NIetzsche is Dead. Long Live the Western Hero!

Please update your bookmarks to Western Hero!

I'm happy to roll out a new blog with a new name and new look but with the same unhinged rants and opinionated blather readers have come to expect.
WHY?
I love God and I love the good ol' US of A, so why have a blog named after an obscure, incomprehensible God-hating continental philosopher?

It's time to go positive and consolidate my blog name and URL all at the same time.

Thanks to Andrew33 over at Kook's Manifesto for the advice!

Democrats Living in the Past


Healthcare Worthy of A Communist Politburo

Daniel Henninger observes that the Democratic party, although led by a hip young rock star, is looking oh so last century:
In a world defined by nearly 100,000 iPhone apps, a world of seemingly limitless, self-defined choice, the Democrats are pushing the biggest, fattest, one-size-fits all legislation since 1965.

And they brag this will complete the dream Franklin D. Roosevelt had in 1939.

The culture still believes the U.S. has a hipster for president. But the Obama health-care bill, and maybe this whole administration, is starting to look totally out of sync with the new zeitgeist, the spirit of the age.
Precisely.  In this age of hyper-choice, where we are free to redefine ourselves daily and videos go viral on the internet, the Democratic Politburo is imposing the largest, most expensive, all-encompassing, smother-everything program since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
