Why? I steer deliberately away from dystopia, and I aim unashamedly for happy endings. I believe in the triumph of good people engaged in worthy tasks. I'd love to be a part of it in the Real.(less)

“A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.”

G. Michael Hopf
“...We don't defeat our enemy by giving him a platform to spread the very propaganda they hope will defeat you... You can only have freedom and liberty when others want that for you. When the other side only uses freedom with the hopes of destroying it later once their in charge, it's time to shut them down... They will use our Constitution as long as they need to until they get the power, then watch them trash it.”
