Fred Thompson Now Blogging on Townhall.com
For real y’all, I really need a nap. But I thought before I go to dreamland I would relay this to you. As I was on the computer I had FOX & Friends as background noise. Fred Thompson was on the show and announced that he is now blogging on Townhall.com. I went to the townhall site right away to check this out. Here is his post regarding Conservative Principles.
The Place to Discuss Our Fundamental Principles Posted by: Fred Thompson at 9:59 AM Spending some time on the campaign trail has confirmed a couple of thoughts I’ve had before I entered the Republican primary race.First, conservatism is alive and well in America; don’t let anyone tell you differently. And by conservatism, I don’t mean the warmed-over “raise your hand if you believe …” kind of conservatism we see blooming every election cycle. No, I’m speaking of the conservatism grounded in principles based upon enduring truths: an understanding of the importance of human nature in the affairs of individuals and nations. Respect for the lessons of history, the importance of faith and tradition. The understanding that while man is prone to err, he is capable of great things when not subjugated by a too-powerful government. These are the principles that inspired our Founding Fathers, and resulted in a Constitution that delineated the powers of the central government, established checks and balances among the branches of government and further diffused governmental power by a system of Federalism.

I think this is great that Mr. Thompson will be speaking on conservative issues. I was very saddened by his withdrawal from the ‘08 race.

All You Need to Know About Michigan Redneck
Welcome to the home of barstool politics!
Michigan Redneck is a former Republican Loyalist, who is now a Libertarian minded chick. She loves the USA and will do all she can to keep this republic a republic. She loves Rockabilly music, clothes, decor and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, but is not a hipster. She grew up in the Flint, Michigan area and is currently living in the Upper Peninsula. She is a blue collar worker who is eligible for many gubmint handouts who refuses to sign up for these programs. She pays her bills according to which utility threatens to shut her off first. She struggles was raised that to get what she wants and needs, work for it.
Her political views lean towards Fiscal Conservative. Believes the gubmint needs to get out of the way and let the free market work. Believes both of the two main political parties need to get out of the business of social issues. In this blog I will alert readers of what is going on around them in my outside the box way. I WILL call out hypocrites, from all sides of the aisle.

I am excited that Fred is back in the public. I just wish he was not supporting a liberal like McCain.
Same here. I understand the two are friends, but still…
I agree. I just think it is regrettable when Conservatives stand by the RINO’s just because they are friends. You know that the loyalty won’t be returned. That said, I have already added his Town Hall post to my favorites section.
