Andrew Allison joins us from Leeds in the UK where he blogs A Conservative View. “I am a driving
instructor by day and a political activist by night. I live in the city of Hull, which is about 60 miles east of Leeds. I stood for election to Hull City Council last May, but as this area is inhabited by liberals, I was not elected. I will be standing again this May though. I describe myself as a liberal conservative because on social policy I firmly believe it is the job of all of us who have a good life to help those who have fallen on hard times. Helping them to help themselves is vital for social cohesion and helps build a successful economy. On matters of economics, I am a Thatcherite and Reaganite. Ronald Reagan got it right when he said that government was not the answer; it was the problem. Governments make a hash of running services. It’s much better to leave those tasks to private companies and the voluntary sector. I live with my fiancee, Becky.

Blue Collar Muse, a. k. a. Ken Marrero resides in Tennessee. The leader of the ConserVOLiance and a contributor at Conservablogs, Marrero believes “political decisions impact far more than just the immediate areas they pertain to. Local politics affect state politics which affect national politics which impact international politics. This simple truth is the basis underlying the maxim that all politics is local.
“Given that, it seems right to us that the more we can influence the decisions made at the local and state levels, the more we can influence decisions made at the national and international levels. It’s not actually that simple and it won’t happen overnight but it is a great place to begin and we won’t ever arrive at a place of influence someday if we don’t start today!”

Wow… for ablog that claims “independence”, you sure have un UNBIASED view. Every single contributor is from that same-old corrupt, self-serving, oil-loving, freedom-hating broken party that produced the war criminals Busha and Chaney. May you lose and lose big in 2008. It’s time for a change, and it’s time for America to stop being hated by the rest of the world.
Drei…
This must be your first visit. We have Pro-Choice & Pro-Life contributors. We have anti-Gay marriage folks – and Pro-Gay marriage folks. We have pro- & anti war folks. There are people on every side of critical issues. Some support Obama. Others support McCain.
If you read in depth – you’ll find that I am strictly anti-corruption. And that while I love my President, I was in the lonely chorus of voices calling for Rumsfeld to go – and I am one of very few critics in the Republican Party who openly criticizes Sec. Rice.
I encourage you to utilize the search tool at the top right corner here, look up Obama – and read my thoughts regarding his candidacy. Listen to my show on BlogTalkRadio – you will find that I actively work to bridge the divide between Left and Right.
The Republican Party needs work, so does the Democratic Party. But America, and the world, needs both – and that middle ground is where this blog begins.
Well said, Lizzy. He seems to have forgotton that as I am English, I cannot vote in US elections!

Lizzy,
It seems Drei still believes in the “Change” that Obama is offering haha.
Us ‘oil loving freedom haters’ will just never understand i guess. wow what a clown.
and it seems to me as if you have put together a worthy team of contributors. My best to all of you. When it comes to the values we all hold dear and fight to preserve we really are all in this one together.
Lizzy, you ‘love’ your president and are an ‘anti-corruption’ activist?
Geez, talk about cognitive dissonance!
Too little critical thinking skills, too much corporate propaganda and disney movies in your wee years.
However, your credulity will help your rise up the corporate ladder.
The corrupt and anti-democratic always take care of their own (as long as they are white or pure Uncle Tom types).
Slave Revolt,
It strikes me as funny that “uncle tom types” always get’s thrown out there when idiots like you come on board a blog that you have no idea what it is about, and feel a real threat to your ignorance.
“Anti-democratic” is about as accurate as you can be when you speak of me. I am for the REPUBLIC as such that I believe in the system that was established in 1776.
Do I sense a touch of wealth envy from a “corporate” hater? Cognitive dissonance is more likely coming from liberal “democracy cultists” like yourself.
Critical thinking skills require that you don’t drink the liberal cool-aide and spout cultist mantra. Try a bit of objective thinking.
Drei,
If you are going to bash Bush, and CHENEY, at least spell their name correctly or you just look like a foil hat wearing, conspiracy theory believing, “its all Bush’s fault” shouting, window breaking, “peace activist” who wouldn’t know true freedom if it kicked you in the shins.
I am trying to get in touch with Charles aka Oxychaz!!
