This is probably key here: one thing I have enjoyed about this blog is the eclectic nature of the critique. In the current environment, that is very overwhelming. You might try limiting yourself to one or two topics per day.

I do not believe that the motto “Legalize Capitalism” strikes a chord with many–if not most–people, who have no idea at all what is meant by the term.

I think that Legalize Free Markets would be a better motto, and Legalize Liberty (or “Legalize Freedom”) would be better yet.

As Al noted: Our side needs to engage, motivate, educate, and prepare for 2010. (Out side does not equal “Republicans”, although they may be the party of choice in more places than not.) That will include a lot of steady, painful, grunt-work, keeping at it even when success looks ephemeral.

So . . . keep up the good work. Each person do his part in making corrections and stating the truth—and pointing out the mis-use of words by those seeking to control others.

As the British once said, “Trust in God and dread nought.”

This morning, I asked a question about the sexual innunedo behind the word “teabagging” (since other bloggers have noticed a sneering, locker room quality to MSM reports on the Tea Parties). To date, there have been 94 comments on that……

I agree completely! I was wondering if our “Wolf Howling” was the same Wolf Howling of the now quiet blog.

If you are he, Wolf, welcome back! The “Wolf Howling” blog used to be on my top ten list that I read every day, and I’d love to see it return!

Agreed. Either that or they’ll “go Galt”…

In any event, what I wondered was whether the lilies out there are going to vote. That is, will they become so inert that they can’t get to the polls to protect their new status as official government freeloaders? No matter how easy states try to make it, with drive-through voting and grocery store registration, there is still some minimal effort required to vote. I wonder if those who have been removed from any obligation to the government whatsoever will have the momentum to make that effort. If they don’t, that’s the only way we’ll be able to rejigger the balance so that all Americans have to participate economically in the government.

sorry i don’t do HTML stuff so I don’t know how to use Italics.
Book: what will happen is what happens in all countries that have repressive tax systems. The economy will go underground out of the reach of taxation. A black/gray market will develop.
I live with it here in Israel.
And then a “Margaret Thatcher” type politician will have to re-vamp everything in an effort to get the economy to restart.

Glad to see you here…at least it’s a sign of life!

Will you be able to get back blogging again? or is it something that will be indefinitely on hold? I notice your name doesn’t raise a url…

The problem of information overload is a real one…

I think what we’re witnessing is the result of infiltration of liberals in all sorts of influential places over the years, just waiting for the opportunity to put their solutions – or maybe that should be changes – into effect. As a result they’re “everywhere” – and that’s extremely distracting.

Different people have different interests – specialities. They no doubt frequent different blogs in line with their interests. Maybe each would offer to cover a slightly different area and email articles to you? Not just links (my weakness) but actual articles that are within their area of expertise. You could use them on certain days of the week, or just when you needed a break…

I have an idea that might help you relax for a bit and take a break.

You’ve got some great contributors here—Mike, suek, Danny, Ymarsakar, and so on (forgive me all you other fine writers who didn’t pop immediately into this old man’s head). What if they were each to take one day of the week when they are responsible for doing the blog?

Since there are security issues—I’m sure you wouldnt want people to have direct access to the innards of your site—perhaps their blogging could be in the form of an e-mailed contribution the night before or in the early morning. You could pop them in quickly before starting your madcap day.

That would give you continuity via people you trust and an opportunity to relax and only contribute when there’s a topic that really grabs you. When you’ve caught your breath again, return full-time. You’ll be both rested and reassured that whenever you do need to take a break, there are loyalists who’ve got your back.
