The Secesh 1
“OilGunnia.”
These are folks who don’t realize that The Quick and the Dead was a movie.
A damned good movie, aside from being about 30 minutes too long, but still a movie.
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.

What’s happened is the Republican Party has disintegrated into a party for people who yearn for their own little white purity sovereign nations where there may be a small servant class of non-whites and no gay people are allowed, except in the closet or playing piano like Liberace. This puts them only a step away from the “sovereign nation” nuts the FBI tracks and the various neo-Nazi survivalists that occasionally try to find a small town where they can plan to migrate and set up an encampment. You know how I go on about preppers and how National Geographic has decided its money-making niche programming to pander to them with reality series on the end of civilization and how to stockpile your off-the-grid stakeout? That’s what all this is about, the root of it. It’s an internal shared psychosis, a belief system that various locales in WhiteManistan are the most put upon and persecuted of minorities and that if they could just form their little republics or regional fortresses they’d have true liberty and freedom from the hated oppressors, like their favorite don’t-tread-on-me stories of Hector Heathcotes throwing off the King. My old publisher was like this. He looked into forming an island micro-nation, was convinced the US would fall in 2000, decamped to Belize, then to Nicaragua when the former was deemed wanting, then back to Belize and died there. And occasionally news agencies will run photographic spreads and stories about white American ex-pats who’ve gone to live somewhere in Central America. But it seems the majority don’t have the resources or get-up-and-go for that and believe that it’s somehow possible to carve out their own piece of the CONUS if they get in the local newspapers about it enough. I’m of half a mind the federal government should establish a program for them, one that gives those that really want it, a block grant, enough to get them out of the country and set up elsewhere on the condition they not come back for at least ten years. They can keep their citizenship, too.
