About Me

I'm generally a quiet dude wanting nothing from my government but to be left the hell alone. But since that's not forthcoming I rant like a madman about all the idiocy to anyone who will listen. Maybe, just maybe we can turn things around and get back to what this country was founded on.No, I'm not one of those hardcore Christian types, I don't even believe a God exists. I'm not one of those militia guys either, not that I have anything against them, just not my thing unless we get invaded or something. I'm just an annoyed American sick of being lied to by politicians, sick of paying taxes in excess of what our forefathers fought a war over and sick of people invoking the Constitution while they shred it apart.But I'm not bitter or anything.

My Interests

Politics, history, being a thorn in the side of the oppressor and shining the light of truth on stupidity everywhere.

I'd like to meet:

The Founding Fathers, just to get some soundbites from them about how badly we've screwed this place up. "What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you buttmonkeys not understand?!" they'd exclaim as Congress stammered like drunken imbeciles.With the exception of Ted Kennedy, who in fact is a drunken imbecile.George Bush, so I can ask him face to face what the hell he thinks he's doing.Hillary Clinton, to tell her she's unelectable and to just shut the hell up.I wouldn't mind kickin' Osama bin Laden's ass either.

Movies:

Red Dawn, the Omega Man, the Postman, Dawn of the Dead, the Road Warrior, pretty much anything about regular joes whoopin' ass after the shit has hit the fan.

Television:

C-Span, the History Channel, al Jazeera (for laughs)

Books:

Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Sun Tzu's "Art of War" should be required reading for anyone even remotely considering entering the political arena. I also recommend the Federalist and if you want to mix it up a little, Mein Kampf. If you can get through that your patience is almost ready for blathering politicians yapping about ideas that don't hold up to critical examination.Or for escapism, read the Bible. Skip to the last chapter, it's the best part.

Heroes:

Lots of dead white guys that built this country. You know, those gun-toting insurgent types that wrote that Constitution we used to use.

Myth busting

Modern American politics is riddled with myths that millions of people take on faith every day. To find real solutions we have to understand reality. That means these myths need busting. Since no one ...

Another Election Year&

For a long time now Presidential elections have been a sadly comic, yet somehow irrelevant spectacle and this one promises to be set a new standard in that regard. The array of candidates is an odd mi...

Rambling Reflections on a War

This seems as good a time as any to get this off my chest. Despite encouraging signs of progress, I've recently been forced to confront some things pertaining to this war we find ourselves engaged in....

What if war is the answer?

War is not the answer. It's a fashionable thing to say these days. But what if it's not true? What if war can actually solve all the world's problems? Lets take a walk on the dark side, shall we& For...

About this shitty war...

How many times have we heard Leftists drone on about how the war in Iraq is illegal and immoral? More than I can count, it's a mantra. It's repeated ritualistically without any real understanding of w...

Social Inertia

There's a lot going on these days. A Presidential election, Pakistan on the verge of chaos, Iraq being its usual crappy self, so much that could be discussed. So I'm not going to talk about any of it...

Government shutdown...

Averted. Dammit. Yes, at the last moment the Republicans in the legislature sold us out and raised taxes. Higher income tax and sales tax on services will soon be with us. What these people fail to ...

Michigan tax games

Time for the mess of state politics again. Non-Michigan readers, don't feel you can't comment, it really is as dumb as I'm going to make it sound. Last week a plan to increase the sales tax was d...

The Environment

The various environmental issues, be it climate change, pollution, species conservation and the like are too often presented as a clash between caring hippies and evil industrialists. This fuels alot...

Will the Real Americans Please Stand Up

I was going to post a piece about the "New Feudalism" but it had a problem. It kept referring to "Americans" and I realized something. We don't know what the hell an American is. We all use it to mea...
