Rise from the Ashes... Again


Well... its time to give this another try. After attempting to blog a few months ago - unsuccessfully I might add - its time to start anew with a hope of more frequent thoughts, updates, and general insanity.

I'm Scotch McC. Gamer, evil conservative, wannabe drunken martial artist, and overall nice guy - most of the time. Its nice to meet any of you who happen to come across my blog page. I live in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, where I have since the day I was born. I have a great wife but no kids yet.

I feel its fair to be up front on my political beliefs, mostly because they will likely taint every post I have on this blog to some degree. Yes, I am one of those evil conservatives. No, I don't get money from Big Oil, but I wish I did. So, what is a conservative exactly? I think one of my personal idols, Glenn Beck, put it best:

"To be a conservative is, in my definition, is somebody that believes in the power of the individual, somebody that believes, please let me make my decisions, that I have a right to succeed and not be penalized for it. I have a right to fail and have no one run to me if I don't want them to run to me. A conservative believes I have a right to manage my family, I have a right to discipline my family in the way I see fit, as long as it is not criminal. A conservative believes I have the right to worship God, I have a right to worship the God of my understanding, and I do not have the right to jam my version of God down anybody else's throat or my version of no God down anybody's throat. A conservative believes live and let live. That's what a conservative believes. A conservative believes in the smallest amount of government, the smallest government you can get without anarchy. That's what a conservative believes."

That's about all for today. Going to get this finished up so I can work on some other things for the site later.
