Doctor Tom's Rant

I think pro-gun rights people should  spread the rumor among the teenager crowds that many people are now pushing for laws to make it illegal for anyone under the age of 19 or 21 from having any access to social media because of the epidemic of teen suicide due to "cyber-bullying". Of course, it's not true, but it gets them all angered that they wouldn't be able to access social media because some "bad kids" use it to cyber bully.   Then we tell them that the movie "13 Reasons" really put this issue out in the spot light, and now people are motivated to finally do something to save teen lives. After all, there are many more suicides than killings from shooters in schools. So THEN we'll ask them if they are supporting the cyber-bullies and why don't they care about the poor kids that commit suicide. Then they will get angered about that and come up with something about how bullies will still bully and kids will still commit suicide because...

Billy and Karen Vaughn are the parents of fallen Navy SEAL, Aaron Carson Vaughn (SEAL Team VI). On August 6, 2011 Aaron was killed in action in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan when a chopper (call sign Extortion 17) carrying thirty Americans was shot from the sky. Let me tell you, when a Gold Star Mom speaks, people listen. These moms have endured unimaginable loss and have earned the right to a bully pulpit. They are not some fawned over TV show host or starlet. GSMs are the stuff that made America truly great, raising kids who understand the meaning of “the last full measure of devotion.” Here are her words: Sometimes God uses the no-nonsense, salty sailor to get the job done. Appreciating what the man is doing doesn’t mean we worship the salty sailor or even desire to be like the salty sailor. It doesn’t even mean God admires the salty sailor. Maybe He just knows he’s necessary for such a time as this. I believe with all my heart that God placed that salty sailor in the...

Has anyone ever wondered why so many liberals seek academia and higher education as a profession? Probably because they are allowed to do so because the knowledgeable, rational, conservative thinking people opt to go into business rather than seek refuge in liberal arts, humanities and fields of gender and ethnic studies and then indoctrinate their politically correct leftist’s ideas and oppose the conservative right's rather than teach. "People get angry at what they don’t understand, and an all-progressive education ensures that they  don’t  understand.  The conservative hears the progressive’s latest demands and says, “I can see how you might come to that conclusion, but I think you’ve overlooked the following…” In contrast, the progressive hears the conservative and thinks, “I have  no idea  why you would believe that. You’re probably a racist.” Matthew Blackwell

#1 I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair. She turned to me and asked, "Are you having it catered?" And that, my friend, is the sad definition of "OLD". #2 Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied: "Two years older than me" "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?" #3 Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure." #4 I've sure gotten old!   I have outlived my feet and my teeth, I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, New knees, fought prostate cancer an...
