I start this blog on a Tuesday upon reflection of the events of yesterday. I spent Monday tending to the yard and hitting pitch shots in between my stretches of work. I stoked the fire out back, burning the fallen branches of winter. I thought to myself, "It is good to burn a fire in the yard ... incense to the world ... a connection to the ancients." Suddenly an odd thought popped into my head. "I wonder how long before the 'carbon police' come knocking on my door."
All the while I'm listening to Mark Steyn, filling in for Rush. He begins talking about the EU enforcing the flatulence tax on the farmers of its member nations. He paints a brilliant picture of a peasant medieval farmer guffawing when the "kings men" come by to collect a flatulence tax on his goats. His British accent sparks in my mind the images of a Monty Python lampoon. Yet modern society has discarded all common sense and blankly accepts such preposterous ideas. "Oops! I farted ... tax me!"
Now, with the fire roaring, I settle into hitting more golf balls. Suddenly, inspiration overtakes me. I begin to see golf in a whole new light. Allow me to explain. For years I have been authoring goldengolf . The goal was to draw upon, physics, mysticism, neuroscience, philosophy, and aesthetics, to develop a holistic approach to the game I love. Politics never entered into the equation. But now there is a new angle.
The most pleasurable experience a golfer has, no matter his or her level of play, is the occurance of the "pure shot." The pleasure is rooted in the complete freedom he or she experiences in the movement and in the moment. The movement is not strained. Nor is it manufactured. It is in complete harmony with the free will of the golfers intent. The result is a golf shot where the ball jumps off the club face and sails perfectly along the line the player intended. It even has a unique sound! The urge to experience this freedom is therefore the highest goal of the golfer. When the golfer feels this freedom, he intrinsicly understands that the result of this movement will be postive.
Axiom: The urge to be free cannot be separated from the soul of the golfer. The urge to be free cannot be separated from the soul of any individual. The urge to be free is born with us. It is an inalienable right.
As I have said previously, the game of golf is a beacon of democracy, capitalism, and freedom.
The purpose of this blog:
1. Support all Patriots. I will help in any manner for those needing support for Tea Party rallies.
2. Rally the masses for an anti-incumbancy movement. Harry Reid ... OUT! ... Nancy Pelosi ...OUT! ... Barney Frank ... OUT! Chris Dodd ... OUT! Anyone who voted for TARP .... OUT!
3. To help preserve the game of golf for future generations.
4. To reverse the assault on capitalism. Haven't we learned anything from the European experiment? Socialism has never worked! Never! The Pilgrims were almost wiped out because of collectivism. It is antithetical to human nature. There is no reason to believe that suddenly it will work here.
5. To reach out to those dear folks that may be having buyers remorse after last years presidential election. This is not about Republicans and Democrats. This is about the United States of America, the Constitution, Democracy, and Freedom.
The founders of this great nation are rolling in their graves. We the people is a great video.
