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.

I realize your frame of reference is liberal Democrats, who must choose between governing and getting re-elected — because the way they govern is so unpopular with the electorate.
It doesn’t work that way for Republicans. If they can just get the bureaucrats to run a conservative constitutional government, they will automatically get re-elected.
The hardest part is getting elected Republicans to stick to their principles, and to avoid the temptation to govern like Dems.
