Yes folks, you heard it here first. I, in answer to my abundance of free time, have started a blog. It makes no claims to quality, nor to accuracy, but it is at the very least a record of my more lengthy lucubrations and contemplations.

Its aim is to provide some sort of rudimentary platform for libertarian/conservative/Constitutional/Austrian thought, though we shall see whether or not I can accomplish this effectively.

I have a whopping 3 posts as of today, and I would appreciate any feedback/insults you all could give.

^^I wanted to do this for a long time, now's the perfect time.

Work on the theme (have some political colors rather than blue) and build up links so you can get more traffic. Nice blog. :)

Nice blog, Ian. I especially enjoyed the video with Dr. Paul being interviewed on FOX Business Channel.

F*** Yongrel.

Ok, I always wanted to say that.

Nice blog. You should get guest bloggers. Like Adam Kokesh and Menthol Patch.

When you say political colors, what do you mean?

A color scheme that incorporates red, blue and white color. These forums have a nice design that appeals to politics/philosophy/law/government/etc. http://www.campaignforliberty.com/ also has a nice color scheme. It looks very strong and vibrant (full of energy).

But then again, it's a matter of preference. I just didn't like that baby blue color. :p

Ah, ok, I know what ya mean. I was aiming for more muted colors in the "Red, White, & Blue" palette, largely because of my distaste for loud colors and louder websites.

If I can figure out how to play with the colors, I'll see if I can find something more attractive.

1. Interesting news, thought and opinion.

2. A free turkey.

Pleasing enough to the eye. I wouldn't expect anymore hits from me though. I think anyone who claims to of researched 9/11 and still thinks Osama Bin Laden did it is an idiot and I got better things to do than read the ramblings of an idiot. I'm like that ya know ;).

Is that the secret to making truthers fuck off? It's too bad Ron Paul didn't know about that technique last year.

I think that it's great we have the 9/11 truthers on our side. They're really active and didn't mind that Ron himself wasn't a truther.

“At least he’s not a warmonger!”

Seriously? They think Obama being a socialist is better than McCain being a warmonger. Maybe it is, but it still sucks.

What's with these people?

I agree. Obama is a lesser evil because he claims to be better in foreign policy. Remember Ron always said that the first priority is our foreign policy and changing that. Then can we only fix domestic policy.
