Bachmann's hair tab and its impact on America

In review of articles for posting, I decided to stay away from the discussion of the last few weeks- that being of the debt ceiling.  I have already drafted blog articles on three occasions dealing with this topic.  Instead, I came across this gem of an article about the most feared Republican in the presidential race.

That would be Michelle Bachmann.

Now, before I dive into the article itself, why do I think she is the most feared?  Because she is a woman.  Liberals love to champion the women of this world, those that are successful and who have escaped the boot on their throat of the men in their life.  Unless that woman is a Republican.

But I digress.

The article itself criticizes Michelle Bachmann's $4,700.00 hair and make-up bill thus far in the election cycle.  Setting aside the fact that it would be more expensive to pay someone to come from Maryland to do your hair and make-up, I admit that $4,700.00 is quite a bit to pay for hair and make-up.

So what?  Who cares?

Why do I say this?  For one of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives.  You see, Michelle Bachmann is spending her own money.  The article discussed her "crusade against government spending and her demand that America live within its means".  And she is right.  America spends to much, saves nothing, and does not live within her means.  But that is not to say that individual Americans cannot do what they choose with their own money.

I would like to think that fiscal conservatives will understand the difference between spending her own money and her recommendations on the money provided to the government by U.S. taxpayers.  Liberals love to spend money, and they love to spend the money of other people.  And, they love to tell other people how to spend their own money.  It seems nothing will change this election cycle.

A fresh start, and a return to where it all began

After a long hiatus from the independent blogging world, I have returned with a fresh perspective and a zest for bringing you the conservative perspective.  I have been transplanted from a conservative oasis in Southern California to the center of the lion's den, liberal Northern California.  As my commitment to other blogging/reporting ventures is now complete, I am free to return to my roots.

And what better way to do that, then through a new blog.  I started this blogging/internet thing a few years back and never looked back.  Over time, I branched off from my own blog onto other sites and provided contribution for my dear readers.  And now that I can return to where it all began, I choose to pick up here, where I left off.  A blog dedicated to bringing you, dear reader, the conservative side of the story.  A side that is usually not mentioned, discussed, or applauded in today's media.

And with that in mind, I ask for you to return from time to time to join me in discussing all things political, social, funny and even insane.

I wish you a pleasant evening-

The Northern California Conservative
