	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[By this time in 2000, it had become clear that the two-way race for the Republican nomination between then-Gov. George W. Bush (R-TX) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was pretty much settled; Bush was going to be the nominee. Likewise in 2008, the three-way primary race between McCain, former-Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), and former-Gov. Mike [...]]]></description>

But as a web site operator, even of a dinky little blog like this one, these bills stand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On February 27, 1933, Marinus Van der Lubbe—an unemployed bricklayer from the Netherlands with Communist sympathies—set fire to the Reichstag (Parliament) Building in Berlin. Most likely, Van der Lubbe was working alone…but that didn&#8217;t stop Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party cabinet from using the fire as an excuse to initiate a broad anti-Communist pogrom.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the Federal Reserve and several of its foreign counterparts announced a plan to increase &#8216;liquidity&#8217; and ease the &#8216;global credit crunch.&#8217; This is in response to European banks&#8217; increasing difficulty in raising money for their day-to-day operations. So what&#8217;s going on is a kind of foreign-relations equivalent of the Fed&#8217;s &#8216;quantitative easing&#8217; domestic money-printing [...]]]></description>

Although U.S. officials initially reported that the Pakistani intelligence services were instrumental in finding bin Laden, there are many open questions still remaining about Pakistan&#8217;s complicity in protecting bin Laden during the years he was hiding in their [...]]]></description>

Thankfully, in most recent cases it has ruled correctly—though often by a depressingly narrow 5-4 margin. Here is a review of how the Supreme Court has ruled on three [...]]]></description>

For the whole story you should head over there and read it, but the short version is that Obama is a natural born U.S. citizen (and thus eligible to be President), he isn&#8217;t a Muslim (unless [...]]]></description>

Few political subjects incite the kind of vitriolic rage that the Iraq war did during President George W. Bush&#8217;s (R) presidency, and many of the popular &#8216;facts&#8217; about the war that [...]]]></description>

No. It is possible that Obama is accelerating our national destruction, but he is doing so with failed Keynesian economic policies and his own apparent lack of historical knowledge.
