We’ll fix that naming error right up.

Thank you for the welcome, though you registered me as ‘dadwordsmith’, not ‘…wright’. The difference, of course, is in what was done historically. A ‘smith’ wrought iron and sometimes other metals into usable household items (and for nobility weapons and armour), whereas a ‘wright’ made items dealing with transportation most often though it also appears with writing theatre (‘playwright’).
On the surface then, it would appear that a ‘wordsmith’ would construct from the most basic level of words themselves whereas a ‘wordwright’ would use structures themselves to create.
Looking forward to ‘conversing’ here to further myself and if something I write/wright here is useful to someone then so much the better!

Comment on An elementary tale by PUMABydesign001

As such and when the time came to deliver the ice cream to the clueless, each one barely received a lick while Obama and comrades kept the rest. Yet Obama’s response to those who cry foul would be, “You got your ice cream, didn’t you?”

Comment on What if Congress actually represented American Demographics? by ssgconway

I actually suggested something like this once; Make Congress like jury duty. Draw names randomly, and pay the ‘conscript fathers’ their normal salary, plus full living expenses, per diem, etc. This would make the House more of a popular assembly, while the Senate could remain the counterweight of experience, long service, etc., along the lines of a House of Lords. It also reminds me of Wm. F. Buckley’s having said that he’s rather be governed by the first 200 manes in the telephone book than by the faculty of Harvard. Hear, hear!

Comment on Everyone can articulate it but their candidates by ssgconway

I’d have to respectfully disagree with the notion of us being in military decline. I’d say that we’re over-muscled for Cold War missions, not aligned or agile enough for 4GW scenarios, and that we’re over-extended, but there is no Division 1-A threat that can challenge us in our areas of dominance. Over-extension, a la the Athenians at Syracuse, is our real enemy, and that enemy is within ourselves.

Comment on Tolerance or Freedom? by ssgconway

The Allegan, MI Police Chief overreacted. This should not happen. I am fortunate to live in a Michigan county (Eaton) with a pro-liberty Sheriff. Since the Sheriff is typically the only lawman whose name appears on the ballot, and since that office is the original Anglo-American law enforcement position, we ought to work to secure for Sheriffs the greatest share of law-enforcement responsibility as possible, since they answer directly to us. No union or screen of regulations, boards, etc., stands between us and the ballot box, so we ought to work to keep our local law enforcement as answerable to us as possible.

This is the kind of reminder that, while a trusim, still needs to be given, as we’re immersed in the white noise of a culture doing its’ best to ignore the Almighty while living in His creation all the while.

Quoting the originator of systematic statism (Roosevelt was a piker but the originator) is dangerous. But even HE had the right idea of BECOMING American rather than maintaining foreign culture
