Jack Hunter a Hope for Conservative Media

If more conservatives sounded like The Southern Avenger then more conservatives would be getting my vote.  Like many other Socialists, Liberals and Conservatives I can find more common ground often on many issues with them over the booming Statist voices of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck.

I first voted Libertarian in 2000.  I was fed up with the two party system.  I was finding a political philosophy strongly influenced by John Stossel on 20/20,  Robert Nozick and others like them.  At that time my political philosophy was in it’s infancy.  I had an extremely Liberal professor who liked to question the conventional wisdom and the patriarchy.  I believe those things together really started to get me questioning the 2 party system and what seemed like acceptable political alignments in this country.  I did not have the internet at first to find like minded individuals so I had to create them where I went.  I ranted and told others my philosophies slowly gaining like minded individuals that way.

The media was not going to promote Libertarianism over the Two Party system.  In 2004 I had my Badnarick bumper sticker on my car and was proudly supporting the Libertarian candidate.  It seemed like a loosing effort. Everyone was in the dark about libertarianism.  Then something wonderful happened.  Ron Paul’s Campaign.

FOX began to pick up some more libertarian voices.  These were people I could agree with more than ever.  Judge Napolitano got his own show and then they gave a John Stossel a spot on FOX business where he could have more of a voice and more control.  We see more conservatives rejecting the idea of the war and more clinging to actual small government concepts.  Small government is not no government, but minarchism and true free market principles are much closer to something I can vote for and agree upon.

Many of you may have already seen Jack Hunter The Southern Avenger on YouTube.  If not you need to check him out here.  The guys at Liberty Pulse brought to my attention an effort to get Jack Hunter National.  It is something we all should lend some support to.  I will throw my voice in to support someone like him getting a national voice.  Please go to here.

The more we can phase out the seemingly dominant voice in conservativism, the closer we will come to small government concepts being accepted.  Statelessness may be too much for some to swallow right now in a nation of total state control, but conservative minarchist and constitutionalist ideas may be something we can pull a country towards with the right media in the public eye.  Our biggest chance at that is to get more of a voice in the media and to educate people in those libertarian ideas.

GROW INTO THE GARDEN; SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE; Turn that precious oudoor space into a sleek retreat…(Features)

Daily Mail (London) August 14, 2010 AS GARDENS evolve into stylish outdoor rooms, this is a good time of year to think ‘outside the shed’ and introduce some ultrastylish new features to make the most of that precious patch of outdoor space.

Sails that act as sunblinds while looking more like overhead sculptures, decadent day beds in the latest all-weather PU rattan and log cabins that can be dressed up as twinkly retreats for entertaining — these are some of the latest ideas for creating a relaxing retreat in the garden, which can be home to so much more than the proverbial shed.

Creating a sleek outdoor sanctuary will extend an al fresco lifestyle well into autumn.

And with August sales on now, it’s a great time to dream up grand designs as everything from patio heaters to pergolas and play frames are at up to half price, with ample time to get your project installed and put to use over the months to come.

From shed to sauna ONCE they were just somewhere to store the tools or bikes — and a refuge for a generation of dads. website monkey tower defence 4

But now the shed has morphed into a stylish log cabin often fully equipped with modern furnishings, heating and electricity — to be put to innovative use as a sauna, cinema room, gym, guest room, play room or warm and cosy double glazed home office.

A cabin can also be dressed up to look magical in the evening with LED lighting, a sound system and storm lanterns leading to it for al fresco entertaining. And it can add value as well as extra space to your home.

Check out the many variations available from Dunster House (www.dhlogcabins.co.uk), from guest rooms and offices to gazebos, saunas and camping cocoons.

Dunster House also supply special Rapidpad foundations requiring minimal digging, making the cabin much quicker to erect than laying a concrete base.

Sail through summer KEEPING the conservatory cool in summer, or creating an outdoor area that provides some welcome shade doesn’t just mean blinds or pergolas. see here monkey tower defence 4

A lightweight tensile sail can provide a contemporary and visually stunning feature, like a floating sculpture overhead.

Tensile sails are used in many famous architectural spaces, such as Sadler’s Wells, to create a focal point, diffuse light and remove solar glare.

But these cutting edge architectural tools adapt equally well to the home, providing conservatory shades or canopies to go over a patio or walkway, creating a transition space between home and garden, while providing protection from the sun and rain — look at www.tensarc.co.uk Year-round sanctuary FROM decadent day beds to corner groups – the latest weather resistant modular rattan garden furniture can turn a garden haven into a super sleek sanctuary.

The buzzword is PU rattan, which you can leave out all year in all weathers without fading or splitting. Instead it retains a stylish look that has the knack of making you feel like you’re sitting by a swish 5-star hotel pool in the South of France.

The UV-resistant rattan is easy to wipe down, smoother and softer to the touch than traditional wicker and stays cool even in hot weather, with a strong rust resistant frame.

Comfy cushions are showerproof with washable covers, but are best kept undercover when not in use.

A good source is Showhouse Furniture (www.showhousefurniture.com), suppliers of stylish PU rattan furniture sets to consumers and leading hotels such as The Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, where the Ryder Cup is being held in October.

PM’s garden party IN THE run up to the General Election, Dunster House were delighted to see their Monkey Tower climbing frame sitting proud as punch behind Prime Minister David Cameron, in pictures taken in his garden.

He’s a busy man, but if he did find time to assemble the Monkey Tower himself for his family, he would have found it a doddle using the simple instructions and assembly kit provided – and to dismantle it to move it to his new Downing Street address (www.dhclimbingframes.co.uk).

Climbing frames come in all kinds of fun combinations, with monkey bars, swings, towers, climbing ladders, fireman’s poles, scramble nets and wave slides. Kids love them and they provide an easy way to ensure they get plenty of exercise.

And like most of the latest ideas for transforming the garden, you may get one now at a particularly good price.
