About Me

I am not conservative or Republican. I am a “neo-libertarian.” It’s more logically consistent than conservatism and liberalism. Liberals are not evil; however, their ideology has proven to be a demonstrable failure and incredibly harmful when administered on the body politic.

I have lived in the South all of my life. While I’d love to travel, I don’t want to live anywhere else. Though I currently live near Jacksonville, FL, I call Memphis home (lived there most of my life). I’m a Florida State University Seminole, through and through.

All viewpoints are welcome on my blog. However, if I ban you or edit/delete your comments, it’s because I found you to be offensive, repulsive, or otherwise useless. My world, my rules. Deal with it, or beat it.

Finally, I had a happy childhood, so my worldview has NOT been “warped” by a lousy upbringing. Quite the contrary: I have been blessed, and my outlook has been molded accordingly. I won’t apologize for having grown up in a loving, middle-class family.

    I apologise for loving livestock, but at least I admit it. Every recovery starts with the admission of a problem.

    I do believe that your livestock fetish is a crime, but kudos for your admission. I’d recommend seeking professional care.

    I’m a registered Republican, but consider myself a conservative since the Republicans have basically become wimps running to the nearest plastic surgeon to get their lips permenantly attached the rea-ends of every America; either that or they’re busy sticking their fingers in the wind to see which way we’ll all vote.

    You must have guts though to read the site; it’s dangerous to liberals; they’ve been known to explode, implode, denode, etc when reading.

    Hey there, I happened across your posts under the “moonbats” tag and had to check you out. Whereas I am something of a conservative, I am libertarian on many issues, so I can appreciate your stance here.

    Anyway, it’s always nice to find more people with common ground against the moonbat left. Keep up the good work!

    Scientists discover REAL cause of Global Warming is variations in sun not CO2!!!

    Hi,

    I am a long time admirer of your blog! Please, read the email I’m sending to every Conservative Radio Station I can think of, about a British Documentary titled, “The Great Global Warming Swindle,” that you can still see by clicking your mouse on the web link I have provided below, but as you can read from my copied letter below–I don’t know how much longer that web link will still be available, so please try to see the documentary now. Also, mention the documentary on your blog and also provide a permanent web link to the documentary on your blog so others can also view the documentary from your web page after your daily entry rolls of your blog entries, and contact every conservative radio station, organization, blog, newspaper, and politician you can think of, so this Global Warming Fear Mongering can be put to rest once and for all.

    THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!

    Dear Sir:

    This is the third email I’ve sent you on this subject. About 4 weeks ago you I sent you an email about a British Documentary done be scientists titled, “The Great Global Warming Swindle” saying scientists have discovered what causes Global Warming is variations in the sun–not CO2!!! The documentary also shows scenes from Al Gore’s, documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth, and points out the flawed logic in his interpretation of the climate data. Anyway, the new web address I gave you to see the documentary no longer works, but do not panic, I’ve found a new link that still works. But, I think I have deduced why the web link to the documentary no longer works. Soon it will be available as a DVD, and you can buy a copy for a $20.00. So, I think that’s why the producers removed the web link. However, I found a French Web Link that still works!!! Fortunately–the Audio is still in English—and it has French Subtitles!!! I will also provide the contact info web page of the producers of the documentary so you can contact them for how to get your own DVD, incase the French Web Link also stops working, and also so you can contact them, on who to interview, incase you decide to share this info with your listeners.

    To see the video, click your mouse on the web link below. On my computer sometimes the video player pauses. Just be patient. It will start again shortly. Also, the title of the documentary is displayed 5 times before the end of the documentary, its not over till you see the credits!!!

    As for who to interview: I would suggest contacting the producers, of the documentary—whose contact info I will provide below—and asking them to suggest someone!!!

    I came across your site via technorati, when I was checking the stats of a site I created. It’s so refreshing to see people who actually think and who actually care about the country we are living in.

    I agree 100%, political correctness is going to destroy us all. I’m a grad student in psychology and am currently taking classes in ethics and multiculturalism: concepts that are important, indeed, but the concepts are being taught with such a liberal bias that I think I’m going to scream.

    Moonbattery at its finest.

    Dear Crusher, wonderful site, with a pleasing, clean and grammatically correct text. Can’t hurt! Aah,I see you make a real and natural it seems, effort to avoid Logical Fallacy, Cognitive Bias and other forever a 17 year old, cant. Great stuff. I must look up your old archives!

    The Clintons come around for a free meal every Tuesday. If its Hillary and Bill I always get the wife to wear white to hide any sudden stains.

    By the way, Bill dropped in Saturday and while I was busy, he took all the grapes from the table and must have hidden them in the small and crumpled bag he had with him. Nope, it wasn’t Hillary.

    I said, “Bill, have you seen the grapes that were here?” And I swear, he looked me straight in the eye and said, “There were no grapes on the table at any time!”. Is there something wrong with Bill?

    Sheesh, a man can’t even leave fruit unattended around a Clinton. All the best, Colonel Robert Neville.

    PS. Any chance of adding my shabby Australian blog to ya list? A few amusing posts o’ mine.

    I just wanted to thank you for the kind words about my late husband Randy Ruditz. Apparently you were at the Presbytarian or Catholic church when we visited. I appreciate the fact you looked into the disease and researched a little before you spoke about Randy. It shows what kind of man you are. It is a horrific disease and I feel every day for the people having to endure such agony.

    Anyway, thanks for remembering him. He was a good man and tried hard in life. Some things just don’t work out the way you plan however, many lessons to be learned. Take care.

    Now why hate progressives? We are the ones that save conservatives from themselves. Without us as part of a check and balance, you people would kill yourselves through ignorance and lack of information. It’s progressives that got the 40 hour work week, cleaned up our food production in the early 1900s, try to keep the air and water clean, try to get jobs back in America. The real threat you have is not thinking clearly.

  26. crushliberalism said,

    December 19, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    Now why hate progressives?

    Oh, I dunno. Your reflexive disdain for America? Your hatred of the troops? Your contempt for capitalism? Your commitment to destroying merit-based achievement? Your “feeling, not thinking” approach to problems? Your coddling of dictators in the name of “peace”? Your lethal naivite that could get us blown to bits? Aside from all those things, I guess I don’t have an answer for you.

    It’s progressives that got the 40 hour work week

    Whoopty freakin’ do. If I worked more, I’d get paid more. If you worked more, you wouldn’t be on public assistance.

    …cleaned up our food production in the early 1900s

    I wasn’t aware that my side longed for dirty food production. How effective THAT must have been during campaign season: “Vote for me, and I’ll secure your salmonella for generations to come!” Thanks for the history lesson.

    …try to keep the air and water clean

    See prior comment, and replace “food production” with “air and water”.

    …try to get jobs back in America.

    Americans have no “right” to a job. Jobs are earned. If you “progressives” wouldn’t make it so damned hard for companies to be competitive (over-regulation, unions, oppressive taxes, etc.), companies wouldn’t feel the need to outsource or move offshore. Yeah, I should be thanking you for that, right?

    The real threat you have is not thinking clearly.

    I’m pretty sure I’m not about to let a liberal lecture ME about “thinking”, since you halfwits operate off of emotion and not off of thinking.

    You’re an embarrassment to Seminole Nation, dude.

    i find that many “progressives” hate liberaterians, why is that exactly?

    Libertarians generally believe in accountability, responsibility, and individual freedom, and “progressives” abhor all of those ideals.

    Not that you need it, but here is another example that solidifies your tagline above:

    From the WSJ at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120269904120358135.html

    “Barack,” she interjected, “Feel — don’t think!” Telling her husband his “over-thinking” during past debates had tripped him up with rival Hillary Clinton, she said: “Don’t get caught in the weeds. Be visceral. Use your heart — and your head.”

    Anyway, keep up the good work. Nice facelift on the site…

    I just found this article re: the al-Qaida plot in England to kidnap and behead a British muslim soldier. The head of the plot received a life sentence. The UK was giving this guy almost $40K a year to take care of his mom while he was plotting murder. This terrorist scumbag’s remarks about “economic warfare” are worth remembering.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/19/uksecurity.ukcrime

    “Khan, 37, who had been a keen footballer and cricketer, turned from a drinker and smoker to an extremist obsessed by the speeches of Bin Laden and Abu Hamza.
    He also had an elderly mother to care for and received £20,000 a year in benefits to look after her. He was recorded as saying that bleeding the British state was part of the extremist mission: “There is a financial war and we’re going to make them bleed financially.”

    Apparently, being a terrorist in the UK can be a lucrative government job….

    Hey Neighbor,

    Native Memphian, lived there most of my life, I currently reside south of the border in Southaven, MS. Memphis has become too violent for me, the liberals have destroyed the infrastructure of the city and it has become a very large ghetto. I’m afraid that the rest of the country is destined to a similar fate if Mr. Obama is elected President.
    I’ve recently discovered your post and will add you to my list of favorites.
