DEMOCRATS
It’s no secret that Democrats have become an irrational cult that has more in common with various religions than it does with politics. Confession: I used to belong to that disgusting party back when it was sane. Now I’m an Independent Voter. At any rate, here are just a few of the articles of faith in the Democrat religion:
*** It doesn’t matter that Democrats defended slavery and fought for its expansion, or that Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan, or that Democrats pushed Jim Crow and segregation, or that Democrats caused the Trail of Tears, or that Democrats interred Japanese-Americans during World War Two.
To Democrats it is enough to just say “That was back then. We are better people now.” IF DEMOCRATS CAN MAKE THAT CLAIM, THEN SO CAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES. The majority of the nation came to reject those Democrat policies and organizations, yet Democrats still pretend that they no longer bear guilt for those things, but the rest of the country does. It was not just Democrats who turned away from that path, it was the nation as a whole – many times over the objections of Democrats.
*** Some males menstruate and get pregnant. To Democrats it is hatred to state otherwise.
NOTE: This Democrat article of faith is as false as all the others, no matter how many Democrats express agreement with it. Producing people who agree with a statement does not prove it to be “true”. It simply demonstrates that it is a shared assertion. Continue reading

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog does another news roundup. 

LANE COLLEGE CONQUERS DIVISION ONE – NCAA Division Two’s LANE COLLEGE DRAGONS visited NCAA Division One’s TENNESSEE STATE TIGERS. A 13-10 Dragons edge at Halftime turned into a 20-17 lead to end the 3rd Quarter. The Tigers forced Overtime with a 20-20 tie to end Regulation, then scored 7 points in the extra session. Lane College took a gamble by going for 2 after notching a TD of their own and SUCCEEDED for a gutsy 28-27 Upset.
TOPPLING NUMBER SIX – Staying in D2 for a moment, the MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE CHOCTAWS took it on the road against the number 6 team in the nation – the UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA WOLVES. The Wolves held a 21-10 advantage at the Half and a 28-23 lead in the 3rd Quarter. In the 4th the Choctaws came from behind to win this Instant Classic 39-38.
DOWN GOES NUMBER SEVEN – Over in the NAIA the ARIZONA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FIRESTORM welcomed the country’s number 7 team – the OTTAWA UNIVERSITY (AZ) SPIRIT. The Spirit were on top 24-9 at the break, but the Firestorm cut that to a 31-23 deficit in the 3rd Quarter before pulling out a 40-38 comeback victory in the 4th.
This weekend’s light-hearted, escapist superhero post here at Balladeer’s Blog marks the start of Halloween Month with a retrospective on Marvel Comics’ 1970s horror figures like Ghost Rider, Satana the Devil’s Daughter, Werewolf by Night, Blade the Vampire Slayer, Son of Satan, Golem, the Living Mummy and the Simon Garth Zombie.
WEREWOLF BY NIGHT – Since Marvel has a Werewolf by Night production coming out soon, we’ll start with this character. Moon Knight made his very first appearance in Werewolf by Night #32 (August 1975) but beat the werewolf to the screen this year.
ONE-POINT WONDERS – The UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT PEMBROKE BRAVES welcomed the FROSTBURG STATE BOBCATS and snuck past them by a score of 10-9 ### And the TUSCULUM COLLEGE PIONEERS won 14-13 at the BARTON COLLEGE BULLDOGS.
BLOWOUT – In this game the JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY GOLDEN BULLS took the field against the ELIZABETH CITY STATE VIKINGS. The 1st Quarter ended in a 14-14 tie, but from there the Golden Bulls took control. By Halftime Johnson C. Smith University was up 35-14 on their way to a 49-14 triumph.
Yes, from the land of Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy, Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at some of the latest outrages from the increasingly unhinged Democrat Party. 

SAMSON IN ISLAM – Right at the start, I’ll make it clear that there is no specific reference to Samson in the Koran. Period. In some of the other scholarly writings by Muslim authorities of the distant past they included Samson aka Shamsun by speculating that he was among the many unnamed prophets of their faith.
NOTE: Yes, that still puts Samson’s existence before Muhammad was even born, but the academic and religious debates about this are outside the material I am covering in this post.
