Alexis & Me – Introduction Pages 7 – 10
Tocqueville, referencing the ancient origins of democracy and its downfall: “Almost before anyone was aware of existence, it seized power unexpectedly. From then on each man has abjectly catered to the least of its desires. Once it was worshiped as the very image of force. Later, after its strength had been sapped by its own excesses, [...]
#TX17 Conservative Candidate Rob Curnock Interview 10 March 2010
In the interest of equal time in the media, I offered all candidates in the Texas 17 Congressional Race the opportunity to meet with me and do an interview prior to the Primary. In that interview, I asked if the candidate would visit with me once a week to have an interview, recorded either over the phone or in person, since Chet Edwards gets at [...]
Keeping Things Clean With Bill Flores
So I sent a small package to Bill Flores, which he received on February 9th, as a token of my desire to start anew. There had been a flurry of activity on this blog and I had been in touch with Bill, and figured this token would bring a new beginning. In fact, I sent the package the same day I spoke with Bill. People in sales will recognize the [...]
Flores Receives Kiss Of Death Endorsement
Write-Ins will remember that I mentioned that receiving the endorsement of the Bryan-College Station Eagle is the kiss of death because The Eagle is not conservative in any sense of the word. With its avid support of Planned Parenthood and its fawning over Chet Edwards, you can count on it not being reliable in terms of representing the community [...]
Alexis & Me – Introduction Pages 2 – 7
Alexis invites us further beyond the first few paragraphs by exploring the history of France over the previous 700 years – from the start of the 12th century to his day. While it ignores the massive impact of the Plague upon migration and the fall of the feudal system, his brief summary brings him to the point he wants to make concerning [...]
Flores’ Chum Amongst The Political Sharks
There seems to be loose ends on the Bill Flores situation with The American Writer. I made contact with a Flores family member whom I submitted a Friend Request on facebook to. This person has been quite cordial in their interactions with me, so I thought a friend request would be the next logical step, regardless of politics. You’ll find I am [...]
Alexis & Me – Introduction Page 1
Alexis grabbed me in his introduction right away. "Among the new things that attracted my attention during my stay in the United States, none struck me more forcefully than the equality of conditions. I readily discovered what a prodigious influence this basic fact exerts on the workings of society. It imparts a certain direction to the public [...]

Alexis & Me – A Course in Human Events
Travel America with me for a while… I am reading “Democracy in America” by Alexis de Tocqueville, who wrote the book from 1835 to 1840. From the jacket flap of the version translated by Arthur Goldhammer in The Library of America edition, 2004 : “A young and aristocratic lawyer, Tocqueville came to the United States in 1831 with his [...]
I Recommend You Refrain From Voting For Flores Or Wilson #TX17
In the House of Representatives Texas District 17 race you probably have an idea of who I won’t vote for, but I want to make sure. So here’s who and why I will NOT vote for them. (more...)
