Visit Bill Whittle at Eject! Eject! Eject!
Mr. Whittle personifies Conservatism at its finest, in my opinion. His essays are eloquent but accessible, circuitous and yet still interesting, and lastly, moving beyond mere words.
I first read the essays published on his website for free, then went out and bought his book Silent America, which is a hard copy of those essays. I thoroughly enjoy reading them, even now for the third and fourth times. He reminds me that hope is not lost, that there is beauty abounding still in this Promised Land we call America.

It's Early, But...
... right now, if you put a gun to my head and told me to vote for someone, that someone would be Rudy Giuliani.
Reason One: I believe he's got the clearest shot at beating what looks right now to be a Clinton/Obama '08 Democratic ticket.
Reason Two: Mayor Giuliani ejected then-PLO leader Yasser Arafat from an October 1995 Lincoln Center concert to which he was uninvited. "Maybe we should wake people up to the way this terrorist is being romanticized," Giuliani said. While a U.S. attorney under President Ronald Reagan, Giuliani investigated the 1985 PLO hijacking of the Achille Lauro, fired on by four terrorists who wounded ship passengers and fatally shot Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound Jewish retiree.
Reason Three: NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks. "So I think not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem," Giuliani said.
POW!
I may change my mind during the course of the campaign season. In fact, I probably will. But with the Democrats already seemingly set on the Clinton nomination, and with the Media in full Obama-Glorification mode, I don't think it's too early to do a bit of electioneerin'.

Welcome
Hello all.
Here you'll find my ideas regarding American politics. If you know me personally, you probably already have a handle on what I'll say here. Or not. In any case, feel free to comment. I invite debate, but with one addendum: keep it civil or keep it to yourself. Ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated. Enjoy.
