Welcome to Polideo!

Polideo is a blog that I've wanted to do for a while, but I've never made it a priority until now.  My blog posts will consist of an interesting political or news video accompanied by my commentary.  

Who am I?  

I'm a conservative who supports the Republican, Libertarian and Constitutionist parties and their ideals.  I believe in a small government that acts in a socially responsible way and traditional american values.  I believe the voice of the left has been hijacked by Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Al Franken, George Clooney and other close minded individuals who want to dramatically increase the size of government while eroding our core values.  Their beliefs are best summarized by Obama's campaign slogan; "Hope and Change".  It sounds good, but there's no substance behind.  To me "Hope" is just some airy word used to appeal to people who are heavy on idealism and light on practicality.  The word that scares me is "Change".  During the election, people latched onto this word thinking that it meant change from an unpopular former administration or change from past racism.  To the left though, change meant changing our country from a industrious bastion for democracy to a dependant and overtaxed nanny state. 

 When I comment on videos (which may not all be regarding politics) I want my reader to know where I come from and to take them with a grain of salt.  If proven wrong, I'm not too proud to recant so feel free to comment if you disagree.  Other than that, I hope you enjoy my blog!
