Not sure how this works
Mayor Rogers, if this posts, then I will have lost my blogging virginity to you.
I look forward to your political commentary. However, I hope you will be willing to take on diverse issues and not just repeat Rush Limbaugh's latest one-liners on apple pie and motherhood. I also hope your brand of conservatism will be independent and that you won't simply propagandize for the current administration and sell the White House talking points.
I'm eager to hear discussion on "Capitalism and the sexualization of the free market" or "Flag Burning: Treason or Protected Speech" or "Wal Mart: Pawns of a new imperialist China." Perhaps even such controversial issues as whether NC State should can Sendek. In other words, more than just why liberals are the scourge of the earth.

Hey Robert: Contrary to partisan Democrat belief, us conservative Republicans do think on our own... We don't need daily talking points from Rush Limbaugh and the White House to talk about issues in the arena of ideas. I just stick to my principles and speak my conscience. :-)
Capitalism and the sexualization of the free market???!!!
What does one have to do with the other? Now Robert, you're college educated. Economics 101: marketing and capitalism are independent and mutually exclusive.
As surprised as you will be to hear it from me, the hyper-sexualization of the marketplace is an indirect result of repressive attitudes toward sexuality prevalent in the US from the 1930's through the 1960's. The direct cause is the rapid liberalization of American culture during the Johnson and Nixon Administrations. A good analogy would be the farm-boy suddenly turned loose on the streets of New York. And of course we can even more directly tie the fascination with hyper-sexuality to an increasingly liberal court system that cheapened sexuality and human life by legalizing abortion and liberalizing strictures on pornography and other so-called "adult entertainment."
The part of all this that still puzzles me is why American culture can't seem to get past the adolescent boy stage with its unhealthy addiction to all things smarmy. I blame the Democrat Party and their marketing strategy that includes pandering to every niche perversion that happens its way. With a wink and a nod, the DNC says to its target market, "You keep us in power and we'll look the other way while you endulge yourself in whatever disgusting habit you care to pursue. Heck, we'll even use our considerable powers of rhetoric to rationalize your behavior and give you social cover." Sadly, in what has become standard modus operandae for the American left, the lessons of history, specifically those of Nero Caesar and Gaius Germanicus, are being ignored and the moral rot of our society is attacking its structure. Without a course change, collapse is inevitable.
Any questions?
