Have spent the last week or so rereading “ A Conservative Sensibility” by George Will.

Many lines hit like a freight train, but one in particular:

“How does a society decide what the natural rights are?
The answer is: It argues.”

And the indispensable foundation of argument is the First Amendment, which protects not merely our right to disagree, but our ability to reason together about the very principles upon which our freedom rests.

That is precisely the contradiction Haley Stevens exposed (below) in her post today: How can we preach inclusion while punishing dissent? The very essence of a free society is not the absence of disagreement, but the freedom to disagree.

“We cannot preach inclusion while punishing dissent. We cannot promise to heal a divided country if we cannot tolerate disagreement among ourselves. And we cannot build a lasting majority by making Americans feel their concerns are unwelcome.

Loyalty to a party should never require abandoning your values or judgment.”

Dear State of Virginia. I present to you Bill Danoff, Co-Writer of "Take Me Home, Country Roads".

..."you know, it's about WEST VIRGINIA. It's a small place. Maybe it will be a small hit. Maybe it will be a hit in WEST VIRGINIA."

I rest my case. Also, suck it.

"Take Me Home, Country Roads" 🎶⚾

What a moment for West Virginia after winning an elimination game in the MCWS 👏

[Jeffrey Ray @Jeffrey55709333]

Let’s Go!!!

[3 Guys Before the Game @3Guys__]

Once again, our friend @DanLohmann reminds us that great storytelling isn’t about baseball. It’s about people.

As first pitch approaches tonight against Carolina, take a few minutes to watch Dan’s latest masterpiece. It captures what @stevesabins , this team, and Mountaineer Nation have built together.

That’s been the story all season.

Thankful for a Savior who came down because He loves you and He loves me, that we might share in His inheritance. Merry Christmas!
