Welcome to the arena

Here you will find my opinions about the application of political principles to the news of the day. My perspective is clearly from the conservative point of view. This is a place to express my concerns, passions, irritations, and commentary as they apply to the current political issues of the day. Political is defined loosely in this blog. There may be posts that are not strictly political, such as movie reviews, medical topics, religious commentary and thoughts on history. I hope interest will be generated by blending my thoughts with current events. I anticipate that there will be honest disagreement. I encourage feedback to my posts with the goal of achieving clarity of disagreement. I will strive to keep the conversation polite and respectful, while avoiding political correctness and maintaining tension to keep things exciting. Hopefully, friends and family will enjoy frequenting the arena for a little intellectual stimulation and good ol' fashioned debate.

Obama punishes political dissent

Here is a breaking story about how the Obama campaign has kicked off 3 reporters from 3 different prominent newspapers. The apparent reason is because all three newspapers endorsed McCain instead of Obama. The reporters had been traveling with Obama for many weeks as part of the press that rides on his plane.

I thought the Democrats were the party of tolerance ;). This is just one of many examples on how vindictive Obama can be. His campaign definitely fits the mold of Chicago machine politics.
