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.
From time to time I think of succinct ways to describe the conservative political philosophy I believe in. Then I get busy with life and forget to write them down. Therefore, I'm starting this blog entry to write down the principles when they pop into mind. And by the way, many of these beliefs are not new or original with me, I just want to start my own list. I will also add quotes that I like. The principles and quotes are in no particular order at this point.
- I'm more afraid of power abuse by big government than big corporations.
- "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." —Margaret Thatcher
