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.

They play with fire. The GOP state extremists who do this for their base ignore at their peril the inspiration they give to even more fringe and crazy individuals obsessed with striking back against alleged federal government tyranny. They want to refight the Civil War as theatre without thinking about the fact that someone who takes them very seriously in the audience may decide to take part.

In addition to what you list, I would argue that they also betray the racism fundament on which their ideology rests.

50/50 odds Ted Nugent uses the NRA conference this weekend to threaten the president with a thin metaphor again this weekend. It was at the same even last year that he did so and earned a visit from the US Secret Service. Last time I checked most people manage to get through life without a special courtesy call from them, that it’s a blot on your reputation if they are compelled to come and quiz you about matters.

The right is going nuts. I wonder if this is what the 1850s were like.

Here’s another nullification stunt to compile. Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, just signed into law legislation that requires police to sell the guns bought in buyback drives back to registered gun sellers, thus making no point to them. The Phoenix police have scheduled three to get in before the law goes into effect. That’s the kind of law that’s just a socially destructive and nasty stunt, meant double as a symbol to the nuts gun right. For god’s sake, there has never been anything wrong with gun buybacks in cities, particularly in places like LA.

A primary motivation of the Republican Party seems to be simple down-home meanness and spitefulness.
It flabbergasts.
