I went in this morning and voted in the primary. Things are already settled in my party’s primary for President, but it is my civic duty. Plus I wanted to cast my protest vote.
I voted for Ron Paul. I actually agree with all his positions on issues except Iraq. I would have voted for him [...]

Am I A Libertarian?
Fri August 17th, 2007 at 10:36 amPolitics
Recently I signed up for a Facebook account because all the cool kids were doing it. When they asked political party I checked Libertarian. Which is kind of strange because I’m a life long Republican. And the next election I’m planning on voting for Fred Thompson. So why did I do it?
One reason is the [...]
Waiter Rant - Hard & Soft
Mon April 23rd, 2007 at 9:41 amPolitics, Web
Don’t often link to other posts just because I like them. Don’t know why, but here’s one from Waiter Rant. Discussion in a dog park with a cop about a serial killer. Great story to show you that there really is nothing new under the sun.

Republicians Are Better Framers

Or at least they used to be according to this article about how Republicans appear to be good “framers” and Democrats are lousy ones.

They’ve now outlawed Junior ROTC.
I don’t understand how they can even be allowed to do this. ROTC is related to the federal government’s function and I don’t understand how a local city government can just kick them out.
And of course it doesn’t matter if JROTC is doing good for the students in it. Political [...]

Or about the rise of Islam in Europe. Or the decline of a willingness to fight for freedom.

Scary lines from the article. About a European feminist:
“The dominant ethos,” he told De Volkskrant, “is perfectly voiced by the stupid blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes [...]

A response that started as a comment on the Houston Metro Blog article Immigration Issue:Some Facts but it got too long.
Adrian I hope you feel better after venting, but most of your arguments are strawmen.
The thing that most pisses people off is the idea that a group of people break our laws and then protest [...]

Yuna has a great post putting all the things we take for granted here in the USA in perspective.
I worry my kids don’t know how good they have it. I wonder how to show them. Take a trip to a third world country? Visit missionaries working in those places? Go volunteer at a food bank [...]
