Shame On Me.

 Sometimes I get so worked-up, I can’t stand to blog anymore. There are just too many things to rant about, and not enough time (or patience) to sort my thoughts out and mold them into something coherent… BUT thanks to a nameless Liberal somewhere, I have returned from my hiatus to blog some more. They have inspired me to the point where I must break my silence. I went online today and saw a headline that “popped” on my MSN homepage. It said “No, the surge is not a success.” Well, needless to say my BS detector started sounding the alarm, and I had to click on the link and take a peek at the train wreck. NOW, I am not going to rip on Michael Kinsley for his views expressed in the article, that is a blog for another time. I find it rediculously obvious that this article appears the day after the Associated Press releases this: “John McCain said Monday that to win the White House he must convince a war-weary country that U.S. policy in Iraq is succeeding. If he can’t, “then I lose. I lose,” the Republican said.”  I immediately thought that the article on the surge was written as nothing more than a back-handed swipe at Mccain’s presidential bid, and I wanted the author to be called out on it! However, upon digging a little deeper I found out that he wrote the article BEFORE McCain made those comments. I do however find it curious that MSN has a link to the article on their hompage… hmmm…some nameless Liberal somewhere felt it was important I see that…

I think McCain has tons of flaws, and as I have made clear in previous posts I am not some brainwashed Republican mouthpiece, BUT the alternative (Liberalism (the new socialism)/Clinton/Obama) is absolutely frightening to me. So here I am, back to blogging if not for the sole purpose of placating my guilty conscience.  I have been sitting back and watching my country fall apart without making some attempt, however small, to do something about it. Shame on me.
