    Thanks a lot! Now that you posted your search engine stuff in my comments, I now have someone googling “women who claim their boss has spanked t!” That’s it…no idea where the “t” trail off to. I just had to tell you because I laughed my ass off.

    I was looking around Google and ran across your website. Very impressive! I have recently built a website called NationalPlatforms.com that provides a single source for someone to see where all the 2008 presidential candidates stand on the issues. The information comes directly from the campaigns themselves and completely unbiased.

    I believe your audience would find my site very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read this email and I’d love to hear back from you.

    I cross posted an excerpt from your piece on Stillwater Infidel. Thanks for the great commentary!

    What type of cigars do you like?

    New feature. Woo Hoo!

    I have added the “FeedBlitz” option to the side bar (down in the “Tidbits” section). This will allow you to subscribe to this via email in a sort of newsletter form and will also allow me to communicate to subscribers via mass email.

    Check it out. It’s cool!

    You’d make a great fit with our gaggle of conservative bloggers at True North. Interested?

    I have found a legal loophole in the Minnesota Freedom to Breathe Act that will allow any Minnesota bar to serve food and liquor to patrons AND allow them to smoke in the same indoor area. I would like to link up with a Minnesota Smokers Rights organization to (1) implement this loophole at a Minnesota bar (2) that is willing to be reported in the media. Please respond to my email address.

    I’m putting you up on my site. You are just too awesome a writer not to link to.

    I apologize for posting so much information on your smoking ban blog, it just happens to be one issue that rally “fires” me up. Keep up the good work and I will attempt to be more concise in the future.

    Thanks for stopping by, Alaskancamel. Your information and posts are always welcome here! I’m always looking for people with more than just two-word arguments, so keep it up! Come back often, I’d enjoy your opinion on any topic here.

    I really wish you would not have provided a link to John Galts Gifts. I am now broke.

    Love of cigars? Now that would be a fun blog. What are your thoughts on the Cuban embargo?

  14. arclightzero said,

    December 28, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    I’m not a big fan of the Cuban embargo. I think it has been nothing more than a show of force that failed to achieve anything useful. Since I not only love cigars, but have enjoyed my fair share of Cubans over the years, it pisses me off to no end that we continue to “teach those commies a lesson” and are denying people the enjoyment of a stout Cuban cigar.

    Oh yeah, and I would love to take a vacation to Habana… Damned reds…

  15. alaskancamel said,

    I have a love of cigars as well. So far, I have only found a few Cubans that I really enjoyed. It seems like most of them are reducing in quality (imagine that). My wife loves the smell of a cigar and I smoke them in the house (and no, she is not available). Of course the taxes are astrinomical here (150% of wholesale), but when I travel, I stock up. I think I am down to about 150 cigars….oops, getting low. :o)

    I usually buy online. cigars international is about the best when it comes to prices and selection. I usually only buy at smoke shops when I feel like sitting back at the shop with the other customers and enjoying a fine cigar. I don’t mind paying the markup and insane taxes to be in good company, but I won’t pay that price for a box.

    Oh, and my girlfriend smokes cigars along with me :)

    Do you have a list of all of your posted blogs? (its probably right out in the open, but you know us smokers, were not very bright) I love the way you keep updating the front page, but some of the blogs I like to keep checking on and they keep moving. Thanks again for all of your hard work on this site. This is the only blog I continually check in on.

  18. arclightzero said,

    Camel, I’ll see what I can do. I don’t have a list so to speak, and the sidebar is automatically updated based on daily traffic to different posts… I’ll see if I can create a page that lists everything though.

    Thanks for the plug though! I’m glad you visit regularly. You’re a great addition to the group

    Just finished “Capitalism, the unknown ideal”. Wow did that screw me up as you can probably tell in the change in ferocity of my postings. On a lighter note, I have a few college friends and know a few high school kids through my children…I have passed out 10 copies so far. Don’t know if that is good or bad. heh

    It’s a great book, but I tell you, Atlas Shrugged is what really changed me. Hank Rearden is my hero.

    Any promotion of Rand’s philosophy - especially to youth - is outstanding. I’ve been preaching Ayn Rad for years!

  21. alaskancamel said,

    January 5, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    I have read Atlas Shrugged twice and The Fountainhead once. I am starting to expand out into her other works though. The think that really hit my in “Capatilism” is that it is all history and facts. Atlas Shrugged was a great story that made me think and changed my views on many things, but Capatilism really hit home. Maybe it just hit so hard because it is election season. ( side note, I love how she destroys Romney Sr. in that book…makes you think)

  22. arclightzero said,

    January 6, 2008 at 8:22 am

    That is true, “Capitalism” is an outstanding book and should be a must read for anybody who’s at all serious about capitalism and freedom. I would dare to say it should be a required reading for schools, but I know that would never, ever happen since it really flies in the face of most of what school preach these days.

    Camel, here’s a good look at Mitt from an objectivism point of view:

    Have you seen Atlas’ vlogs? The woman is a space cadet.

  25. arclightzero said,

    January 6, 2008 at 10:17 am

    You mean Atlas Shrugs 2000 (http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/)?

    If that’s who you’re referring to, then you’re right, she is a space cadet.

    Spawn, I think I came up with a solution to your problem… I can’t get wordpress to generate a full list of my posts… SO, I actually happened across CoComment while trying to solve your dilemma of keeping up with posts you comment on. If you install CoComment, it keeps track of all of your comments for you and lets you easily get back to any of them without having to search for them. It’s easy to use, too, since it just acts like a browser extension and automatically integrates into the comments section when you go to a post… Something to consider anyway.

    Greetings ArcLight,,
    I recently semi-moved over to http://www.dequalss.com/wp/

    I joined the conservatives first network (I thought)but I don’t see anything of mine on the site or listed in the daily emails…. what am I forgetting to do??? I really like the daily emails and would like to be included in them and also on the CF site

    Ryan,

    Call for help. I am doing an assignment on “the roll of government, business, and the consumer in environmental protection”. I know my thoughts, but was wondering if you knew of any good sites I could cite to back up my opinion that government should stay the hell out of it, business should protect the bottom line, and the consumer has no impact on the environment so they have no roll. Its going to be an interesting class.

    Side note, sorry I havent been writing much. I have been traveling and I also just found out I am going to be a dad again…so life is a little crazy.

    Hope to hear from you soon,

    Jim

    Ok Jim, I’ll email this to you too, but in case you get here first… I’m not sure exactly what you need, but some great resources when it comes to business, government and regulation:

    American Enterprise Institute:
    http://www.aei.org

    CATO Institute:
    http://www.cato.org

    Competitive Enterprise Institute:
    http://www.cei.org

    The Heritage Foundation
    http://www.heritage.org

    The Hudson Institute
    http://www.hudson.org

    Let me know if these help you out at all. I’ll see if I can think of some more for you…

  31. alaskancamel said,

    Thanks, Hudson really helped me out. Were you able to check out Heartland? It seems right up your alley.

    Considering your stand on the Anti-tobacco legislation I thought you would be interested in this link

    http://www.bobbarr2008.com/press/press-releases/15/bob-barr-criticizes-proposals-to-expand-fda-regulation-to-tobacco/

    It is a press release from Bob Barr, the Libertarian nominee for president. I have been reading on his website and overall I like what I am seeing. I was wondering if you had heard of him yet and had any opinions on his policies.

  33. Ryan said,

    June 25, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    Thanks Beth! That’s great news. I’m a huge Bob Barr fan, and that really sealed the deal. I have already contacted his campaign and asked for an opportunity to speak with him about this…
