Hello, and welcome to America in crisis.

Hello folks, and welcome to the first of hopefully many blogs that will discuss the crisis we have here in America today. I am your humble blogger, That Conservative College Guy, Jordan Bogart. A quick background on me:

I am a freshman Indiana State University as a Management Information Systems major. I was excited to escape Illinois, thinking I'd be moving to a red state, finally, but unfortunately Indiana disappointed this election cycle and went blue. I am also a Christian, I believe in God and his son's teachings, and that's a large part of me being a conservative. I'm also a follower of common sense, as I believe most true conservatives are.

In case you don't know exactly where I stand, let me show you where I stand on common political issues:

I am Pro-Life. Abortions have no place in this world and they are murder. I'll be re-posting a note from my Facebook here that has the details on that.

The government is not here to hand out welfare at every turn. I'm fine with people getting help when they truly need it. I'm not OK with people abusing the welfare system, leeching of people who make an honest living and work hard to keep their family fed, sheltered, clothed and protected. I believe welfare should be reduced to make there be motivation for people to want to get out of their situation.

I support the War on Terror. What happened on September 11th was absolutely inexcusable. Radical Islamic terrorists hating America for being the most successful nation on this planet (for now) and killing our citizens because of it is inexcusable. We need to stop these terrorists by whatever means necessary. If we need to torture the terrorists to protect American lives, then by all means, we need to do it. These terrorists have to be stopped if we are to enjoy any semblance of peace again.

I believe Global Warming is a scam. Again, this is something else I'll be re-posting from my Facebook, but it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the earth's climate moves in cycles. Don't buy the liberal agenda that you are to blame for this. Even if this was true, Al Gore, the champion of global warming, is the biggest hypocrite on this planet, flying private jets and having a complex that leaves one of the biggest "carbon footprints" to be seen.

I think you can see where I'm going with all of this. I'm a real conservative. Not one of these new "conservatives" that are pushing for more moderate policies. I'll be honest, I didn't vote in the 2008 election because it was a choice between two liberals. If I was asked to choose one, I would have chose McCain, but only for Sarah Palin. Palin represented a return to Reagan style conservatism, and that's what this country needs right now. Reagan's economic policies lead to the success that Clinton takes credit for in the 90's. Don't believe me? Look at the economy near the end of Clinton's time in office. It was starting to fall, and something people don't give Bush 43 enough credit for is for pulling us out of the 2001 recession.

In general, this blog will be about criticizing our current administration. Now, you might ask, why do something like that, that's not fair. I humbly disagree with you. The mainstream media (MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS) has attacked George W. Bush for the past 8 years, and they aren't treating Obama with the same style of criticism. Therefore, it's up to the little guy to do that. It's up to us common sense Conservatives to make this right. That's why I made this blog, so that the voice of conservatives could be heard. Obama is already trying to silence our voice, by attacking one of my favorite talk radio personalities, Rush Limbaugh. He has no right to do this, and I know Rush will continue on, and so will I. If you want "change" you can honestly believe in, look critically at this administration, and then in 2010, begin the process by taking this liberal congress out of power.

Until next time folks, I'm that Conservative College Guy, and we are America.
