Jan 23, 2009- First entry

Well, this is my first entry on my blog. I'm new to this stuff (though I've read plenty of blogs), I'm not one to really put my thoughts out there for the world to see. I figured why not.

I guess my big interest for some time now has been politics. With the last year (or more) spent watching the candidates run and now the inaguration of a new president, I can't seem to get enough information. I find myself watching Fox News when home, or listening to the radio programs/talk shows constantly.
I'd consider myself a conservative (some consider me an ultra right wing, bordering on obsessive conservative). I find the liberal left wing to be hypocritical, two-faced, and completely without a clue as to how to make things work. I know, there's a "Change we can believe in" on the horizon...well, after watching just the first few days of the new regime, I'm already dreading the next several years. Don't get me wrong, I certainly hope that BHO can make a positive difference. The key there is positive. If his change means those of us who pay the majority of the taxes end up paying even more so the majority can get even bigger handouts and not pay any taxes at all, then I hope he fails miserably. I agree that we need to make some changes and get things back on track, but what the left seems to forget is that they have had a huge hand in getting us where we are today regarding the econmy.

"Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem."
Ronald Reagan

Unfortunately, the left doesn't seem to get that. We don't need government to make more policies and give more hand outs to those who don't want to help themselves. What we need is for people to get off their butts and take some pride in actually earning a living instead of feeling they are entitled to their cut of the living/profit that hard working people make.
Less government spending, lower taxes, more incentives for small business...are only a few of the things that I believe will help. Not that the conservatives have all the answers or have done a stellar job in handling things, but I think they are closer to knowing what we should do.

In any event, I have rambled on enough for now. Time to finish watching Hanity interview Limbaugh.
Be well and God belss.
