Lubbock Left

This week we turn to one of my favorite Lubbock bloggers: Fade, who maintains the House of the Rising Sons blog. He’s straightforward, passionate, and quite frankly fun to read. Here’s fade discussing his blog in his own words:

My blog is a little more emotional than most, and that’s just my nature. I never have minced words, and I don’t think I’m going to start now. I write exactly like I talk (sans the Texas drawl, although I throw a few ain’ts and ya’lls in there subconsciously at times).

Fade’s been doing this for a while, so there’s lots to go back and read. Here are some of his posts that are recent favorites of mine:

Blog Conversations that Make Conservatives Cringe

If we can all serve our country by talking to each other openly and honestly, the country gets stronger, not weaker. So keep the conversation going.

So what if it was the oil?

The Quick fix is killing America. Shortcuts and short term repairs do nothing but make the problem worsen in the long run.

Americans seem to be incapable of promoting any real solutions to ANY of our problems, whether it is foreign policy, the economy, national security, or lessening our nation’s reliance on crude oil.

Salute to the American Pro-War Crowd

So, plant your fatass in front of the teevee tonight and watch as much contrived 9-11 anniversary fever that you can, all the while suppressing the real reasons WHY our country was attacked.

And, as with good blogs everywhere, there’s always further good discussion in the comments.

What are you waiting for? Head on over and join the conversation!
