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.

How much longer? How many times must leftist "economics" be tried before they finally admit it CAN"T be done right..."this time" or any time.
There are no surprises here. Everyone with a modicum of an economic education could see it coming miles away. I'm convinced the people who are perpetuating this nonsense don't themselves believe it will work. But for them it's good politics. It's paying back their constituents. It's putting money and power into the hands of those who they believe have been left behind...unjustly.
They are mad and they will drive us to ruin. If by some strange twist of fate Obama is re-elected and the American model of freedom and liberty is killed off, not just us but the World will be an uglier, harsher, poorer place...except for the few. Think on this; the top three richest counties in America are not in Silicon Valley or South Florida. The top three are in Northern Virginia, bedroom communities for Washington, DC.
