Pro Patria
A sometimes logical view of local and national politics, world events, news and whatever else seems interesting... And all without that pesky politically correct twist

Cigar Tax Alert
2007-10-06 00:28:52
Straight from my email box to you. Bear in mind, the SCHIP program is not what you think it is. For the love of all things sacred, don’t let the dems or RINOs use kids to leverage this sort of insult against the American People. This is an assault against all of us and [...] ...

To hell with the little guy, it’s time to root for the big guy
2007-10-05 15:43:53
Today we are celebrating a victory for the big guy. Of course, this may sound counterintuitive; after all, according to popular opinion aren’t we supposed to be rooting for the little guy while trying to take the big guy down?
Not if you ask me. I’m tired of the little guy sticking it to the big [...] ...

Are we really in a funk? According the media we are.
2007-10-04 18:26:47
Have most Americans really fallen prey to the media machine? More and more we believe what we are told instead of what we see or live, and since the media is far from objective or even-keeled, we’re beginning to see a false sense of despair creep out across the landscape.
According to the Star Tribune, a [...] ...

Site Update and the State of Things
2007-10-03 18:16:45
It’s been a while since I did an update here… In fact, I don’t rightly know if I have ever given an official update.
Anyway, strange things are afoot over here at Arclight Enterprises. When I started this thing back in the end of February I wondered if I would be able to make a go [...] ...

The Freedom Quandary
2007-10-03 01:43:57
As some of you may or may not have noticed, I recently added the “Blogging for Life” widget over on my side bar. While I have tried to stay moderately neutral on such controversial and subjective topics, I have decided that it is time to be up front and bold about these things as [...] ...

To be a nutjob, or not to be a nutjob. That is the question…
2007-10-01 18:47:04
Well, it’s finally happened. I have been identified as a Conservative whack job. Actually, more specifically I have been referred to as a “Konservative wack-job” (read the whole comment here) which made me grin a bit, as it always seems that the liberals out there like to be special and use special words and special [...] ...

A Big Mistake
2007-09-29 16:23:10
I have, for the most part, stayed out of the affairs of The Stillwater Infidel. Drew Emmer and Pheisty have done a far better job of addressing the issue than I could have, so I simply thought it best to leave the topic in their capable hands. I have simply watched from a distance and [...] ...

Arclight’s Movie Corner
2007-09-29 15:06:09
Ok, so this is a new thing for me, but in light of an impending weekend full of cool weather and thunderstorms, I thought I would make a movie suggestion for the enlightened masses (i.e. most of my fine readers and friends).
Anyway, I present here the best movie you have never heard of: Idiocracy. I [...] ...

Carbon Offset THIS
2007-09-28 02:54:35
Well, I guess I can add Volkswagen to my list of companies to scorn. Not that this is a big surprise by any means, but they’ve gone and made it official by emailing me about their Carbon Neutral Project and encouraging me to go to carbonfund.org and offset my own vehicle. Oh boo.
The blurb about [...] ...

Globalization Part 2
2007-09-27 04:48:50
So, much to my surprise, my recent post on the realities of economic globalization was a recent topic over at “Conservative Compendium.” You can check out their post here.
While I am thrilled to be getting attention from other conservative sources, I am less than thrilled to be picked apart. But since I am nothing if [...] ...

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em… Minnesota gets set to go smoke free
2007-09-26 23:00:26
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
Not just a catch phrase any more, one of my favorite lines is becoming a sad reality for the folks of Minnesota very shortly. In fact, you’ve only got until Monday to enjoy a smoke at your favorite bar or club. After that it’s out in the cold with you.
Of [...] ...

Revisiting Altruism
2007-09-26 02:11:08
Altruism (n) Selflessness, an attitude or way of behaving marked by unselfish concern for the welfare of others.
I don’t often fancy myself as being a bad person. I don’t know if I would say that I am a good person, but for the most part I know that I am not bad. I mean, I [...] ...

Arrested Development
2007-09-25 02:06:55
In light of the recent fiasco at Columbia over Iran’s swell president coming to speak to the academic elite as well as Pinkeye’s wonderful post on the “Taser This… FUCK BUSH” editorial, I thought I would take on the local academic brain trust and the most recent embarrassment that they have subjected the fine [...] ...

Boo on Wal-Mart
2007-09-24 03:49:16
Ok, so I have never claimed to be the biggest Wal-Mart fan out there, however living where I do it’s either shop at Wal-Mart up the road or drive 30+ miles to the nearest Target. However, I have always taken at least some comfort in the thought that Wal-Mart seemed to be “all American” which [...] ...

Beyond Reason Part 2: Madrid
2007-09-22 04:50:29
This is part two of a reoccurring multi-part series on why we fight. The series is called “Beyond Reason” because the events described defy any sense of logic and reason; in fact, these events defy humanity in every sense. Each of these events helps us to understand evil and helps lay the foundation of [...] ...

The Reality of Economic Globalization
2007-09-21 03:44:55
I have spoken on this topic before, and it is unfortunate that I need to talk about it again.
As a devout capitalist, it may seem contrary that I would speak against economic globalization. After all, it’s all about making money, right? Well, yes and no. It’s also about maintaining capital here at home, which means [...] ...

Taking a Vacation, American Style
2007-09-20 00:44:24
As many of you may (or may not) have noticed, I have been absent the past few days. This was not due to me losing my mind (which would be the popular consensus), but due to a short but well deserved vacation. It had been a while since my last vacation, so the little lady [...] ...

Racism, Inequality and Hillary
2007-09-16 17:51:09
Well well, it would seem that Hillary Rodham is back at it again, this time pandering to the NAACP. I have to give her credit for one thing though. She has officially gone so far off the deep end that she is willing to see and do whatever it takes to appease every group [...] ...

A Tangible Concern
2007-09-12 16:02:14
I don’t worry much about the environment. I think that global warming a big joke. I don’t worry about the health care “crisis” or the mortgage “crisis.” I don’t concern myself with the horrors of trans fats, second hand smoke or lead paint in toys. These things are all meaningless distractions, and they’re working splendidly [...] ...

Why We Fight
2007-09-11 19:51:14
I have spoken my piece regarding 9/11 for this year. Yesterday’s post will stand as is, because I wanted to take a different approach to remembering this terrible day. I wanted to look at where I was on 9/10/01 and what changed after that day. I have always had a standing page on my side [...] ...

Six years later. Where are we now? Where were we then?
2007-09-10 17:31:26
Six years ago today I was dreaming of what South African women might be like. I had heard that they were quite the dish; with the British Accents and whatnot. Nobody really knew for sure though, because we were to be the first aircraft carrier to pull into Cape Town for decades, and it was [...] ...

The problem with tomorrow
2007-09-10 03:41:10
I’m stuck staring down the throat of a very difficult dilemma. By nature, I don’t like to stare down any throats. I don’t even like dentists because they stare down throats every day, and I think it warps them. But there’s something especially bothersome about staring down the throat of something bad.
Ok, so I’m being [...] ...

On the state of politics and Fred Thompson
2007-09-06 15:06:01
So, during my sick period I had some time to think about some things, and as per my usual twisted logic, got to comparing real life to cartoons. I think people all too often pass off cartoons as simple entertainment; which don’t get me wrong, most of them are (especially most of the new ones [...] ...

Going from point a to point b. A brief psychology lesson.
2007-09-04 05:22:41
[Update 1 9/4/07: I re-combobulated the wording of the first couple of paragraphs to better reflect what I’m trying to say. I re-read the original and realized it made no sense. So I hope this helps]
Head’s up, this is much less a political or social rant so much as it’s a lesson in psychology and [...] ...
