Thadius's Introduction

My name is Thadius Main. I'm 15 years old, I love money, I'm a fan of Ayn Rand and Ronald Reagan, a Conservative-Libertarian (many of my personal beliefs would fall under conservative, but I'm politically a Libertarian), and now a writer for this blog. I've been a political writer for a better portion of my life, writing right-wing editorials for school newspapers since I was a kid. My articles, while they are harsh and critical, are also very well thought out, informative, and give a new but logical view on the topic. I hope the readers will find my contributions to be of value. 

Dustin's Introduction

Hello all, I am a recent addition to this blog. My name is Dustin, as you can see. I was born, raised, and still reside in the small town of Albemarle, North Carolina. I am a college student transfering to UNCC sometime next year as a political science major. I work an average of 56 hours a week and go to school another 12, so I don't have much free time. My political views are libertarian and I believe in the Constitution. I'm aware at 20 I may be younger than most people on here, but I hope you find my post well thought out and informative. I look foreward to reading and learning from everyone elses blogs.

Infoman's Introduction

Greetings all! I am recent addition to this blog. The founder of this blog so impressed me with his views and his site that I asked to be a part of it. As the title says, this is my introduction. I was born in 1958, the product of a long line of Conservative thinkers stretching back to the days of the American Revolution. My Father's family emigrated from Germany prior to the Revolution and migrated west and south. His branch of the family settled in Kansas, where I was born. Mother's family was from Ireland and came here during the great Potato famine. I hope to bring you opinions that you find well thought out and incisive. I welcome detractors as they are the best source for refining my views.Hey Chief, thanks again. I hope I don't disappoint you.Ok, down to business. 

The news has reported the recent shootings in New York. An Associated Press story says nearly every gunman in this month long series of mass killings was legally entitled to fire his weapons...What? I don't recall any law that allows anyone to "fire his weapons" in the commission of a crime! The U.S. Supreme Court has finally affirmed we have the right to keep and bear our arms but I don't recall anything they said gives anyone the right to go shooting with intent to murder people! This is exactly the kind of sloppy reporting that fuels mindless arguments in support of more useless and ineffective gun laws!

It turns out a State Police informant reported in nineteen-ninetyseven that Jiverly Wong was planning a bank heist to feed a Cocaine habit. Wong's Broome County permit was a year from expiration and did not have to be renewed. Despite local authorities having broad discretion in reviewing permits in regards to drug use, criminal behavior or violence, Wong's permit was renewed.Binghamton police chief Joseph Zikuski said Tuesday that no robbery occurred and there was no merit to review Wong's gun permit. 

Apparently Wong's reputed drug habit alledged to by a State Police informant wasn't enough cause for concern...Here's my point. Tragedy and evil acts occur. They are a part of life and thus, unavoidable. Chief Zikuski is no less responsible for Wong's act by ignoring a report that indicated a drug problem than Wong shooting those people. It proves once again that the problem isn't a lack of laws but a lack of enforcement, or in this case a lack of available preventive measures.

First Post

I don't want to jump into the issues right away. Instead, I would like to sort of orient you as to what this blog is about and what to expect. I realize that I sorta did that on the right, but there are a few more things which I'd like to say and expand on, that I felt would be too long for some small right-hand spot.

First of all, I would like to welcome you again to Blog of our Fathers aka "BOOF". You are probably aware by now, what this blog is going to be about. But as far as what to expect, you can rely on a clear and simple explanation, of whatever issue is spoken about here. Second, not everyone is big on politics and cultural issues, so things will be approached in a very simple, clear-cut manner. That way everyone can understand what's going on. 

There's a lot of complication in politics, so we'll just take everything one step at a time, and we'll try to give a clear and understandable viewpoint, in as simple and few words as possible. Third, I would like to introduce myself. I'm "Pluto". Pluto is a pen-name I've made for myself for the sake of net security. Currently I'm the only one running the blog, but soon I hope to bring in a few other writers as well. 

And finally, in case you still do not know what this blog is about: we (future "we") advocate Individual Liberty, Capitalism, Small Government, and the American way. We believe in the country our Fathers founded, and thus the name Blog of our Fathers. We oppose the current big oppressive Government, who strives to take away our rights and freedoms daily, and we oppose the numerous false choices politicians give us. We also oppose the media's attempts to define who we as individuals are, and their monstrous work of trying to wipe away our strong traditional moral fiber. A moral fiber that we have always had, and have always championed. 

So not only will this blog be about political issues, it will also be filled with entertainment reviews that pertain to, and effect, our American way. Personally, I am a Libertarian and I'm a Conservative one at that. But there will be other writers on this blog who are not Libertarians. While their beliefs and mine are the same, they have chosen to associate themselves with different parties and alliances. You have my personal guarantee though, that no matter what their political affiliation, they advocate the principles I've laid forth in this post. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site.
