Deciding what to blog sometimes is just as hard as writing it.  There are too many viable topics.

Al Gore always makes for interesting commentary, but even I can only call him a parasite so many times before the point gets old.

Parasite!

Sorry I had to, I guess I had one more in me.

I parse a lot of sites for stories.  SisterToldjah.com, MichelleMalkin.com, Hotair.com, StopTheACLU.com and most importantly Memeorandum.com all provide excellent information to stories on a broad range of topics, while EffWa.org and Soundpolitics.com offer great local coverage.

Of course the left provides its own entertainment.  HuffPo, DailyKos.com and Wonkette.com have a great time proving their unhinged nature on a national level, while Horsesass.net and blatherwatch.com provide the entertainment locally. 

Sometimes I post a series of links, or headlines and a bit of commentary.  Sometimes a reference to a topic and detailed commentary.

Sometimes I post videos or cartoons to break the pace and relax.

Sometimes I just think and write how things make me feel, and post the petulant whiney results (like this one).

Blogging provides a lot of things for me.  Stress relief, chance to poke the nose of big events in the world, and a chance to have my voice be heard and make an impact.

And it’s fun.

But sometimes it feels futile.  The events keep rolling right over me sometimes, and it almost feel hopeless.

How can one b-list blogger make a difference.

And yet…I get a lot of feedback from people thanking me for trying, for doing things like keeping the Global Warming Swindle alive so the information continues to flow.

To be clear, I don’t keep posting all the anti-alarmist information for no reason, I do it because the other side of the story matters, and we cannot make informed choices without full information.  And when the media and the traditional outlets will not provide complete unbiased information, how can I not, even if my sphere of influence is limited?

Global Warming is not my only focus, I am deeply concerned about Illegal Immigration and the farce I see on all sides in dealing with it. 

Just to make it clear.  Immigration is not about racism, as much as the demagogues would like to make you think so.

The recipe is simple, continue border enforcement and workplace enforcement and the problem goes away.  Then make a guest worker program that actually encourages immigrants to come here legally.

No jobs for illegals, no reason to come here illegally.  Do the math.

I am a former Military Serviceman, and I take all matters Military very seriously.

I am also a musician, but that a sideline.

And I am very concerned, particularly on a local level, about election fraud.  In a very real sense the 2004 Governors election fiasco here in Washington State is what drove me to be involved.  The institutional fraud here is unfathomable.

What is so hard to understand about making a voter show ID?  I don’t get it.

And so on and so on.  My focus is to try and see into the issue for the real issue behind the rhetoric and foolish posturing.

I am not a perfectly neutral nor have I ever claimed to be.

I am a conservative with moderate inclinations, and I am an independent in the sense that while my conservative beliefs makes me align with Republicans more then not, I am not a Republican.  My ideas are too Libertarian to find comfort there, but the Democrats are at opposition to too many of my ideals to make that a home.  I don’t vote the party, I vote the issue and the person.

Should the Democrats do the unthinkable and actually field a candidate that took national security and the war on terror seriously, voted to secure our borders and make serious efforts to stem illegal immigration, started treating abortion as a life issue, not a choice, and promoted a return to the constitutional concept of a state’s rights government (you know, that system we came from) I might vote for them.

Instead we are treated to an endless parade of candidates that enable failure, seek defeat and want to socialize our government to a very scary level.  They want to take entitlements and make them civil rights, while slowly sucking the will to achieve away from us.  The nanny state government nursing on the liberal mindset will do nothing but turns us into a country of people who absolutely depend on the Government to provide everything.

Our frontier spirit, the desire to build and dream and achieve will be replaced with a politically correct land of zombies mortally afraid of causing offense and unable to act independently and with passion. 

Makes my choices easy. 

In summary, I am sarcastic, cynical and opinionated and I make no pretenses otherwise.  I speak what I feel, and I defend the right to do so, even as I defend your right to disagree.  I encourage opposing opinions and have only deleted a couple whose unhinged ugliness was so far over the top I had no choice.

Ideas are fine.  Paranoid delusions are not.  Feed that beast on your own time.

And I hate Hypocrites, making Hillary one of my favorite targets.  Don’t even get me started.

I hate hypocrites the most when they are me.  I am not perfect, I make mistakes, I have personal biases that remove my objectivity.  But I try.

So there you have it.  A fresh look at an old face.

So if you come here, that’s what you will find.   I hope you find some value in it.
