		<description><![CDATA[This, honestly, is such a tiny thing that it should be well beneath our notice.  We aren't arguing legislation here, we're name calling.  We aren't talking about character issues or foreign policy.  This isn't scandal most juicy.  This isn't a debate.  There's nothing at stake.  There is, in short, nothing worth mentioning.

But here we are.  This is what we choose to spend our time with.  This is how we conduct ourselves.  This is how we behave.  These are the things that are important to us and occupy our time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think by this point that it should be painfully obvious to everyone Republicans aren't conservatives and conservatives aren't Republicans.  I've been struggling lately to define what, exactly, the Republican Party is on a philosophical level – and I think I've finally settled on an answer.  The Republican Party represents an entirely different branch of conservative thought, completely different and separate from religious conservatism, fiscal conservatism, libertarianism, or any other form of conservatism that leaps to mind.  Unquestioningly, the Republican Party is an entirely different beast.  It is popular conservatism.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a friend of nature.  I am an Eagle Scout.  I am a conservationist.  I go camping.  I fish.  I bike.  I hike.  I've raised money for keeping green space in our community from being turned into strip centers and town homes.  I've built trails, reclaimed camp sites, and have planted quite literally hundreds of trees.  Above all, I look forward to passing on the greatness of the outdoors to my own children some day.  The environment is an issue that is very near and dear to my heart.  

But it is a quality of life issue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama campaigned on change. He wanted to change the way Washington works. He wanted to make a clean break from the past. He wanted to change American policy and change the way people see America itself. I would say that in these first few days in office he's done so. He's gone from the corruption of the right to the corruption of the left.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is a conservative?  It's a deceptively simple question.  Its made complicated by the long history of conservative philosophy in America, the fact that American conservatism is different from the conservatism found in other countries, the many strains of conservatism, the self-conflicting nature of trying to balance mutually exclusive aspects of our inalienable rights, and the fact that conservative minds disagree with one another all the time.  The short answer is that there is no one face of conservative ideology.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regulation.  It's like water.  Not enough and you die of thirst.  To much and you drown.  As a conservative, I naturally fall under the “less is more” umbrella but that doesn't mean I think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.  Okay, I realize people are going to disagree with me on this but hear me out on this one.]]></description>
