My Stand-up Debut
Friday Night at The Idiot Box
Rain On Car Windows
When I posted this story back during the summer, I was pretty happy with it. Then, I let a couple of my English professors have a go at it, which was a slightly humbling experience. It was, I believe, worth the pain. Take a look at this new, improved version and see what you think. […]
Something New
Followers of The Progressive Redneck have probably noticed that posts have been few and far between of late. There’s a couple of reasons for that, the biggest one being that I just don’t have time to write 2-3 posts that are worth reading every week. The other is that what I was doing last year […]
No Homosexual Lifestyle???
In August of last year, the darling of the progressive Christian world, John Pavlovitz, wrote a post titled Repeat After Me: “There is No Such Thing as a “Homosexual Lifestyle.” What?!?

Taking on the Bad Guys.
We live in a frightening world these days. Radical Islam hates our freedom and wants to convert and/or kill us all, the threat of Chinese economic hegemony continues unabated and the Russian bear is waking up from a long hibernation. All I can say is thank God we elected a strong, tough-guy type to lead […]
