Well it seems like our politicians just love a disaster to divert our attention away from the real issues of the day. The president will make a show of force to BP t o chide them for the oil leak. But where was the Government when they should be keeping an eye on these types of things. Is not a large part of their job to keep companies and others from being in the position that BP is now in. Gov. should be working to make regulations to control the big companies not always on the backs of the people.

Meanings

Conserve : To keep from harm , loss, or change.
Moderate : not extreme.
Conservative : unwilling to accept changes or new ideas.
Moderate : opinions that are not extreme.

O.K. So given these very basic definitions of the two words , what is a moderate-conservative ?
Is this a new word ? Have I made it up ? Well it does not appear in the dictionary in this exact make up ( at least not the ones I looked in) . So here is my view of the term. Opinion here: I believe that a moderate - conservative is a person in political terms that believes that not all that came before is all bad , some of it is good and this part does not need to be thrown out just because new ideas are presented. But, they also believe that some changes are necessary and need to be made. But, as the old saying goes, you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. What this means is you keep what has been working , the foundation so to speak, then make changes or modifications as needed. We don't need to reinvent the wheel each time. The problems with the current political parties is that so hate each other that they refuse to believe that anything the other party did is of any value at all. This results in political upheaval when a new party is elected, thus resulting in discontent for the people of our country. So... As a moderate-conservative I strive to bridge this conflict between our political parties. Not an easy task. Stay tuned.

Why this Blog ?

So much retoric, so much B.S., so many lies. Where does the common, hard working, moral, faithful person who keeps on plugging away despite all the barriers go? How do they survive in this insane politicalaly corrupt world. Big business controls our lives and politicians that bow to them rule us. Common sense is looked down on. Reason is responded to by vicious attacks. Crazies and wishy washy thinking is now the norm, and logic has no place. I am tired of it all. I am tired of others making decisions that negativly affect my life, cost me my hard earned money ( and I do mean hard earned) as well as being grouped in with people who have distorted the moderate conservative view. So this is a laymans blog. I will try to address the issues in a calm and reasonable manner, based on facts as I can find and research them as well as tell you when I am spesking just my opinion on an issue. We need a new voice. I will try to be that. Thank- you D.P.Mott
