After several months of forwarding e-mails and news stories to friends and relatives (at the risk of becoming a pain in the butt) I've decided to take the plunge and start a blog. This wondrous twenty first century medium has changed our world in so many ways and I've decided I want in on the action.
We live in interesting times. We're in the midst of the first world war of our century yet many don't feel or care to know about the threats we face. We've not been attacked in our own soil since September 11, 2001 yet many express the fear that our country is less safe. Various terrorist attempts from suicidal, homicidal, islamofacists have been thwarted, yet many express an intense fear and hatred of our own president.
I grew up in the Democratic party of old. The Democratic party that took its last breath when it threw Joe Liebermann overboard. The old party of Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, and others has been hijacked by the kooks on the extreme left and represents a danger to the established values of the American founders and of the old party faithful. I didn't know I was a conservative until I saw what liberalism and the Democratic party had become.
The USA is still the greatest nation in the history of the world. It upsets me when so many of our citizens feel they have to apologize for being an American. One of the reasons for establishing this blog is to celebrate Americanism and to help spread the word about this great country of ours. I also want to dispel as many myths as possible that are spread by liberal special interest groups and the antique media. With your help we can do great things.
