Analyzing Mike Pence’s First TV Ad

Published on 2012-05-20 12:40:17

For those of you who are living in Canada or on Mars until sanity returns to our conservative party, Mike Pence is abandoning his seat in the US House of Representatives to become the next Governor of Indiana.  The General Election is really just a formality, but the Pence campaign is still looking like they’re [...] > read more

Intellectual Honesty Missing In Today’s Debate

Published on 2012-05-19 01:46:16

When I first became a Republican in 2000, I believed that Republicans were simply better than Democrats.  I believed that Republicans held themselves up to higher moral, ethical, and intellectual standards than did Democrats.  Over the past 12 years, I’ve been proven horribly wrong. Even though I’m still a Republican and a conservative doesn’t mean [...] > read more

Democrats Already Spending Big Money To Win Indiana Senate Seat

Published on 2012-05-11 19:30:25

I opened up my website today and take a look at what I saw for one of my things Google won’t let me tell you what they are. That didn’t take long at all, did it?  For the past several months, I’ve been ranting and raving that it Richard Mourdock wins the Republican nomination for [...] > read more

Nazis, Planned Parenthood, and A Pro-Life Double Standard

Published on 2012-05-05 11:53:28

Last week, Krista and I were invited to a Right-to-Life Banquet in neighboring Lake County.  As most of you know, I’m incredibly pro-life; and you’ll be happy to know that the future Mrs. KTracy feels as strongly about this issue as I do.  So before you read any further, keep those facts in mind as [...] > read more

KLOUT: Mitt Romney Influential About Flip-Flops (fashion)

Published on 2012-04-29 09:35:27

I got a good laugh this morning.  After checking my Klout Score for today (50), I took a gander at Mitt Romney (84). Klout is a really neat service by the way, you should sign up if you haven’t already. Anyway, Klout allows users to tell them who influences them and what they influence them [...] > read more

In Defense of the US Justice Department and the Bank Secrecy Act

Published on 2012-04-28 03:37:37

I got an e-mail from Liberty.com (a.k.a. Tea Party Command) – a group I never heard of nor ever gave my e-mail address to – and read of a couple of examples of the US Department of Justice cracking down on farmers who were depositing less than $10,000 into their bank when they actually earned [...] > read more

What TEA Party? Romney’s Nomination Forces the Question

Published on 2012-04-24 21:51:46

Mitt Romney secured the Republican nomination tonight.  If there was any chance for Newt Gingrich to come back in this thing and knock out Mitt Romney, he needed to win (anywhere) tonight, and he failed.  Don’t get me wrong, I would have loved for Newt to pull off the greatest political miracle in the history [...] > read more

Running for State Delegate

Published on 2012-04-23 18:07:26

Okay, you may remember me saying that I was swearing off politics a while ago. Forget I said that. I’m running for Delegate to the Indiana Republican Convention in my local Westchester township.   This is actually pretty freaking important, so even if you don’t live in Westchester Township, take a moment and read what [...] > read more

Does everything seem FUBAR?

Published on 2012-04-20 21:49:57

Well, things were going too well with the completion of the MSPaint Comic last week.  Somebody really managed to jack-up my FTP and WordPress installation.   Yes, I’m pissed about it. No, I don’t know who did it.  BUT, if you want to play “connect the dots,” traffic was surging to my post about the [...] > read more

I’m Not Selling Out, I’m Not Backing Romney

Published on 2012-04-14 15:05:07

For the past few years, I have been on tirade after tirade arguing that it’s a mistake to vote against someone, we should only vote FOR someone. In general, I think the American people tend to follow this principle. It’s when we enter into the realm of political activism that this principle (like many others) [...] > read more

Veteran Unemployment and PTSD

Published on 2012-04-02 16:00:01

After graduating college with a 4.0 GPA, I thought finding a job was going to be pretty easy. I mean, not to sound conceited but my resume freakin’ ROCKED! Here I am, graduating with a Purdue degree, government and private sector experience, and I’m a United States Air Force veteran. Not just any veteran, mind [...] > read more

Is It Newt Gingrich’s Time To Get Out?

Published on 2012-03-25 00:33:43

I really don’t enjoy saying this; but it’s over for you, Speaker Gingrich.  After loosing Alabama, Mississippi, and now Louisiana; it is more apparent than ever that Newt Gingrich will not be our next GOP Presidential Candidate.  Don’t get me wrong, I think Gingrich would have been a great candidate to take on President Obama.

Mitt Romney: Worse Than McCain?

Published on 2012-03-17 16:22:02

First of all, if you don’t know, I’ve recently bought my first home and finding the time to write a blog post is very difficult when there’s painting, moving, unpacking, framing, hanging, shopping, and yard work to be done.  It’s even more difficult when you don’t have vacation time to get it all done in.

Santorum takes in over 100,000 donations in February alone!

Published on 2012-02-27 17:53:23

The Rick Santorum campaign just sent an e-mail out to all of its supporters announcing that they’ve reached over 100,000 donations in the month of February. That monthly total is higher than any other Republican for any month of the campaign cycle. Coincidentally, it’s getting close to Barack Obama, who has a monthly average of [...] > read more

Why is Ron Paul working with Mitt Romney?

Published on 2012-02-26 22:54:36

Okay, I’m not even going to bother making the case that Ron Paul is working with the Romney campaign to discredit the two conservative candidates in this race (Gingrich and Santorum) in order to help guarantee a Mitt Romney candidacy.  That argument is laid out very well by Warner Todd Hudson over at Right Pundits and [...] > read more

What Mitt Romney Doesn’t Want You To Know About Rick Santorum

Published on 2012-02-26 01:53:34

Ever since the 2012 campaign got started in 2011, Mitt Romney’s ONLY talking point is that he’s the only candidate that can beat Obama. Why is this? Not because he has a rock solid platform. Not because he was a freaking awesome governor of Massachusetts (he wasn’t). Not that he has nicer hair. Mitt Romney’s [...] > read more

Distractions!

Published on 2012-02-24 08:20:40

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve not been writing that often. I thought I might as well tell you my excuses. First, and most importantly, I’m close to finishing the line work on Volume I of the MSPaint Comic. Finishing what’s left of the coloring and backgrounding won’t take too much longer. After that, an [...] > read more

Shaving My Head For A Cure

Published on 2012-02-23 04:29:55

It’s official! I’ll once again be attending the St. Baldrick’s Foundation event in Valparaiso, IN. Because last year’s event probably broke city fire codes, the organizers decided to move the event from their barber shop to the campus of Valparaiso University. The event starts on Friday, March 30th at 11am; but the fundraising starts now! [...] > read more

Unions: The Original Neocons – What Will Their Role Be In The 21st Century?

Published on 2012-02-13 08:27:36

The term neocon is thrown around loosely nowadays thanks to some idiot anarchists pretending to be Republicans and conservatives. Have you ever wondered about the origins of that term, though? You might be interested to learn that “neo-conservative” is actually a word that has its origins in communism. It actually referred to unions and American [...] > read more

Why I’m Backing Rick Santorum

Published on 2012-02-08 08:26:04

I had no intention of endorsing a candidate until we had one conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, but I felt compelled to back Rick Santorum after the events of the last couple of weeks unfolded. In particular, the Obama administration demanding the Catholic Church’s many charities and hospitals provide access to abortions and contraceptives for [...] > read more

Mitt Romney is a guarantee Barack Obama will be re-elected

Published on 2012-02-06 10:18:25

… and for the same reason John McCain lost the 2008 presidential election the moment he secured the nomination. Look at the exit polls and see what the number one reason is that a Republican primary voter or caucus goer votes for Mitt Romney. The answer: Can Defeat Barack Obama. Why do they say he [...] > read more

Is Privatization Really All It’s Cracked Up To Be? Health Insurance

Published on 2012-02-01 22:33:43

This is the first of a series of posts I’m going to write about the topic of privatization. Nobody is going to like what I have to write. I’ll be accused of betraying the Republican Party, conservative principles, and everything else under the sun. Perhaps somebody along the way will skip the name calling and [...] > read more

St. Baldrick’s 2012 Fundraiser

Published on 2012-01-26 23:35:25

Last year in March, I put myself out there and shaved my head to raise money for a really awesome charity: The St. Baldrick’s Foundation. If you weren’t following me then, or if you just need a reminder; St. Baldrick’s Foundation is devoted to finding a cure for Childhood Cancers and helping the thousands of [...] > read more

Does human equality stop at the water’s edge?

Published on 2012-01-25 17:11:43

Here in the United States, we are all familiar with the phrase that “all men are created equal.” Thomas Jefferson first used the phrase in our Declaration of Independence and it’s been repeated countless times and across the world. Unfortunately, it seems like few people actually think about the implications this would have for global [...] > read more

Contrasting Gingrich and Santorum

Published on 2012-01-20 22:42:22

Last night’s Republican Presidential debate in South Carolina was kind of low key, as we discussed. However, I think it may have been one of the most important of the entire primary season. Up until now, conservative Republicans have wanted to know who their alternative to Mitt Romney was. It was very hard for a [...] > read more

Thank you, Rick Perry

Published on 2012-01-19 17:00:37

I never would have voted for Rick Perry in the first place, but that’s besides the point. I said the other day that whoever loves their country the most will be the one who drops out of the race first and endorses another conservative BEFORE South Carolina (justifying it with a King Solomon’s Judgment analogy).

Stop SOPA/PIPA Legislation

Published on 2012-01-18 08:27:31

On January 24th, Congress will be voting on two very controversial bills, SOPA and PIPA. Well, perhaps “controversial” isn’t the right word. You see, there aren’t that many people who are actually in favor of this legislation. The exceptions are in the music industry; which has funded this entire effort. The coalition that opposes this [...] > read more
