Most husband and wife stuff is private, but I disappointed my wife in a very public way and the only way to really apologize is to make it public.
One night last year, I think it was a Saturday, a tweet went out on Cali Lewis’ account about global warming being a hoax. It became a [...]
The political part of my heart is unshakable. I don’t believe in political compromise. I believe in political victory. My personal politics is influenced by the grace and love of Jesus and it’s enhanced by the political philosophy of Ronald Reagan. Smaller government is better for the freedom of individuals. That’s what I believe.
My political [...]
I’ve been working through an internal struggle since McCain introduced us to Palin. I don’t like being political in my public life because politics is so personal and I don’t want to risk alienating folks who disagree or don’t enjoy rational, political discourse. With Palin, I’m all-in at least one more time. If she disappoints [...]
I’ve writen about my need to stay away from politics in order to maintain mental stability. There are things done and said on the left and the right that totally throw me off my game. I haven’t called myself a conservative since President Bush called himself one, but this election year, putting on the old [...]
Sarah Palin has hit a nerve with me. I’m trying to understanding it by writing about it.
In just over two weeks, I’ve gone from being a non-registered, non-voter with a 90% laissez faire attitude about what government does to being all-in for a person I want to see become president.
Being disaffected by politics didn’t mean [...]
I feel like I have to weigh in on this. The church Sarah Palin once attended appears to believe people can be “healed” of homosexuality.
Background: I’m a born-again Christian who loves … is that the word? I value gay people. I believe God blessed the planet with gay people and I don’t care if anyone [...]
I’ve taken a break from the Internet over the past week. I haven’t checked email or twitter in days. My goal is to avoid political discussions because no one is going to change my thinking, and I’m not really interested in trying to change anyone else’s thinking.
Sarah Palin has inspired me in the past week. [...]
Alcoholics describe their experience with alcohol in a way that very nearly mirrors my experience with political news. I have to try very hard to avoid partisan political discussion because even a small amount of exposure can send me spiraling into depression and ultimately a sense of despair. Some people can handle it. I cannot.
Growing up, I watched This Week [...]
I’m a Libertarian. I think I have been since I was five-years-old. My fundamental value is a belief in the right to be free. Since the Great Depression, government has slowly taken more and more power and responsibility away from individuals and it did it mostly with the consent of American people.
I’m a Reagan kid. He was [...]
Someone posted a comment on BigTrip.TV:
I’m interested to know what you’re doing to offset the carbon emissions from this “trip”.
I love that he put the word trip in quotes, as if it’s somehow suspect and not really a trip at all. Surely our true intention is to destroy the planet as we know it [...]
