Thanks For Reading

Hi all. I started this blog for many reasons, but mainly because I had the time. Well, all that’s changed. Thanks for reading, and hopefully for caring. 

I’d like to leave on a note of disillusionment — is this not where all roads lead in politics? Barack Obama today voted for unlimited government spying on all international communications into and out of the United States AND retroactive immunity for the telecoms that have been helping the government to do this — illegally — in the past. 

Once again, we seem to have a Democratic presidential candidate that thinks the best way to win over the electorate is to act like a Republican. Despite our fears of terror, now is the moment of our party’s ascendancy. Too bad that we’ve been too beaten down over the last ten years to recognize this. 

Good luck to all of us — or as some would have it, God bless America,

D
