Freedom of speech under attack in North Carolina?

I’m interested in learning more about the incident involving a “conservative kiosk” in North Carolina, whose owner claims he is being “kicked out” of a mall because he sells “conservative” items. With the exception of Fox News, who I consider somewhat unreliable at best, the national media has totally ignored this story. A Google search …

Voter's Regret

A week ago I voted for John McCain. At no point did the prospect of a McCain/Palin ticket excite me, but the “cult of personality” surrounding Barack Obama pissed me off.  Obama was much better in 2004 when he was my little secret. In the end, that’s why I voted for John McCain–Obama had become …

Election 2008: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Geography of the popular vote

We’ve now had 48 hours to process our emotions and the election returns and I think we can begin a preliminary analysis of the results from Tuesday. On one hand, the election illustrates radical changes in our nation–for better or for worse. Thirty-three percent of the nation will always lean to the Left, thirty-three percent …

The Art of Dissent

Since Ohio has officially been placed in Obama’s corner, I’m going to go ahead and call church on this election and declare Barack Obama the next President of the Untied States of America. As a proud American citizen, I will support and honor President Obama, but I will let him know that “dissent” is an …

Rural/Urban American divide: Part MMMCCLVI

I’m thinking about the election again. After two weeks of trying to process Barack Obama’s insurmountable lead, I keep on coming back to the fact that we’re a divided country. It’s a divide that goes back to the dawn of the 20th Century, a divide between rural and urban America.  Sure, there are other divides …

Political t-shirts

What would the reaction of the Obama campaign, Democrats in general and Bush bashers be if the following t-shirts were made with Obama’s name and image? Would the same people who purchased these t-shirts complain about t-shirts with Obama’s name and image in place of Bush?

St. Louis, Missouri Vice-Presidential Debate

I could sit here and analyze the Palin/Biden debate like a million other blogs, but if you have read or plan on reading any of my other posts you know where I stand and can probably predict what I will say.  With that said, I’ll spare you an in depth analysis. However, I would like …

Happiness Is…

I’m happy! While many investors, media members and politicians lament the defeat of the proposed $700 billion rescue plan, I celebrate this resounding defeat of socialism.  Call me naive, but I believe that as a people and as a country we will be just fine. The United States has always responded well to adversity. I …

Obama in Bohemia!

While living in East Texas, I found a home among East Texas’ progressive underground, a unique blend of neo-Bohemians, punks, artists and emo kids.  Though small, it was a vibrant community that encouraged artistic expression, personal liberties, and a general sense of rebellion against all the cultural stereotypes attached to East Texas.  We went to …
