stop when authorities get serious about punishing perpetrators... Ahmed said he killed his stepdaughter because she had committed adultery, and his daughters because he didn’t want them to do the same when they grew up. [end]

Yeah, that’s the same as wanting prayer in public school.
