What's the matter, Bub? Did your high profile attempt to bury the VA scandal simply turn into a new scandal? Or was it the video of you doing flys with 8.5 lb dumbbells? Let us in on your pain, friend, we can help you carry the load.

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.

It is bizarre that this week Barack Hussein Obama, the man who wrote that he "would stand with the Muslims" proved it by breaking the law and provided material support (return of their leaders) to a terrorist organization. Of course, Smilin' Bob, black America, and the rest of the usual suspects agree with his actions, but it sucks that this traitor is representing America today on the Normandy beaches. Obama's entire presidency is a slap in the face to the men who sacrificed their lives 70 years ago.
Amen Tom. Every day he and his Marie-Antoinette finally proud of America queen inhabit the White House is a slap in the face and a punch in the gut to every American citizen who ever gave one damn about this nation and it's guarantees of personal liberty. But you have to give at least one damn to feel those slaps and gut punches and if you are too coddled and/or too ignorant to understand that every increase in the size and power of government comes at the price of that liberty, well then, you probably won't ever even get to half a damn. Until, that is, you realize that those coddling government arms that you thought were hugging you have actually been ever so slowly strangling you. Then, when you find yourself begging for some benevolent foreign force to come over the beachhead risking their lives to release you from the choking government you always thought loved you, then you get a whole bunch of damns, just too damned late.
