About Me
- Jeffery Nicholas
- I'm married to the most intelligent and beautiful woman in the world, and we have three equally intelligent and beautiful daughters (who one day will take care of me in my old age) and three cats (at least two too many). I teach philosophy at a Catholic seminary. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky (Go Wildcats!). My research focuses on questions of philosophical anthropology, ethics, and politics, though I dabble in many fields. My major influences include Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Alasdair MacIntyre, the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, and Theodor Schatzki. I am currently working on a book dealing with the philosophy of human nature. The posts in this blog will focus on the questions which I come across as I work on the book. In short, I started the blog to motivate me to write every week. But I am also interested in what other people think about my thoughts here. Finally, I am also working on fiction, with a few short stories on the market. I have just finished (August 2007) my first novel which needs editing.

Oh Bert, I wasn't supporting Obama over McCain, I was supporting Obama over Clinton.
I would have voted for McCain years ago.
Clinton and Bush are just.... well, I'll let it go there.....
A chance to be political?
Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions.
I guess I was always left out of the group.
*laughs and smiles*
I notice that none of the reasons have anything to do with pro-life issues. Could you really vote for someone who is not pro-life? Of course good ol Hillary doesn't stand a chance either. On the other hand, with his shifting pro-life stance, McCain is no better.
Obama attacks Hillary about NAFTA. However, would Obama change anything? I don't think he could. I think that anyone who goes into the White House these days can't make any decisions that would go against the globalist elites who control them.

We CANNOT be one-issue voters. The bishops are quite clear about this. I recommend you read some of Fr. Ken Himes work on the seamless garment.
We cannot be one issue voters. Yet we also cannot deny the precedence of the abortion issue. None of the other issues today are nearly as pressing.
On the 2004 ballot I left the presidential category blank. I didn't like either candidate...neither was pro-life and neither represented what I believed. For those who voted for Bush because he represented the lesser of two evils, I think that seems somewhat like the end justifying the means..."lets vote for candidate A, even though he's bad, so that candidate B, doesn't get elected." Fine, but I don't want either on my conscience.
That said, I like McCain. He's the only candidate I've liked since 2000.
Twelve resons not to vote for McCain:
1. Inconsistent approach to life issues
2. Supports embryonic stem cell research
3. Believes gay marriage should be allowed: http://www.americablog.com/2006/10/john-mccain-i-think-gay-marriage.html
4. Globalist and Neoconservative
5.Member of Council of Foreign Relations
6. Supports Big-Government, anti-freedom agenda
7. Against the right to bear arms
8. Said North Korea should be threatened with "extinction," often boasts of America's 100-year war with Iraq, and talks of pursuing enemies "to the gates of hell"
9. Repeatedly voted against the Bush tax cuts
10. Co-authored the McCain/Feingold campaign finance bill
11. Joined with Democrats to block the attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
12. Supports radical global warming legislation
