I'll be thinking about a program for our hour together on internet radio tomorrow night, so I want to ask the intelligent, eloquent, and passionate among you to suggest topics I might want to work into the lineup. Just leave your ideas here.
2 possibilitites to explore... What is center-right?
Separated from Evangelical Conservatism? Politically Correct Safe Zone? Not a member of a country club; Rockefeller or Travis Tritt? RINO? Mavrick? Double my chances of getting a date on Sat night? Real conservatism scares old people and little children?
or... Are willing to ask for more concrete examples of our representatives commitment to our founding principals and an articulated demonstration of the threat that progressivism weilds in the government. For Example. Rep Paul Ryan schooled the President and all the other lawyer-politicians at the healthcare summit in the finer point of economics. Why did republicans distance themselves from him afterwards when you would have thought that clearly they should rally around the only person in the room having eloquently dismantled the bill at hand and offered a fiscally sound solution? Incapable of understanding economics? Hadn't read polling numbers yet to see how Ryan looked?
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! I've also invited a few friends to join in, so pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Secondly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility ONLY for what I write. I do not take responsibility, nor will I be held responsible, for what my guest bloggers write or for what those who offer comments write. I will occasionally exercise my right to edit/delete both blog posts and comments if they do not meet my view of what clean, civil, concise and relevant mean.
