The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Hats off to Obama for this one (and this is a first since he took office for me, anyway) - he is flexing some muscle over the naval incident in the South China Sea. A few days ago, an unarmed US Naval vessel (no doubt a spy ship looking in on Chinese sub activity) was 'harrassed' by several Chinese naval vessels in international waters. There is disagreement over several things with the Chinese in this show down, and Obama has chosen to dispatch war ships to escort these unarmed vessels. Good for him.

While I don't think most everyone else will care I still wanted to post anyway. So you can feel free to skip ahead.

On Wednesday, after much thought, I decided to form a political organization. I was sort of tired of watching the GOP re-organize and talk about all these people they want to reach out to. The disabled were never discussed. I want to change the story. The effort started with the establishment of the "Can-Do Conservatives of America" group on Facebook. My goals are to have an active and fully-functional website, to have chapters in each of the 50 states, and to eventually have an annual convention. We currently have 26 members, including Georgia state Insurance Commissioner (and 2010 candidate for Governor), John Oxendine, South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer, and former Speaker of the Florida House (and probable 2010 US Senate candidate) Marco Rubio!
