My Meeting with the San Francisco Young Republicans

What a breath of fresh air. Last night I was able to finally attend a SFYR meeting. I have lived in SF for over a year, and during that time, I have had contact with nothing but Bush bashing, GITMO hating, pro tax, pro infanticide, pinko Commie leftists, and despite my tolerant nature, it was honestly starting to get to me.

Since here in the city, the amount of liberals is tantamount to the number of sands in the Sahara, the SFYR meeting was like an oasis. I had the pleasure of meeting many young, like minded individuals who were more than happy to have me there. In a packed section of Azul's near Union Square, we mixed and mingled while sipping drinks.

This was my first meeting of the sort, and I was half expecting a classroom-like situation. I would have been fine with that too. But the friendly atmosphere in that bar was very nice. A few drinks later we went over voting stances for the local ballots. The special speaker for the night was a member of the Giuliani campaign.

From what I gathered, many of them were not too happy with the mostly moderate contenders in the current GOP race. Many of us, including myself wished for another Ronald Reagan or Barry Goldwater to sweep us off our feet and save this nation from another term of do-nothing politics.

I was a little upset to learn that all these monthly meetings occur on Tuesday nights, and I have night classes to attend. Regardless, I look forward to special events on the weekends and have even volunteered to help register voters this Saturday at the Ferry building near the financial district of San Francisco.

Well, until next time,

Victory,

The San Francisco Conservative.

Pot Religion

Pot is not addictive, pot is not harmful, pot does not control your actions. BULLSHIT! Living in San Francisco gives me a daily exposure to pot culture and the three statements above are complete lies. While it is true that some people are not as addicted to pot as some other mind altering narcotics, nevertheless, when you see a pot smoker offered some pot and s/he has not smoked in a while, their eyes will light up, their mouths salivate and they will utter something like, "Oh my God, I haven't had a hit in so long!" In fact, a friend of mine, who is constantly high, explains that he cannot function without pot and that he gets withdrawals.

Living on the outskirts of the Tenderloin (The bad part of the city) has shown me the harmful effects of smoking weed as well as the damaging effects of liberalism. Pot stifles creativity, motivation and personal responsibility. What could be more harmful than that? Studies now show a pattern of mental problems occurring in repeat pot smokers. And ask any worker at a rehabilitation center how their patients are, and they will tell you some of the saddest stories told.

Finally, they insist that pot does not alter their minds. Again, I think that it is the drugs talking. How would they know how rational they are when they are too high to know any better? And even if they asked their friends, chances are, they were high too. I however, always pass on getting high. In all honesty, acting like an idiot does not appear on my "Things to do" List. I have seen completely rational people do things they normally would not do when high.

Oh, and don't even try to convince a pot head that pot is in any way, shape or form, harmful. They will fight back like a religious zealot. Today, the police suspected that pot might have been a factor in the recent tiger mauling at the SF zoo. To this, immediate, completely biased scoffs could be heard by pot heads in my office. To them, it is simply impossible that pot could have caused them to taunt the tiger.

Ok, so what is the point of this blog. To rip on pot heads? To boost my ego? No. If you smoke pot, that is your deal. I actually support legalization for financial reasons. But don't try to convince anyone that it does nothing. Don't lie to people and try to convince them that there would be no side effects. Especially since pot smoking is so popularized and children, who rarely ask why (With exceptions to the terrible twos) are the most at risk, and pots new recruits.

A new year, a new post. Thoughts of the campaign trail

Yes, it's the new year. It's also going to be a very political year. This is of course very interesting for me, and devistating for other members of my family who will now have to deal with the TV constantly being tuned onto Fox News, MSNBC and CNN (Yes, I watch all three). Both the left and the right will be considering this to be the race that determines the fate of our nation.

However, don't think that if a Republican wins, that everything will be great. There are a lot of RINOs in the race this year, and it is up to us to remind them that we pull the strings. We, the true conservatives.

McCain has always bugged me. Should he get in, his love fest with illegal immigrants and friendly relations to uber-leftists will have to be under close scrutiny.

I, like many other Republicans are still undecided. Quite frankly, I wish there was another choice. (And no, I don't mean Ron Paul) Out of all those running, I tend to like Romney and Thompson the best. But at any rate, I would vote for just about anyone other than Hillary or Obama.

We are not electing a king after all. Just because we get a GOP president doesn't mean that we can all start relaxing. Take Bush for example. If it were not for the powerful outrage against "shamnesty" and the appointing of leftist, Harriiet Myers and the support of giving our eastern ports to Dubai, Bush would have approved all those things.

Should the unthinkable happen and Hillary or Obama get in, it could in some ways be a blessing in disguise. Nothing, short of another terrorist attack on our soil can mobilize the right quite like a Hillary/Communist Healthcare scheme or Obama/Terrorist Love fest.
