So there has been a lack of posting here. Needless to say I have had a very bad case of writers block. I have had things to say, but couldn’t find the words or motivation to put them out there. I have been in a kind of commentary malaise. As you all know it is not for lack of opinion, but seems to stem from a lack of creative juice to put my thoughts and feelings on virtual paper. Top that off with transitioning to a new role at work and sprinkle in some travel and you have the lack of content over time. I want this to change. I feel like we, as a country, are losing our way. I have undeniably strong opinions about it, the problem recently has been the lack of ability to translate that into a post.

Part of this is the feeling that my opinion, or yours for that matter, just don’t matter anymore. When a RINO like Rudy McRomney are the best we have to offer in the way of leadership, you know we are in trouble. How is it that a guy like Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, or Fred Thompson are the leading three guys. All men seem to have a firm understanding of where we need to go as a nation to defend traditional American ideals and values, and defend American interests both home and abroad. In a time when we need strong leadership we get wishy-washy candidates on both sides. Our choices seem to be Hildebeast or I’m Not Hildebeast. The platform of I’m not a Clinton is not a winning platform, just as I’m not Bush lost an election for Kerry, well that and his rabid socialism.

I see us as a nation heading down the road of socialism, and that is a scary thought. At a time when the President of France is working to tear down socialism as a failure, we in America are heading down a road which at no time in history has ever worked. We are growing are national debt by leaps and bounds. Just recently our national debt has grown to over $9,000,000,000,000 that is 9 trillion if you didn’t know. From George Washington to Ronald Reagan this country accumulated $1 trillion in debt and since we have grown it by 900%. This has let enemies like China have a stranglehold on our economy, as they own a boatload of debt and American dollars and if they dump their dollars and call in our debt we as a nation are in a world of financial hurt.

Yet we have an upcoming election with people whom would expand governmental spending to even higher levels. If we elect the Dems we can look forward to massive governmental spending on social programs and flawed environmental theory. The GOP is only slightly better if your chose Rudy McRomney. What I don’t understand is how Rudy McRomney is doing so well in the polls. Can someone explain this to me? I have spoken to many a conservative and unequivocally they all can’t stand Rudy McRomney, so why the strong polls? Do you, the American People, really not care enough to pay attention?

This I believe is the crux of the matter. I feel that no matter the issue, not matter the problems, the people in America today don’t give a shit. They will vote for “free” health care even though it is neither free or a good idea. Hell it sounds good though. We live in a sound bite driven society were people would rather listen to 50 Cent on their iPod rather then take a tough look at the serious issues of the day. Should I watch the news or see what is going on or watch The Biggest Loser so that I can see some fat ass make a fool of themselves thereby making me feel better about myself? Feeling Better for $1000 Alex. This is why I feel this ever growing frustration. The lack of knowledge out there on the issues in general, let alone the Constitution and how all issues must be viewed through a Constitutional prism. The collective malaise is part of my writer’s block. For how do I create a prose that will stir the people to action, and the few that do come to my lowly place on the Internet are not enough to make the difference needed.

That said, my plan is to voice my opinion on events as I see them with a regularity. If nothing else it will help me vent. So allow me to offer my apology to you all for the lack of content and proffer my desire to keep the content coming. Weetabix may be my only reader left.

I have noticed that many whom visit and link to me are Republicans. This is all fine and dandy, and Republicans represent my views far more so than the DemCong, but conservatism is not Republican or Democrat. For example, my US Representative is Dan Boren. He has more conservative creditability than say Rudy McRomney. He is better on taxes, guns, and immigration than those three combined. Due to my views on the aforementioned issues I am commonly characterized by people whom know me as a right-winger. My view points on smaller government and a more limited government also mean I am labeled as a right-winger. That label though in my opinion is wrong. I am a conservative not a Republican or right-winger. Along with smaller government I believe that if someone wants to smoke pot, they should be allowed to do so. I don’t believe in using government for defining or shaping morality or people’s behavior that doesn’t harm another citizen.

I believe in the Constitution like liberals claim to, but never live up to. I do not believe in making illegal that which is consensual between adults. That includes homosexuality and prostitution, at least on a federal level. I also don’t believe that it is the Federal governments business to define what marriage is. That is best handled by the States, and is out of the scope of authority for the Federal Government. If you don’t understand why this can’t and shouldn’t be a federal issue, I suggest you get a copy of the Constitution and read it. If at that point you still don’t understand it, read it again. If still you don’t understand, go take a course on the Constitution.

Conservatism has become perverted. It has been labeled as being Republican, but I don’t find many Republican’s these days to be conservative. They spend like drunken sailors at a cat house and talk about fiscal responsibility. They talk about freedom while taking it away with crap legislation such as McCain-Feingold and Patriot Act. These are not conservative stances. A true conservative believes that the Federal Government is limited in its authority by the provisions laided down in the Constitution. We beleive that the extremely broad inturpritation of the Commerce Clause and Well Being Clause of the Constitution were neither the intent nor wishes of those whom who crafted the Constitution as laid out in the further writings and debates about the Constitution. We believe more authority should be left to the States as stipulated in the Constitution. We believe that the Constitution strictly forbids the Federal Government from getting involved with education, welfare, non-interstate commerce issues, agracultural issues, and all the other things they are not specifically authorized to do within the Constitution.

We believe that education is the job of state and local governments and that the fed has no business sticking their nose into internal state affairs except when they violate a right guaranteed by the Constitution. We believe that government should be hands off when it comes to the daily lives of the citizenry. We further believe that if a citizen breaks a law the consequences should be punitive and harsh. We believe in the death penalty and harsh prison sentences devoid of creature comforts like TV, weightlifting, and sports. Hard labor is acceptable. If you are a violent offender such as a rapist, armed robber, or murderer that you have deemed yourself not worthy to live in civil society and should therefore be removed permanently. Tolerance of criminal behavior is not acceptable to conservatives.

I am a conservative. I am also a Republican, but only because they are slightly better then the DemCong. Of the two major parties today, neither represent me or many other conservatives. We are left with the lessor of two evils option. I find it comical how people get all tied up in a politico. They stake their hopes and dreams and feelings of worth on said politician. I don’t know of a politico who wouldn’t sell his mother to Satan to get reelected. Remember that the next time you feel some politico is a savior or a true this or that. They are not, you just have to determine which one will screw you less.

Hillary was not charged with a felony while her National Campaign Finance Director David Rosen was indicted for not reporting $700,000 in campaign contributions including those of Peter Paul a convicted felon. Antichrist got out of trouble by claiming she knew nothing about the event. Here is video proof she not only knew about it, but was really excited about it.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for corruption.

***UPDATE***

Three days after in the Wash Post Hillary claimed Peter Paul didn’t contribute to her campaign she wrote a little love note to him.

That should keep him quite right.

***Update2***

Here is Hillary Rodham Antichrist thanking Peter Paul at the event she claimed she didn’t know he setup. This bitch is pathetic.

We hear that line all the time. Every time the question is asked the reporters dismiss it claiming that they are impartial and unbiased. Never mind that most of them polled said their registered as DemCong. Well now an expose at MSNBC shows 9 to 1 donation rate by journalists to the DemCong over The Stupid Party, as Kim du Toit likes to call the Republican party. this doesn’t really come as a surprise to anyone does it?

They all say that they are still impartial or that their father/husband did it in their name against their will or some other bullshit excuse. This is typical for Libtard DemCongs though. Excuses instead of admission. Never a group willing to take responsibility for its own actions.  Here is the links to the information below and a list of all who gave and to whom.

Fox News is saying Fred will not announce till after Independence Day. Let us all hope he runs, because what is out there now is wholly unacceptable. Here is the article entitled “Fred Thompson Expected to Announce White House Candidacy in July” by Carl Cameron of Fox News.

It seems all but certain that former senator and “Law & Order” TV star Fred Thompson will formally announce his campaign for president sometime after July 4.

Sources tell FOX News that the former Tennessee senator will wait until after Independence Day to announce in hopes of finding a more interested public, and the announcement could come as soon as July 5. Although plans have not yet been solidified.

And The Politico reported Wednesday that Thompson told a group of financial backers on Tuesday that he is going to run and had already raised millions of dollars. Thompson is encouraging more support as he readies his campaign in the crowded field of Republican candidates.

• Click here to read the report in The Politico.

The Politico also reports that a number of staffers to former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush are expected to join Thompson’s campaign.

Polls show that Republicans have not been satisfied with the current field of candidates. And even as an unofficial candidate, Thompson has pulled closely with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is neck-and-neck with Arizona Sen. John McCain. For now, they are trailing former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Thompson is posturing himself as the more conservative alternative to would-be opponents Giuliani and McCain, and more steadfast than Romney, who is facing criticism for recently switching views on some conservative issues.

Thompson also is expected in early June to form a “testing the waters” committee, which is one type of precursor organization to an official campaign. While foregoing an exploratory committee, the filing still would allow Thompson to raise money in June in order to launch his candidacy in July.

Thompson does not expect to have the millions needed to compete aggressively in the Ames, Iowa, straw poll in August, but does hope to raise enough in June — including more than $1 million from a one-day telemarketing kick-off. Romney held a similar fundraiser in January pulling in $6 million.

So now Rudy Guliani is my new best friend. From gun banner to advocate, it is amazing the transformation politicos will make to get more power. Now Rudy supports CCW so long as your not a criminal or loon. Yet under Rudy New York had some of the most stringent gun laws in the country and he didn’t try to change that, quite opposite, he was all for gun control. Can you ever trust a politico that changes so completely his position just to run for office? Changing one’s mind is fine, but Rudy seems to do it for the most unprincipled reason, lust for power.

Here is the Newsday article entitled “Rudy flips gun stance”

Rudy flips gun stance

BY CRAIG GORDON
craig.gordon@newsday.com

KEENE, N.H. — Rudolph Giuliani Wednesday sounded open to letting anyone who’s not a criminal or mental patient carry a concealed handgun — even telling a woman who packs a piece in New York that it’s OK with him.

Giuliani later backpedaled — saying decisions on concealed-carry permits are up to the states — but his answer had been different to Julie Trevor, of Stowe, Vt., at a campaign stop. Trevor told Giuliani she gets nervous every time she enters New York while toting a concealed handgun she got for protection after her house was burglarized.

“It concerns me that I have to worry about that when I go across the New York State border, because of what would happen to me if I got caught with that weapon,” which is legal in Vermont, she said. “What would you do to protect my right to carry a concealed weapon?”

Giuliani’s days as a crusading anti-gun mayor are behind him now that he’s running for president, and Wednesday he staked out a simple test for concealed-carry permits, which are tightly controlled in New York. He asked two questions — Are you a criminal, and have you ever been institutionalized? — and to the laughter of the audience, rendered his verdict when she said no to both.

“As far as I am concerned, you can have a concealed weapon,” he said. “The Constitution of the United States in the Second Amendment gives you an individual right to bear arms; that individual right is as strong as your individual right to free speech, free assembly, being safe against unreasonable searches and seizures.”

Outside the event, Giuliani said his test came from a recent federal court ruling overturning a tough District of Columbia gun ban, which set what he considered “reasonable” limits on gun ownership. He said he believes that individual states should decide who can carry weapons.Copyright 2007 Newsday Inc.
