The title is just a reflection of my love of all things Star Wars and really has nothing to do with the actual post.

I will be traveling for the next two months and have decided to really buckle down and blog about things on my travels. I will talk about my workouts, work and more then likely the countryside I am traveling through.

I’ll also post up pics and maybe some videos of things while I’m out in west Texas. So check back here starting on Sunday to keep track of things.

I love how everyone on the left are now jumping up and down and screaming for joy for all these “social” issues that Obama has all of a sudden had an epiphany on. When it comes to gay marriage and letting illegal kids that have followed the law get immunity (but not applied for citizenship for some strange reason) as if he is all of a sudden taking this monumental stand against the tyranny of the right. 

While I agree the GOP has done nothing but revert to a great imitation of what Southern Democrats looked like from the early 1800’s through the late 60’s (if you are a teacher or a student of history you know what I am talking about) when it comes to these issues (and yes I lean towards the GOP on many things fiscally, but break with the party on social issues) I find it even harder for people that are normally highly intelligent to be reduced to giddy cheerleaders for possibly the slickest politician to ever get elected since well John Quincy Adams. 

To quote a friend of mine, “he and his partner will not be voting for Obama this November simply because he all of a sudden quit evolving on the issue of gay marriage and has come out for it. To many in the LGBT community are jumping on a band wagon simply because they think he will actually do something. To me he is parading us around like a prized pony and i will not take it.” 

And now I am off my soap box. If you simply want to call me names go for it and if you want to lay out the democratic talking points for these things go for it. If you want to thump your bible at me over my support of gay marriage go for it. I am a big boy and can take it. Heck if you make a good point then I will answer it that too.
