New Home, Same Mission

We want to maximize eyeball traffic from within the ranks of those who share the values of The Conservative Soldier. So we’ve relocated our blog to its own “private label” domain.

But we are certainly not starting from scratch at the new site. We’ve moved all of the existing rants on politics, culture, sports, dining and travel over to the new home. Plus, we have recently posted a lot of new content. In this crazy political season it is tough to stand silently on the sidelines for very long.

There was incredible media coverage of Pope Benedict’s recent U.S. visit. We were actually mostly fascinated by the peculiarities of the Popemobile.

A high school band in the Chicago area canceled plans to perform in a prestigious pre-Olympic Games music festival in China this summer. Why? Parents and administrators convinced themselves the band’s members would be too vulnerable, fearing protests will escalate against indifferences by Beijing’s political brass toward human rights as the Olympic torch makes its pre-Games journey. At what point do we stop giving in to the conventional wisdom that we, and therefore our kids, should more or less be afraid of just about everything, everywhere, at all times?

And, don’t miss our examination of Barack Obama’s latest examples of political waffling. His recent behavior has been a tad unappetizing.
