In reply to Gerry Hittinger--N6HUQ. Gerry Hittinger-N6HUQ: There is a link under the word "blacklisting" in this essay taking you to my essay describing what the caving community did. I did two other follow-ups. The links for all three are as follows: Today’s blacklisted American: Space historian and science journalist blackballed for opposing COVID shot mandates Pushback: “I do not consent to your attempt to blacklist me.” The next chapter in my own personal blacklisting story

You mentioned that you were blacklisted by your caving group a year or so ago. I was a caver many years ago too.
Did you write on this website about it at the time? If so, how can I get to what you wrote? I am also a staunch conservative and you are far from the first “far right wing” blogger that I have heard from with similar experiences. I would like to hear what happpened. I must have missed your blog entry at that time-sorry.

Leftists are willing to kill for their beliefs.
Christians are willing to die for theirs.
There’s a certain symmetry.

An inspiring article, Robert. I’ve realized a lot of my social groups dissolved during covid (to isolate us was one of the intents of the swamp) so I want to find some new circles of friends as well.

“The Idea is, that nothing brings a better World into being than the stated Truth. Now you might have to pay a price for that, but that’s fine. You’re going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don’t do. You don’t get to choose not to pay a price, you get to choose which poison you’re going to take, that’s it.”

Thank you Mr. Z. for this uplifting story. I am reminded of a piece of key dialogue from the movie ‘Pulp Fiction” where the character played by Samuel Jackson quotes Ezekiel 25:17. :
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in
The name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of
Darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost
Children”.

Glad you have found a new community of good and decent people. Many people think that when they leave the world of religion they enter the world of rationality. I think the pandemic proved exactly the opposite.

Good on you Bob.

I go into memory units and sing (with guitar). Was particularly busy last winter in both AZ and NM. Now setting up the same in Alberta.
