A Little Reminder

Here's a slideshow reminder, for those of you who have forgotten: Slideshow

Remember what we're up against, and think about what type of world you want your kids to grow up in...

It All Starts with Economic Freedom....

I've been reading the New American Revolutionist a bit lately- check him out- particularly this post on economic feedom.  Enjoy!

Convention Coverage

The only thing interesting about the political conventions this year is the fact that bloggers are there covering them... Since the bloggers aren't delegates, and the convention is scripted, it seems after reading the posts that they're all really bored.  Perhaps if the delegates kept live blogs, it might be interesting to get into their heads, but no such luck this time.

I enjoyed Clinton's speech Monday night, but not for the reason you might think- his presidency was a disaster in many respects, and were it not for the technology boom (which had more to do with free-market forces than governmental policies), this fact would be painfully obvious to most Americans.  Be that as it may, Clinton might be the most masterful orator of the past hundred years.  His eloquence just can't be matched.

Ostensibly a speech to rally support for Kerry, hidden under the surface was an excellent attempt at rewriting the history of his administration and putting it in a more positive light...  The 'Kerry mentions' were just frequent enough to avoid this appearance to most people... The 'strength and wisdom' comment was classic.

Kudos to Bill, he may have done some damage to Bush, who like himself, is perfectly willing to waste my tax dollars and walk all over the Constitution with reckless abandon!

DON'T BE A VICTIM ?

Of a physical attack, or of people who think that it's possible to learn self-defense solely through books and videos?

Don't get me wrong, self-defense and martial arts books and videos are great, as I have several. Each has their place in aiding your training.  My actual training has done far more for me than just having the knowledge could ever do... There is a big difference in knowing what to do and instinctively applying a technique when you really need it!

Don't believe it if you get the impression that it will be easy to gain the ability to 'defeat any attacker.'  The only way to achieve that is to physically train, preferrably with various human opponents, for several years... Even then, you will not be ready for all possible attacks.  Here's the link to a site that prompted this post:

Major life change...

I just realized how much my life has changed recently with the addition of my wife and stepdaughter...  I just spent most of tonight assembling a swingset!  I'm sure there's much more to come the parenting front...  No wonder I don't seem to read as much as I used to...   All in all, it's been a good change- I'm happy to have them both.

This is Unbelievable...

Admittedly, I don't like either of the two main political parties in this country. I don't see a dime's worth of difference between the two...

That being said, this removal of documents from the National Archives is an outrage... Whether or not Berger gets jail time over this will indicate if the USA is a nation of laws, or if we're a nation of laws that apply only to the unconnected. Click this link: Yahoo!

Governor mocks foes as `girly-men'

My internet service is finally back up and running... I can't believe how much I use it, until I can't...

This is HILARIOUS- his comments are perhaps uncalled for, even if true: MercuryNews.com 07/18/2004 Governor mocks foes as `girly-men'

Why can't we have colorful politicians like that in Missouri?
