The Work--Ideas Matter
Wed, 2011-02-23 23:05 — Pat HeymanIdeas Matter. What you believe affects what you do.
Introduction
Welcome to "The Work." I am not yet sure what the end result of this effort will be, but I invite you to participate along the way. The idea for this blog series was originally an effort to improve my teaching. At Palm Beach Atlantic University, our Provost, Joe Kloba, had the wild and squirrelly idea that a Christian university should not merely provide a Christian atmosphere but should provide something uniquely Christian in terms of intellectual life and ideas.

Synopsis: It's interesting that throughout the world you can hear, "Yankee, go home" yet the phrase was first uttered by Southerners. There is, in fact, a large difference between Americans and Yankees. Other countries love America and Americans—it's Yankees they hate. Americans love freedom, mind their own business, and help their neighbors. Yankees want you to be free to do what they think is best, meddle, and think they are superior to their neighbors. In this article, Clyde Wilson gives us some insight into why we should wary of Yankees and the Yankee attitude.

Outside Reading: The Truth About Pearl Harbor
Wed, 2009-12-09 00:01 — Pat HeymanThis is an article from another website that I found interesting along with a link back to the original article.
From: John T. Flynn on Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor
Synopsis: This is a reprint of John T Flynn's booklet, The truth about Pearl Harbor. The original article linked above has additional commentary by Laurence Vance along with dozens of other sources.
The basic gist is that the story of Pearl Harbor is quite different from the one taught in school or seen in the movies. Not only did Roosevelt know about the attack, he was actively seeking to get us into war all while claiming to be the peace candidate. Pearl Harbor merely provided a public excuse.
