Conservatives – We’re a Family, Not a Collective

6/23/2015
Today’s Democrat Party is the Borg – remember when they were first introduced? The big bad. There was simply no way to stop them. But of course, the Federation won. More than that, the crew of the Enterprise won – because they behaved like the family that they are. The power of a family to […] The post Conservatives – We’re a Family, Not a Collective appeared first on The Refinery Show.

The Conservative Ghetto

6/16/2015
Lefty writers and bloggers and experts are just quoted as writers, bloggers, or experts. Conservatives are ALWAYS given the adjective “conservative consultant” or “ultra-conservative blog”. We sometimes do the same – describing our products as “the conservative daily show” or whatever. The media separates us out, otherizing us. Why do we have to do the […] The post The Conservative Ghetto appeared first on The Refinery Show.

Journalism is Dead – it’s all Media Activism now

4/7/2015
Journalism is dead – it’s all media activism now. In fact, we should stop calling them journalists and call them Media Activists – or if there’s a better term we’d love to hear it.

Division and separation are tearing us apart

3/24/2015
Look around and all you see is people dividing each other into groups, separating themselves from others. That’s not bad in and of itself, but it really keeps us from moving forward in any meaningful way. Pro-life folks position themselves apart from women in need,and can end up positioning themselves as a weird, offensive “other”.
