Unfortunately, Jim cannot charge a fee, take advertising or sell merchandise as it may affect the fair use position he uses to allow full article posting. That leaves individual donations as a vehicle to pay for the site.

I remember when Jim was more critical of the Bush's and the pubs. However, 911 changed that and now he feels we are in a war situation and that reckless criticism and tin foiling is counter productive to that effort.

In addition, I believe Jim came to the conclusion, as I did many years ago, that the man in the office is only part of the problem/equation as to the direction of our country. The second part is judges. I think we can all agree that liberals have used legislating from the bench as a tool to advance their socialist agenda and addressing that issue means embracing less than ideal candidates that can win over political idealists who can't.

Some here would call that a sell out but I believe it is political reality and pragamatism. We didn't get into this situation overnight and there are those who are looking for a home run everytime we take a swing. We have to be patient and realize games are won by scratching out singles and taking the walk when offered.

Babe Ruth was the home run king but he also held the record for most strike outs. Those that advocate political purity in candidates, while noble in itself, do more harm than good in the long run.
