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.
A few months into the W's presidency I declared to my family that he would rank as one of the 5 worst presidents. We won't really know for 25 years, because thats usually the amount of time history gives before deciding, but I'm on pretty safe ground with that prediction.
Since I feel hot, I'm going to make the inverse prediction: Obama will go down as one of the 5 top presidents. To do that he'd have to bump Teddy Roosevelt (5) or Thomas Jefferson (4), which sounds crazy and foolish, but that's my prediction.
Obviously, I think this election will turn out extremely well for the USA.
By the way, just to demonstrate a little sober-mindedness, I'll go on record as saying he won't be better than FDR (3), Washington (2), or Lincoln (1).
