Life is Like A Boat

21 January 2009

For a change of pace, I thought I would post this YouTube video done by Julie.  The song on this video is called Life is Like A Boat,  sung by Japanese Pop artist Rie Fu.  I discovered this song as the ending theme from the first year of Bleach anime series.  As I watch the Bleach series via NetFlix and on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, it is my favorite Bleach song to date.  So enjoy.

If you like the music, I will guarantee that you will like reading the manga or watching anime series.  Check out the links:

Conservatism’s Dilemma – American Thinker

21 January 2009

Today at American Thinker, Larrey Anderson posts Conservatism’s Dilemma: To be or not to be in the GOP. A very interesting post about what conservatives should do in the facing GOPers caught up in Obamania.

Mr Anderson provides a list of five suggestions of what conservatives should do.  To paraphrase these five suggestions:

  1. Stop donations to the GOP in the short term.
  2. No more excuses, demand change within the GOP.
  3. No more manipulation of empty promises.
  4. New leadership now in the Congress.
  5. Take the bull by the horns and participate in the process to elect conservatives to office.

Read his post for details on each item.  I have always done number one on this list, because our GOP leaders have not delivering on their promises for last 8 years and seem to always cave on their principles.  Why should I support them when they abandon us on the issues that matter to us.

It should be interesting to see what will happen with the GOP.  But, GOP is not the only ones who should be concern, because the Democrats are in the same boat.  It is that you do not hear about it or see in our media.  It may surface in the near future, if Mr Obama and the Congress cannot deliver on their promises.
