Well here is a rehash of the responses I got for last week’s critical article of Ron Paul...

This was not a mob that made their presence felt in DC on 9/12...

Whenever one party usurps another, the losing party tends to oppose everything put forth by the other. This is more common on the Left, but lately I see it on the right as well...

For all the hustle and bustle going on about conservatives not reaching out to other demographics, the mainstream media just do not know where to look. And it is for this reason that I have made the leap to a bilingual site that reads in English and Spanish...

Since the recent election of 08, and the Liberal sweep of Congress, anger has mounted in my mind over the baseless charges over why the GOP lost, and what we should become to accommodate the challenges of the new century. To me, it is critical to isolate the reasons we lost, and not be guided by falsehoods, such as conservatism itself being outmoded. People have said that to no avail since the 1930s.

I returned from the Atlanta Tea Party and I wanted to offer some of what I saw—and what I did not see...

Rush said what I was thinking all along. Democrats called President Bush a liar based on false intelligence in a war they supported. They claimed that Bush stole the election despite a supreme court’s decision that he was lawfully the next president, they called him an idiot, a racist (despite fiscal largess to minorities), cranked out leftist films enshrining his caricature, and even one peep show detailing his much anticipated assassination...

“I, President Barack Obama, take it upon myself the grave responsibility to which you have entrusted me, and pledge to strive to reach across party lines. We are not red America, and we are not blue America. Out of many, we are one...

Some people were shocked by Colin Powell’s decision to endorse Barack Obama. I was not. What baffled me is that he calls himself a Republican, then, now, and into the future. There was so much of his candidate that he had to overlook, and so much that he had to abandon. Or did he? He fed his opaque reasoning to members of the press that he saw a shift to the far right in the GOP, when this is contradicted by the record of GOP officials demoralizing their base and moving to the left for the past 8 years on a range of issues. It just does not fit!

To all, Here in the USA, the greatest nation in the history of recorded time, we have every reason to be thankful, tempered, generous, and to still "dream heroic dreams." These times may be tough, with leaders with whom we disagree about the vision of American destiny, and with a stock market in somersaults, but these are not our worst times. Every adversity holds the potential to be our finest hour.

Barack Obama has been cavorting around the nation with his blackberry looking like a male model, talking about hope and change, change and hope, and hope for the change. “Feel good” vibes elevated the hearts of millions of American youth as they poured into the polls to elect the messiah, all based on a cutting-edge technological infrastructure to mobilize a database of 10 million youth and cell phone numbers.

Ok, so now what?

Women are, for a variety of reasons, not as career-involved in politics in the same way men tend to be, as most politicians are men. We can attribute it to sexism, the challenge of raising children (which makes Governor Palin incapable), and a host of other issues in the private and public workplace.  Yet it stands to reason that with decades of underrepresentation, populations will form their own hierarchy, hegemony, themes, slogans, and ideas...

Since time immemorial, people have had to store stuff, bundle stuff, hide stuff, preserve stuff, reference, and retrieve stuff. This is nothing new. Our minds, the best microchips yet devised, naturally ensure that things are labeled, categorized, and easily referenced. Farmers label the oak barrels by year, field, and the like. The calendar system was firstly a farming tool devised by the ancient agrarian societies to mark when to reap and when to sow; timeframes that often meant life and death. As I sit at my laptop and type this article, I save my articles in labeled root directories. My website www.TheDrakingPoint.com is based off a complex system of HTML, PHP, and CSS code, which labels and categorizes with tags and names. You would think that our nation's Constitution would clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Government, but apparently constitutional creativity rules our "Capitolistic" economy of today.

Unfortunately, as the title suggests, this is becoming a problem in the Republican Party. In college, I hated this subset, caste, or whatever you want to call them. Their blasé and self-gratifying coolness that they wore with carefully mood-selected clothing seemed to suggest that the world just doesn’t understand them and that that they are special. The pretense of unsubtle subtlety; most see through it. 

A lot to talk about!

Back when I was in Lit 1001, I heard it explained to me in a variety of ways about build-ups, climaxes, plot twists, and dénouement/resolution. But as of late, I think this election is the most bizarre we have had in…well the…history of MANKIND!!!???

Something that always annoyed me was retired mascots. Every time there are new Olympic Games here or there, advertisers bring to life a new and cutesy little mascot to embody the Olympic flame. And when the medals are won and people pack up and head home, these characters are forgotten and slink off to the file cabinets and cartoon graveyards. Election cycles are no different. Let me ask you the crux of this article: Where are the bridge metaphors of 2000?

Answering calls…it’s what I do. I am a salesman. I make at least sixty calls to various companies a day. It’s hard work. You start off as a hunter, build your clientele, and then kick your feet up as a farmer.

I am also a Republican. And no, I am not a frat boy who grunts it out of bravado, but a firm believer in the three Cs of the Western World; Christianity, Capitalism, and the Constitution.
