A fiscal conservative by nature, socially semi-liberal at heart, Geoff Caldwell is a mid-life Midwesterner just trying to "make sense of it all" in an all too often crazy world.
He remembers an America that was proud of herself; that even though she stumbled, she knew she stood for freedom and what was right in the world. An America that didn't bend over backwards to "apologize" to the rest of the world for how evil and terrible she is. A nation of legal immigrants, assimilating as one, not notched out enclaves demanding bi-lingual everything and diversity to divide.
Yet, though the America he remembers is far from the America of today, he is an optimist with hope eternal. November 2010 showed that no matter how powerful a few elites see themselves in their mirrors, the only true power is still with the voters. Just as the Founders intended those many years ago.
AND, unlike Dwain Bwain Graham and The Erstwhile Conservative blog, Caldwell's Corner does not arbitrarily ban comementators based upon the author's like or dislike. As long as they follow the basic Globe guidelines, ALL comments will be allowed and posted, no matter the subject, no matter the point of view. We are all here as guests of a newspaper site and as such The Corner feels it imperative we pay the same respect to the First Amendment as our host.
Thanks for visiting The Corner. My objective is to inform and to facilitate conversation on area issues, people and political events. Agree or disagree with the posts, your input is valued, appreciated and will be read.
