So, you're here. Welcome! If you are reading this, you belong to one of three groups.


  1. You saw the title and are looking for an opportunity to bash/ridicule a conservative

  2. You saw the title and thought "Hey! That sounds like me!" and are looking for a place to relax and kick back, safe from members of group 1.

  3. You saw the title and your curiosity dragged you in, unsure of just what to expect.

Whoever you are, and for whatever reason you're here, I welcome you again.


As you may have gathered from the title, you can expect to find a good deal of political-themed content here. But straight-up politics is not the only topic you will find here. While there will be a fair share of postings about things like Obamacare and the highly anticipated 2010 elections, look forward to discussions about many other topics of interest to conservatives like myself. These include but are not limited to controversies surrounding abortion, relgion, and gun rights. When I can't find anything relevant in these areas, it's pretty likely you'll see some of my random musings/what has gotten on my nerves today.


For today, I've got something that encompasses many of these topic areas. In my quest for a good Newsvine seed. (If you're on there, hit me up and comment, the name there is RT8 as well) I came across one of the most badass AR-15s I've seen in a while. American Rifleman ran a piece about a custom rifle in honor of gun rights advocate and former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. This all-white, custom-painted gun is a BEAST made by Templar Consulting and only two were made. One will go to Sarah, and the other will be auctioned off at the National NRA Foundation Banquet.


The custom engraving and limited production makes it a valuable collector's item, and the features don't match those of the AR that I plan to have custom built, but the caliber it is chambered for, .50 Beowulf, is the piece de resistance. I mean, when a cartridge is named after the ass-kicking protagonist of the famous Anglo-Saxon epic poem, you've got to have respect. It's creator, Alexander Arms also makes a 6.5 Grendel, named after one of Beowulf's enemies.
