Only in the Western world can a gay man live a free life as himself. Hence, the health and strength of the West is fundamental to my survival. ~ USMale
2008 Elections
I am officially endorsing Bob Barr, the 2008 Libertarian Candidate for President. Please don't think I agree with Bob on every issue. I never look for that in any candidate because it's impossible. It simply comes down to this: my differences with Bob Barr are far more palatable than my differences with John McCain. I cannot in good conscience support John McCain nor Barack Obama. We cannot afford either the Progressive-Democrat (McCain) or the Socialist-Democrat (Obama). We only need to make it through the next four years during which we should diligently work for conservative issues, conservative candidates, and pray that God will bring us a leader for 2012. No matter who wins though, I have the utmost confidence in our country. America has suffered worse and come through shining. We'll do it again.

The only colors that matter are red, white, and blue. ~ Bobby Jindal
If Iraq is another Vietnam, 9/11 is another Kennedy assassination. Were Bali, Madrid and London also inside jobs by the Bush Gang? If so, it's no wonder federal spending's out of control. ~ Mark Steyn
No people in history have ever survived, who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. ~ Dean Acheson
If I didn't, I should have. ~ William F. Buckley (when asked if he referred to Jesse Jackson as an ignoramus)

In my opinion, powder and artillery are the most efficacious, sure, and infallible conciliatory measures we can adopt. ~ John Adams
The winner of the Democratic primary is always the candidate who does the best impersonation of an American. ~ Ann Coulter
The urge to save humanity is almost always a false face for the urge to rule it. ~ H. L. Mencken
Thinking about what you can't control only wastes energy, and creates its own enemy. ~ Worf, Star Trek - The Next Generation
But we should at least stop fooling ourselves. Jihadists are not going to be wished away, rule-of-lawed into submission, or democratized out of existence. If you really want democracy and the rule of law in places like Pakistan, you need to kill the jihadists first. Or they’ll kill you, just like, today, they killed Benazir Bhutto. ~ Andrew C. McCarthy
Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. ~ The Kneeling Christian
To regret religion is to regret Western civilization. ~ Theodore Dalrymple
Conservative speakers are constantly being physically attacked on college campuses -- including Bill Kristol, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz and me, among others. Fortunately the attackers are Democrats, so they throw like girls and generally end up with their noses bloodied by pretty college coeds. But that doesn't make it right. ~ Ann Coulter
Don't tase me bro! ~ Andrew Meyer
There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land,
But the People in their weeping, Bare the iron hand,
Beware the People weeping, When they bare the iron hand. ~ Herman Melville
Gay diversity is like the Village People. You can all wear different stupid outfits as long as you sing the same stupid song. ~ Jack Malebranche
The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe. ~ Tom Wolfe
Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening. ~ Ann Coulter
These days, the Left advances its causes more effectively through the courts than through elections, for the fairly obvious reason that very few people are dumb enough to vote for this stuff. ~ Mark Steyn
For the gay establishment, the death of right and wrong began when gaining civil rights ceased to be enough. ~ Tammy Bruce
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. ~ George Washington
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. ~ Thomas Paine
We don't thrive on military acts. We do them because we have to, and thank God we are efficient. ~ Golda Meir
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of Liberty. ~ John F. Kennedy
We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States. ~ Ann Coulter
We doubt Emma Lazarus ever thought of: Give me your tired, your poor, your Indonesians yearning to be sex slaves for Muslims in Denver. It is called the 'Statue of Liberty', isn't it? ~ Debbie Schlussel
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~ John Stuart Mill
I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days (to talk to liberals). ~ Ann Coulter
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. ~ James Madison
Fear not your enemies for they can only kill you
Fear not your friends for they can only betray you
Fear only the indifferent who permit the killers and betrayers to walk safely on earth. ~ Edmund Yashinski
We are a nation that has a government — not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed. ~ Ronald Reagan
How much longer should we allow people from certain lands, with certain beliefs to come to Britain and America and build their mosques, teach hate, and plot to kill us? Okay, let’s have the required disclaimer: Not all Muslims from the Middle East and southeast Asia want to kill us, but those who do blend in with those who don’t. Would anyone tolerate a slow spreading cancer because it wasn’t fast spreading? Probably not. You’d want it removed. ~ Cal Thomas
I am convinced, if I kill every reporter, that there'll be news from Hell before breakfast. ~ General William Tecumseh Sherman
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Remember, remember - and realise that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have. ~ Tony Parsons, British Journalist
...the aim of a large swathe of the left is not to win the debate but to get it cancelled before it starts. ~ Mark Steyn
I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
To liberals, building a wall across the Mexican border is a violation of the Voting Rights Act. ~ Ann Coulter
Two years after 'the day America changed forever,' the culture is in thrall to the same dopey self-delusion it held on Sept. 10, 2001: There are no enemies, just friends we haven't yet apologized to. ~ Mark Steyn
...the natural state of the world is Darfur. The freakish aberration is America and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world. ~ Ann Coulter
I'm just your average gay guy living in the very red state of South Carolina. Formerly an avid liberal back when the center of my universe was being gay, I gradually grew up and became more conservative throughout the 1990's calling myself a libertarian, only to be smacked in the face by reality on September 11th. I realized then that I had another closet to come out of - the conservative one. I've lost more friends since opening that door than I ever did by coming out as gay. Shattering people's perceptions of you is a messy business. The name of this blog reflects more on my political identity than my sexual orientation. Let me tell you, being conservative is considered the very definition of "queer" in the gay universe. The mainstream gay political establishment has no room for diverse opinion and will rabidly attack dissenters like wild dogs because god forbid someone define themselves without wrapping up in the rainbow flag. But I ask you this: isn't it depressing to define yourself solely by something as incidental as your sexual orientation and go so far as to allow it to affect everything from where you will live to whom you will be friends with?
