Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

Houston Fergus, we have a problem.  Actually, I don’t, but given how you have described and maligned the TEA Party movement as "the Fringe" to be ignored and ridiculed, you might decide to just "think" about an exploratory run. And then leave it at that.  But maybe, you’ll at least have a new monniker! Why?  …

More on “Elites”

As a follow on to my negative post on Elites, I found that Don Boudreaux over at Cafe Heyak has a similar viewpoint (emphasis mine): The “Progressive” mindset ignores modern-society’s extraordinary complexity.  It’s oblivious to the full, vast range of inescapable trade-offs and unintended consequences unleashed by human actions.  Convinced that the only forces keeping …

Climate Scientists – a hysterically funny bunch?

CPAs are often portrayed as little men sitting at high accounting desks (think Scrooge) with green eyeshades and black bands around their arms – and not funny.  Sometimes, scientists are right up there (down?) with having no sense of humor either.  Stereotypical, to be sure. However, sometimes it is warranted; Steven Haywood has the unamusing …
