COMMENT POLICY
The Kinds of Things We Don’t Like
We strongly believe in free speech, so we don’t automatically ban people, but we will say something. Banning is possible.
- Abusive, ad hominem, overly mean-spirited arguments and ideas, especially to commenters.
- A lot of profanity. Please use asterisks instead of the full word.
- Disgusting porn or bodily fluid comments.
- Totally off-topic comments.
- Ads or Spam. However, you can link to your blog in a response.
- Racist, sexist, and homophobic comments are not welcome unless it’s to discuss the issue. It’s not a problem if you’re making policy comments.
- Duplicates. Please do not copy and paste the same comment over and over on multiple threads. That will get your comment spammed.
- Threats. Don’t threaten people—no calling for violence.
- Trolling: An internet troll, or online bully, deliberately tries to offend, cause trouble, or directly attack people by posting derogatory comments on social media.
- Please do not attack other commenters.

AUTHORS
Linda Goudsmit is the devoted wife of Rob, and they are the parents of four children and the grandparents of four. She and Rob owned and operated a girls’ clothing store in Michigan for forty years before retiring to the sunny beaches of Florida. A graduate of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Linda has a lifelong commitment to learning and is an avid reader and observer of life. She is the author of the philosophy book Dear America: Who’s Driving the Bus? and its political sequel, The Book of Humanitarian Hoaxes: Killing America with ‘Kindness’, along with numerous current affairs articles featured on her websites lindagoudsmit.com and goudsmit.pundicity.com. The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage and her new release, Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is, complete Linda’s quadrangle of insightful books that connect the philosophical, ideological, political, and psychological dots of globalism’s War on America and on individual sovereignty.
Linda believes the future of our nation requires reviving individualism, restoring meritocracy, and teaching critical-thinking skills to children again. Her illustrated children’s book series, Mimi’s Strategy, offers youngsters new and exciting ways of solving their problems and having their needs met. Mrs. Goudsmit believes that learning to think strategically rather than reacting emotionally is a valuable skill that will empower any child throughout his or her life. Plus, in Linda’s words, “I have yet to meet the child who would prefer a reprimand to a kiss.”
