360 Blog, Decision 08 and Other Stuff....

Welcome back and thanks for visiting.

If you are regular visitor, you have undoubtedly noticed some subtle changes over the last few weeks with this blog - additional contributors, some layout additions, etc. I'm not for a total revamping of a good thing, but a few touches and less extreme makeovers are always beneficial.

My thanks to Will, Lisa and Michelle for their contributions. The four of us are focused on bringing not just valuable headlines, but insights and stories you won't find elsewhere on the web. A new mission statement should be released in a few days.

So we Americans have now elected our 44th President. I stated earlier that Obama's election was an indictment of the policies and conduct of the last four years, but it was far from a mandate toward a left of center approach to policies that the Liberal left holds so dear. In other words, despite some Americans push toward anarchy, Marxism and Socialism, these angry Liberal whack-jobs are still very much in the minority - but worth a close watching over. Conservatives, Traditionals and Consitutionalists are far from running for cover or heading into excile.

Despite our vast differences, perhaps we can forge a new America based on good values. We are Americans first, and therefore I wish the Obama administration health and happiness. It's even possible to wish them success - for our sake as a nation - so long as it is in keeping with the best traditions of American liberty, virtue and prosperity. As this blog always does with each and every elected official no matter their party, we will be positive and hopeful, but will watch closely and carefully and you can bank on commenting accordingly. I'm all for looking after one another but I'm not for spreading the wealth. Being our brother and sister's keeper should never include charity that rewards the crooked, deceitful or lazy.

We're taking a few days break, but back on Saturday to start back up with the latest stories and comment - there is MUCH to talk about. Take care all, and thanks for reading, for sending your emails/comments and most of all, your visits.

God Bless!
