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.

... blocked by the DoD YOUTUBE nazi's! Guess I have to watch it at home.
Good stuff, delivered very matter-of-factly. Did you happen to read the comments that followed? Holy cow, there's a class war a-brewin'
GG--you are spot on.
after seeing this and reading all the comments, i can tell you the community in which i'd rather reside. and it isn't with the commenters.
I qualified a while back. How come it only got a two star rating?
DoD--read the comments that GG alludes to--it got a two star because of the visceral reaction it evokes from people who are not among those he defends--and even moreso, people who can never be.
CW--that should be "people who WILL never be". This is America and anyone can be anything he or she is willing to work hard to be. While a lifetime of taking shortcuts and living off handouts bespeaks of the likelihood for future success, it is still within the wide-open realm of possibility offered to citizens of the United States, for each man and woman to alter his ways and, with a new-found sense of initiative, creativity, industry and determination, to join the ranks of Tigerhawk et al. Of course, before any of that can happen, he or she MUST abandon any sense of entitlement. What was I thinking? You're right: "People who CAN never be."
