One JOHN RYAN left this pithy comment to my last post of a while back:
Another dead right wing blog
Well, Jack, assuming you're not just an agent provocateur trying to mess with Kathy, Russ or me, what exactly is your point? Are you trying to make a connection between this blog's general rightward tilt and the fact that there hasn't been much of any posting lately? On what do you base this connection? Are you suggesting that we eeeeeevil right wingnuts have been driven back under our rocks by recent events? Again, where exactly do you get this? Or are you just a loserboy who hasn't anything better to do with himself than surf the net for dormant blogs and leave snide, empty comments?
FWIW, our dear pal Kathy decided some time back that she has what's known as a Real Life, on which she needed to focus her energies. I had hoped to keep this place going on a regular basis until such time as she decided to jump back in the blogging pool, but I quickly discovered that I simply didn't have enough material to cover two blogs continuously. Hence the extremely erratic posting.
Also FWIW, I (at least) am still an unapologetic right wing blogger. Let me give you a sample of my views:
- I support the President. I thank God that Bush was elected in 2000. I believe the invasion of Iraq was necessary and I still support both the troops and the mission. Related to this, we're going to have to deal with Iran sooner or later, so get used to the idea.
- I think "Global Warming" alarmism is nothing more than scare-mongering for the purpose of grabbing political power.
- I believe Roe v. Wade was an abomination and that abortion as a form of birth control is plain murder.
- I think Social Security is dead and the sooner the gov'mint moves toward private investment accounts, the better.
- I support a Constitutional amendment making English the official language of the United States.
- I support the abolition of all limitations on financial donations to political campaigns, with the proviso that all such donations must be made subject to immediate and full disclosure.
- There is no such thing as gay marriage. Period.
Is that enough to be going on? Because I've got lots more.

Posted by: Russ from Winterset at February 19, 2007 08:55 AMI'll second it.
Posted by: phin at February 19, 2007 09:04 AMI also enjoy things.
Posted by: Ben at February 19, 2007 01:45 PMYes. Things. Things are good. Shiny things especially, but dull things can be interesting in the right context. Most definitely agree with your liking of the things.
Posted by: Russ from Winterset at February 19, 2007 06:54 PMthat piece of shit trolled my blog too, and all he had to say was "the American people no longer support the war"
Wow, dead, huh?
Posted by: caltechgirl at February 19, 2007 07:00 PMSame dumbass - same comment. Although with mine (which made an official sign-off) he saw fit to add: "The American people live !"
Too bad he couldn't say as much for his brain cells.
As if my readers will now "wake up" and head over to Kos or something.
Dumbass.
Posted by: Gary at March 8, 2007 10:57 AMOK, your blog may not be dead, but your critical skills certainly are.
Bush is a fucking moron, and has been a disastrous president. And what's more, you know it, but are too proud to admit it.
Gay marriage is going to happen no matter how much you don't want it to. Boo hoo.
