The Voice of Independence
This blog is wholly my responsibility. If I cite or copy a link to an article otherwise copyright protected but disemminated on the internet I will attribute accordingly. The content will be a combination of my reflections and a redux of sources I tend to investigate in pursuit of the truth. I hope this blog inspires people to get active in their local political scene no matter what party.
I consider myself a conservative. I believe in limited government, the sanctity of life and marriage, lower taxes, real borders, english as the official language, world class schools, and the American Dream. I'm a republican. I campaign for endorsed republicans. I managed three campaigns for my nephew. Tom is a 3rd term MN House member. I served on the Executive Committee of the Wright County Republican BPOU. I'm a MNGOP State Central Committee Delegate.
In a litigious world one might ask why anyone in their right mind would bother to write regularly in the blogosphere. It's the same reason I started a political newspaper July 4, 2005 under the same title: The Wright County Republican. No one pays me for this blog. The expense of the newspaper always outweighs the income. Among other pursuits, I support Minnesota Majority, a non-partisan, non-profit issue advocacy group focused on traditional values in public policy. I also volunteer time and content for GlobalClimateScam.com, HealthReformScam.com, NoCapAndTrade.com, etc.
News is either reported or it is not. Generations past were able to rely on newspapers and broadcast media to exercise objectivity across a whole spectrum of activities in our world, and report on them accordingly. I became frustrated with the established media in Minnesota because I felt they too often opted not to report items of interest to conservatives. The news media attachment to political correctness has served to disconnect them from their duty to cover the news as opposed to creating and managing the news.
Somehow the truth gets watered down in much of what we call journalism today. I would like to change that. Hence, I write.
I don't claim to have all the answers. But I sincerely believe that good writing can help us all to make up our minds for ourselves. The collision of ideas is key to the preservation of our freedoms. I welcome criticism.

Nice job Rep. Emmer. Sincerely!
But, the body language relating to the other participants is very telling.
The question, which remains is, do Minnesotans have the guts of Rep. Tom Emmer, and call this one like it truly is - without begging the sidetracking distraction of the ludicrous - but all too familiar - debate as to "the definition of is"?
I doubt it.
Thanks to Rep. Emmer. Integrity stands out around here, like the proverbial sore thumb. Any wonder why?
