About
Hey there, thanks for stopping by. My name is Matt and I am the “egotistical, self-centered bastard” author of this blog. No seriously, I have been called that. My opinion, of course, is not shared by whom that quote is derived from but nonetheless I will take the hate mail in stride. After all, if I am hated - that means I am being heard.
Where to begin? How about with the fact that I’m a member of the VRWC [Vast, Right-wing, Conspiracy]. Well of course, I do not consider it a conspiracy but it irritates the hell out of liberals and democrats alike to pretend like it actually is a conspiracy.
On a more serious note, yes, I am very conservative. I consider myself American, more than anything though. Through hard work, diligence, innovation, and capitalism anything can be accomplished. The Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan, said it best: “I believe the best social program is a job.” America has lost its motivation and lost its pride; it is up to the people to recapture the American spirit.
The notion that America is broken is simply ridiculous. In turn, the notion that Americans need politicians to fix America is even more ridiculous. Not every American has the same chances of being successful, but every America does have the same opportunity to be successful.
This is not my only blog though, I am also a Contributor to THE CONSERVATIVE FREEDOM NEWSFEED. TCFNewsfeed is updated daily and is the place to go if you’re looking for conservative commentary on all the day’s top news.
Just a few other opinions of mine, in no particular order:
- Win the war
- Secure the borders
- It is a child, not a choice (*This should be solved at the National Level, with an amendment)
- Marriage is one man, one woman (This should be solved at the state-level) Civil Unions, O.K. because they are not endorsed by the church
- Free Healthcare is not guaranteed by the Constitution
- The FairTax or some reform to the insensible, archaic system we used today
- Morals, values, and principles
- Federalism is a good thing. No, wait, it is a great thing.
- Repeal the 17th Amendment
- School Choice, and lots of it.
- The U.N. - Irrelevant, incapacitated and impotent
- Free Trade
- Open ANWR
- Private Property is a good thing. No, wait, it is a great thing too.
- The Patriot Act is against the law
- Judges that interpret the law, not make it
- The 2nd Amendment means the RIGHT to bear arms
- Balanced Budget Amendment
- Government is not a good thing. No wait, it is a terrible thing.
- Rights from God, not government
- There is such thing as liberal media bias, open your eyes
My blog offers my uncensored take on these humble opinions, and often times how I came to develop them. I hope you enjoy your stay, and I hope you come back often. If not, always remember: ignorance is bliss, or so they say.

Matt, I can’t believe you started this website. I’m actually impressed though, and very proud of you. Way to go son. However, I must say there are a few questions I have for you. How do we win the war and how do we secure borders? Also , can you explain more by what you mean on school choice? Since coming to JMU, I have become slightly moderate in my political views, and just want to point out that there is also conservative media bias, it goes both ways. At the same time though, I do agree with most of your opinions. So, good luck with the website, and if you need help ever, just let me know.

John McCain Works to hide the Truth about POWs
Washington D.C – John McCain Betrayed former Vietnam Prisoners-of-War who attempted to access government records, raising serious concerns among American citizens about the presidential candidate’s intentions.
With the overwhelming support of over 400 congressmen, the so-called “Truth Bill,” (HR 3306) sailed through the House of Representatives, a bill that stated: “…the Department of Defense shall make available to the public with its records and information a complete listing of United States personnel classified as prisoner of war, missing in action…”
With a new congressional mandate and their veteran’s bill passing the House, POW-interest groups anticipated a similar victory in the Senate, since enabling the families of POW’s and those missing in action to gain new information, raise awareness, and find closure was popular with the electorate.
Despite ample amounts of evidence that justified further investigation, including over 1,600 firsthand sightings of live U.S. prisoners; followed by nearly 14,000 secondhand accounts; John McCain severely undermined citizens’ attempts to obtain government records concerning Vietnamese prison camps.
Senator John McCain as an influential member of the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W./M.I.A. affairs, routinely doubted credible witness reports, left committee hearings in protest of continuing attempts to access further POW inquiries, and finally destroyed attempts to aid veterans by replacing “The Truth Bill” with “The McCain Bill,” a piece of legislation that severely curtailed the investigative power of the original legislation.
McCain’s long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American POW and MIA in Vietnam who have still not been accounted for has not been investigated thoroughly.
The evidence proves that John McCain covered up access to a multitude of files, as concerned citizens, we simply ask:
“What is John McCain afraid of?”
