Combing the Sphere: Optimistic and Pessimistic Conservatism
http://combingthesphere.blogspot.com/2010/07/optimistic-and-pessimistic-conservatism.html
They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Optimistic and Pessimistic Conservatism. There are two different worldviews behind economic conservatism: an optimistic worldview and a pessimistic worldview. Interestingly, although these worldviews are diametrically opposed in their assumptions, they lead to the same conclusions about policy. Have prosperity for all, we can. Have a healthy natural environment, we can. Have enough resources for all. But. These things are only...

Combing the Sphere: NY Times on Austerity
http://combingthesphere.blogspot.com/2011/10/ny-times-on-austerity.html
They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Saturday, October 15, 2011. NY Times on Austerity. Just a little quote:. Austerity is a political ideology masquerading as an economic policy. It rests on a myth, impervious to facts, that portrays all government spending as wasteful and harmful, and unnecessary to the recovery. The real world is a lot more complicated. America has no need to repeat Mr. Cameron’s failed experiment. Posted by Daryl McCullough. Facing South (Progressive Southern Blog).

They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Thursday, March 31, 2005. In the next day or so, Terri Schiavo will pass away. I'm not sure what I can say about this that hasn't already been said. But several people have asked me what I think about it- including my mother. So here goes:. I want to take a moment and say: oh that poor girl. She is in my prayers. And I pray that we are doing the right thing. Posted by Kyle McCullough. Facing South (Progressive Southern Blog).

Combing the Sphere: Republican Hypocrisy
http://combingthesphere.blogspot.com/2010/02/republican-hypocrisy_10.html
They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Posted by Daryl McCullough. Rachel is the smartest and best comentator on the air. But Im afraid shes preaching to the choir. Undecideds have decided not to listen to here. Ironically, I think its because she makes them feel stupid for being undecided. They *should* feel stupid for being undecided, but they dont like to be told that, so instead they turn the channel. Facing South (Progressive Southern Blog).

They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Isn't it ironic. (Talkin' 'Bout Tyranny). Warning: this note is the kind of venting that I keep promising myself that I will not do on Face Book, but I keep getting sucked into. So here's the deal: I'll post this, and then I will remove it tomorrow. So if you want to make a comment, get it in while you can. There are people who are offended when other people bring up these examples. They say things like: "Get over it! Also, I...

Combing the Sphere: (Political) On the Republican Response to the State of the Union Address

They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Friday, January 29, 2010. Political) On the Republican Response to the State of the Union Address. With all due respect to my friends and loved ones who are Republican, I am at a loss when it comes to understanding how anyone can take the Republican Party seriously. Their responses to policy questions have no content whatsoever. It's a joke. Unfortunately, not everyone gets that it's a joke. State of the union. Posted by Daryl McCullough. I know....

They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Tuesday, May 03, 2011. Review of The Blind Side. Connie has been trying to get me to watch "The Blind Side" for a long time, and I've successfully resisted. I don't like football movies, and I don't like "feel good" movies. I mean, I don't want to, anyway. But I sat down and watched it with my famdamily last night and I found it very moving. Here are some random thoughts about the movie, in no particular order:. Taking a chance on a stranger:. In sp...

They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Core Truths of Conservatism. It's not that I am incapable of understanding the point of view of those who disagree with me. I believe I have a good grasp of the core truths of conservatism. I see them as the following:. Progressive taxation can discourage hard work and risk-taking. If you take from people based on how much they have earned through hard work, innovation, and risk-taking, you discourage those qualities...

Combing the Sphere: Tea Partiers: They don't know what they are mad about
http://combingthesphere.blogspot.com/2010/02/tea-partiers-they-dont-know-what-they.html
They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Sunday, February 14, 2010. Tea Partiers: They don't know what they are mad about. To give just one example, 95% of all Americans received (small) tax cuts as part of Obama's stimulus program. But among people who identify with the tea party movement, 46% believe that their taxes are unchanged, and 44% believe that their taxes have gone up. Only 2% know the truth.
