The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--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! 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. Thirdly, 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 for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Brutal! I love it!
Anybody who knows the first thing about politics knows the private sector and the public sector are forever rivals. The natural inertia of government is for more and more control, all for the public good of course. A centralized planned economy is essential to tyranny.
I'm not the least interested in hearing Omama & Company's altruistic rationalizations, even if they are sincere. What I'm interested in is liberty; as a matter of fact I demand it as a human right. And if Obama succeeds in his powergrab (we've just seen the tip of the iceberg) then I feel no obligation to obey any laws until my freedom is restored.
Sally and Hammer, you have it covered.
