One thing that my readers will become aware of quickly is that I will not cite stories in the associated press and the main stream media very often outside of criticism. This blog will be a reflection of the world how I see it. You will read, here, experiences that I have in my own life as an American citizen. Personally, I see the associated press as a repeating things that they have been told, or things that they hear. They have given up on real, original journalism.
Now, I’m not claiming to be a real, original journalist, nor will I attempt to claim that I am unbiased; another thing my readers will become quickly aware of is that I am very conservative. I believe in conservative values and principals, and am not afraid to argue on behalf of them. I’m still new to this site and I plan to make it my first priority to get comments set up the way that I like so that you will have a chance to comment on my blogs (whether that be to praise or criticize), and yet still retain the ability to weed out non-constructive, unintelligent spam. For example, one thing I will not accept is if someone posts a comment calling me a racist, and the only evidence they are able to cite is either that I am a white republican, or that I disagree with Obama. However, if you believe that something I have said is “racist” then I would be more than happy to debate you to prove that I am right and you are wrong. This is one of the first things I’d like to do, but please be patient, I’m still new at this.
Let’s get this out of the way now, because, I’m sure that some opponents of what I have to say will try to prove the illegitimacy of what I have to say based on the fact that I listen to Rush Limbaugh. Yes, I do listen to Rush, but as some of you may be able to pick up as you read my posts, I am not some zombie only capable of repeating what I hear on his show. Yes, you will hear me every now and then say some of the same things that he has said, or reference his show, but I make my own points and opinions. I live my own life, and my own experiences trump what I hear on ANY show, whether it be talk radio or on television.
Mostly I will be talking about things that I care about; it’s my blog. But that doesn’t mean that I am not open for discussion on other topics. If there is something you think is important that I haven’t touched on, and you think I should, or if you just want to know what I think about something. By all means, let me know. The biggest reason why I am here even doing this is to get the word out, and convince as many people as possible to think the way I do. And don’t kid yourself, anyone that argues has that as their main objective; just thought I’d get that out of the way too.
My ultimate goal here is to make this a place for everyone to converge and make their opinions known, whether they agree with me or not. Everyone has a right to their opinion and everyone has the right to make it known. Every day it gets easier to do that with advances in technology. I want this blog to be a place where everyone can feel welcome, and join in their equal opportunity to speak out for what they believe in. Just always remember, putting your opinion in a public forum such as this opens it up for criticism and scrutiny, so be prepared for it.
I am looking forward to discovering all my options here at this blog site to further open this up to my readers and allow you to have more ways to interact with other readers and myself. So let’s get started and see how this goes.
