This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

You must be delusional. Do you really think that the majorities that voted for conservative government since 1980 worship the wealthy? Do you think I do? Or is it more likely that the reason conservatism made such inroads in the last thirty years is exactly because liberals, instead of actually thinking about it, unwisely wrote it off as worship of the wealthy?

"Movement Conservatism" worships the wealthy. Â Those who have been sucked into "movement conservatism" (like the entire damned Republican Party) worship wealth and the wealthy.
Mike Huckabee is 100% on the mark when he refers to the "Club for Growth" as the "Club for Greed." Â As much as I disagree with aspects of his theology, I respect his fundamental decency.
"Movement Conservatism" is all about taking the United States back to the 1890s. Â Grover Norquist has said as much.
All the rest–the "family values," the "trickle down economics" (which even David Stockman admitted was a lie), the anti-immigration hysteria, the servility to gun nuts–is just to distract followers from their motive: Â
Make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Wake up and smell the damned coffee.  The Republican Party has corrupted itself beyond the wildest dreams of Tammany Hall, all in prostitution to wealth and the wealthy.
(Don’t mince words, Frank, tell me what you really think.)
