A brief Introduction

     My name is Ray and yes, the name of my Blog is meant to be a double entendre. Not only do I consider myself "right" in most arguments, but politically my views are generally Right of Center. Now, I cannot progress any further without explaining the term "Right" as I live it. When someone says the term "Right Wing" it usually invokes an image of a "Bible Thumping" Conservative or a gun toting "Redneck." Although I respect all groups to live as they see fit, those images definitely do not apply to me. I identify more with groups like the Tea Party or Libertarians as I see government as a hinderance to prosperity, not the creator of it. In the words of Ronald Regan ...

         "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."


     I may be naive or old-fashioned but I still believe in a country where if everyone pulls their weight, the government creates an atmosphere that encourage business and people are willing to work hard you can still carve out a nice life for yourself.

     I believe in smaller government. I believe in limited entitlements. I believe in "real" Capitolism where companies are free to succeed or fail based on their merits, not government picking the winners.  "I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. "


      Ok, admittedly I slipped into "Bull Durham" there at the end, but you get the idea. I will post on here as often as I can to discuss topics in the news. I hope you all enjoy and I look forward to all comments. Agree or disagree its fine, just be respectful ... if the best arguement you can come up with is to name call then you probably don't have an argument at all and I don't want to hear from someone who can't even explain their position like an adult!
