Never Let A Crisis…
by Eric M. Blake March 26th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Political Facts
One of the things I don’t think I’ll ever get used to is the shameless tendency of the Left to try and exploit a tragedy. Timothy McVeigh? Oh, he was an extreme right-winger — Rush Limbaugh must’ve driven him to it! Paul Wellstone dies? For Paul Wellstone — let’s take the fight to the GOP, and take back Congress! 9/11? Bush should’ve seen it coming! No — scratch that — he was the one who did it: that’s right, 9/11 was an inside job! Katrina? It’s Bush’s fault — Dick Cheney blew up the levees, and “George Bush doesn’t
I’d Rather Have the Sausage

Before we get to the usual Winners and Losers this week, I'd like to share some insight from my visit to the State Capitol. I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with two elected officials this week -- a State Senator and a State Representative. Below are my assorted observations after dealing with the two. I'm being intentionally vague on names and party affiliations for reasons that should become obvious as you read on.

Get Out And VOTE!

(A brief note: Faithful Camp Campaign followers may have noticed the clash another writer here seems to want to initiate with yours truly. I will make it a point, as I always have, to not dignify such by addressing him directly. Instead, in any conflict of opinion here, I've made it a point to invoke the facts as I see them—including, but not limited to, an article of my own regarding Rick Santorum, and the beginning of my last article—so as to challenge arguments on those grounds, rather than engage in dismissive name-calling. Let the readers read both. To
The Return of the Citizen-Politician
by Eric M. Blake February 10th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Political Opinions
This week, dear readers, I thought I’d take a break from national politics—from bias in the media, from the GOP field, from why Rick Santorum is a good candidate and why Ron Paul is not, and from why Barack Obama must not get a second term—and focus on something a little closer to home. Today, let’s look at an example of why, amid all the garbage—all the conflict, all the childish name-calling (which, if you look at my “Ron Paul ‘Revolution’” article, is still going on….) — there is reason for hope for our country, as we look at
A Personal Note About Ron Paul
by Ronald A. Rowe February 1st, 2012 | Winners & Losers
Before we get on to the regular Winners and Losers, I’d like to get personal with you – I feel like our relationship has hit the stage where I can share this with you – and talk about my individual struggle with the Florida primary coming up on January 31st. I’ve normally made up my mind long before this point in the primary process. But not this time around. This time, I’m still trying to decide on a candidate. And believe it or not, the wild card in my deliberations is Ron Paul.
