About

This website publishes out of San Francisco, a beautiful but troubled (because of Liberals) city.  I have had ample opportunity to learn how life looks when Liberals try and govern every aspect of your life.  It is too bad California is such a badly run place as there is great natural beauty, some of the best Dim Sum West of Asia, and wonderful weather.

However, our freedoms are constantly under attack.

During the 15 years I have been living in California I have become acutely aware of how my fellow citizens in other states have greater freedoms than I do.  Over-regulation, absurd Liberal laws, and the election of Barack Obama in a post-9/11 world encouraged me to begin this website.

The only thing we can control in life is how we choose to live our life.  As a result, I tend to lean towards the Conservative side fiscally and militarily speaking while I take a more laissez-faire view of social issues as long as they do not negatively affect the rest of the population.

My belief system is more “live and let live” than telling people how I think they should behave.  If someone wants to piss their life away that’s their business, just don’t do it on my dime.

I take a critical eye towards high taxation, large government, social engineering strategies, the belief that the United States is the biggest problem in the world, and “Group Think” and, as a result, Capitol Commentary tends to focus more on these issues than others.

Having grown up in Washington D.C. and having lived in Europe for two years I bring these experiences into the views I express in the articles found on Capitol Commentary.

I define my beliefs as those of an Exitentialist:

One’s values are immutable; a consideration of one’s values may cause one to reconsider and change them. A consequence of this fact is that one is not only responsible for one’s actions, but also for the values one holds. This entails that a reference to common values doesn’t excuse the individual’s actions: Even though these are the values of the society the individual is part of, they are also his own in the sense that she/he could choose them to be different at any time. Thus, the focus on freedom in existentialism is related to the limits of the responsibility one bears as a result of one’s freedom: the relationship between freedom and responsibility is one of interdependency, and a clarification of freedom also clarifies that for which one is responsible.

The aim of this website is essentially to look at what our elected officials say then report back on what they do.  Articles here are generally focused on what the Democrats are doing (or not as is usually the case) however this does not mean Republicans get a free pass.

I hope you enjoy the articles on this website.  Feel free to be in touch should you so desire.
