.........Is this thing on?

Well, welcome back. Or should i say that to myself. As you can tell it has been a long time since this blog has been active. And there has been a few reasons as to why.

Beginning in September of 2009 I became the Chairman of the Spartanburg County Libertarian Party. With that post i felt that I needed to focus my time and effort on the party. During that time we went through county organization, the election of 2010, fielded a candidate for US House of Representatives District 4 (a great man named Rick Mahler), and then continued on. However with my job taking more and more of my time and effort i felt it was time to step down from that role. So earlier this year i resigned the post of Chairman of the county party and took a break from just about everything. The main reason for taking the break was due to being burnt out. Burnt out on politics, burnt out on the party, burnt out due to the election results. Just burnt out. There were some others reasons as well. But now is not the time and here is not the place to discuss this.

So here we are, almost two years since my last post and ta-da, I'm Back. Now with being back i plan to hit the ground running and make this blog live up to the dreams and aspirations i have had since the beginning. Something you would enjoy, something I would enjoy, a sounding board for me to be heard from (my own soap box of sorts). And while my views are still the same as before, my viewpoint has changed. While i still believe our government is at fault for the state of our country, there is also some sinister forces outside this government fiddling around with the working of this government essentially making it a government beyond our control. But i will get into that more as we go along.

So while the name is still (for now) Spartanburg Libertarian, this blog is not going to stick to Libertarian Issues, topics, or party related items. It will be a entire smorgasborg of topics, ideas, and viewpoints (mainly, but not strictly, Libertarian).

I am trying to reach out to a few select people to potentially have some guest writers and bloggers to post here on topics that they want to blog on. If you are one, or possibly know some. Feel free to let me know and we will go from there.

So i'm glad to be back and its time to start the engines and get this moving.


Viva Liberty!
