Concerning the Recent Islamic Protests:

Concerning The Unlawful Detainment of Brandon Raub

The Divergent Life ― I served with Brandon Raub stateside. I first met him in 2007, recently returned with one of our platoons which had deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. My oldest brother, Jed had also been a member of that platoon, and he...

The Lie of Left Vs. Right

The Divergent Life ― I love coming across self-proclaimed "enlightened and independent" journalists who seem to think that the battle between the Left-wing Liberal Democrats and Right-wing Conservative Republicans is still being waged in earnest. It's the equivalent ...

They Hate Us Because We're Free?

The Divergent Life ― If the world hates us because we're free, wouldn't Finland, Denmark, and Sweden and the 11 other, much weaker countries which have more liberties be wiped off the map already? The U.S. is ranked 15th in civil liberties, folks. That's pretty ...

A Plea For Brotherly Love

The Divergent Life ― Spreading freedom and democracy in the world: Is that what we are doing? I was in Iraq in 2009, as a part of the last Marine combat unit to be deployed there. I saw no seed of freedom and democracy there. I saw only commercialism and consumerism...

Self Affirmation Is The A Dollar Store Band-Aid On A Sucking Chest Wound

2011 - A Year of Music - Pt. 1

2011 - A Year of Music - Pt. 1

The Divergent Life ― I sometimes like to think of my life as a story. ∙ Not an epic one, mind you, but a story nonetheless. One that is funny, sometimes ridiculous, and never, I say again, never predictable. If years were chapters, then I suppose this year ...

Ron Paul and "The War on Terror"

Ron Paul and "The War on Terror"

The Divergent Life ― It's a fact: Many Americans disapprove of Ron Paul's stance on foriegn policy and homeland security. ∙ When over nearly 3,000 people died in the Twin Towers attack on 9-11-2001, America mourned and her politicians vowed revenge. But most of ...

Then, You May Rest

Then, You May Rest
