		<description><![CDATA[So there you have it.  In a nut shell, the difference between communism and socialism.  In the name of the greater conservative movement, go forth and troll – but troll them with the style and grace that education brings.  The next time a liberal demands you to explain it to them, do so, and make them look like a complete and total moron.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regulatory takings are things which the government doesn't technically take from you, but which they have regulated to the point where they are of little or no value.  Naturally, this type of situation results in a large number of very pissed off people who feel that the government has quite literally stolen their property from them.  Whether their claims are true or someone's just crying wolf depends on the exact regulation and property, but the mere existence of such a loophole in our system is outrage enough.]]></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[The <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/">all-seeing-eye</a> tells me <a href=>my post about the FCC</a> is a popular one, and Calixte and Mags have both come asking me about this topic, so I figure it’s time for another installment of “Ask Janus.”  If you have a question to ask that’s remotely related to either politics, government, or something I’ve written about in the past, feel free to leave a comment, shoot me an email, or toss me an IM.

Today’s question is: “Why does Comcast get a legal monopoly in Houston and why does the FCC get to regulate them?”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my discussion on same sex marriage, someone messaged me and asked why the 14th amendment did not apply.  It is a good question, and one which I will answer in my new segment, “Ask Janus.”  If you have a question you want to ask, leave a comment, drop me an email, or send me an IM.  If the question is relevant enough, I’ll write a response to it.]]></description>
