Things that make you go: “Hmmmmmmmm….”

Thanks to Lori for pointing this one out.

Preach it Zo! Potty Politics

Zo scored another home run:

Three main topics in this vid:

• What the government and your toilet have in common
• Obama and Wanda at the Press Correspondents’ dinner
• Why Obama should fail

Warning… there’s a potty mouth in the vid. — PG-13 rating. (The “B”) word

Photography and conservative thought?

Why f-2 Conservative?

F-2.0 is an aperture setting on a camera lens. The aperture is how big of a hole in the lens – or how much light there is coming in.

Try this, go into a dark room (like your bedroom at night) – if you don’t have 20/20 vision, you may have a tough time seeing the numbers on your digital clock. Now squint (squeeze your eyelids almost completely shut)… the clock should be easier to make out now.

Eyes wide open = f-2.0 (big hole in your lens) … when your pupils are big – they let in much more light.

Squinty eyes = f-22 (little hole in your lens) … when your eyelids cover up part of the pupil and let in less light.

But, there’s a trade off… it’s called the depth of field. That is: how much of your image is in focus.

Big hole in lens = more light, but shallow depth of field. That is, more of your picture is fuzzy, and just the thing you focus on is sharp and clear.

Little hole in lens = less light, but deep depth of field. That is, more of your picture is clear and sharp… but you need a lot more light to make this photo. Squinting is cheating with your eyes to see something… like that alarm clock in a dark room. The trade off, to get the extra depth of field, and correct your out of focus eyesight, you close down the hole (f-stop) and lose all the detail.

I want to see everything around what I’m looking at, but I need to increase my knowledge base. Too much of what I see now is out of focus. So I’m going to focus with my f-2.0 conservative vision, and learn about issues one at a time. By learning and learning and learning, I hope to naturally increase the amount of conservative light that I understand, and add more and more of that light to my mental imaging of the issues. Then I can naturally increase my mental aperture (f-stop) and move from f-2.0 up through the range.

Up to now, I’ve been a reactionary thinker… listing to my favorite commentators on radio and TV and reacting to what they say. I’m changing, however, to a more investigatory thought process. I’m going from squinting to get f22 on a small bit of info … to more of an f2.0 approach… take in lots of info, and start to focus on one part to see where that leads.

Eventually I hope to get to a real f-22, not a squinty f-22. The squinty version is using an outside force of my eyelids to make  f-2.o eye see with the depth of f-22. But you loose so much of the picture, because you’re seeing in the dark by squinting. I want to bring light in, and understand why conservatism is best, and where to go to shine the conservative light back into the world.

Diamonds in the rough?

Rush said: “Pressure creates diamonds”

Here’s the pressure I see, but I wonder if we’ll find diamonds?

The Republican party is dead.

If you’re a Republican politician reading this… I’m sorry. Your party is gone. It exists in name only right now.

Why is it dead?

The progressive wing of the party, headed by the Bush family, and most recently by McCain, have turned the party of Reagan into democrat light. Too many issues that the Gipper stood for have been turned on their heads by the current “leadership” of the elephant party.

A few (R)s get it… Mark Sanford explaining that there is a point where spending our childrens’ money years before they earned it is a great example.

But… the Republican party is dead.

Will it be a phoenix, and have something rise from the ashes, or will it continue as a Democrat-Lite?

That’s the question before us now.

What the Republican party needs isn’t another Reagan. What the Republican party needs is a good housecleaning.

The deadwood needs to go, and go now.

Mr. Steele needs to do one thing right now: Pull out and dust off the Reagan mission statement and platform and ask every member of congress, every governor, every elected official with an (R) next to their name, and swear that they support that platform

or get the hell out of our party.

Then, Steele needs to start publishing lists of recent votes by said legislators who voted against those principles.

Those folks need to be told: this is your last term. Help us pick your successor, or cross the aisle like Spectre. Get with the program, or get the hell out of Mr. Reagan’s party.

Mr. McCain, it’s time for YOU to make that decision. And every other “progressive republican” out there.
