Yesterday Dennis Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against President George H. W. Bush. I wish I could say I was surprised or that this was some how beyond the pale, but let’s face it: in this day an age this kind of thing is par for the course.

My political identity has had a strange ride. Along the way I have slowly come to realize that no party truly represents my beliefs. But what are the beliefs of a secular conservative?

I’m the first person to advocate lower taxes. My single biggest problem with the Democrats is the redistribution of wealth socialist mentality that pervades that party. Lower taxes means more economic freedom. Less government involvement means more competition. Both are vitally important to a healthy capitalist system – and let’s make no bones about it, capitalism is a guiding principle of our way of life.

But the economic stimulus checks dolled out by the President are nothing less than the bastard poster children for government waste.
