Hobbies include: Displays of self-righteous indignation, vitriolic abuse of egalitarians, leftists and commies, and espousing unpopular political beliefs... and cooking.

I’m one of the few posters who actually lives in Philadelphia (there’s 2 others that I know of ). One of my hot buttons is people who try to paint the entire city as a dump. Yeah, there’s some really ugly areas, but there’s also a lot of great, really livable places too. People who don’t recognize this are speaking from ignorance.

I tend to make some outrageous comments from time to time in an attempt at humor, so if you’re reading this to find out “Who’s this idiot who calls himself Owl_Eagle” I’m probably just kidding.

Oh, the name. You know, I really kind of wish I’d put a little more thought into it, but, I’ve made some friends and acquaintances around here and I’d hate to have to go re-introduce myself.

""Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage—the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors."- Ayn Rand

"To truly be a leftist, one has to make conscious efforts throughout adult life to ignore truth, common sense, and the principles of Liberty and individual rights. Groupthink, political correctness, and other quasi-socialist processes must fill the void. This belief system is bereft of intellect and reason; indeed, it is the refuge of the uninspired, and is the polar opposite of the principles that this nation was founded upon."

President Bush had to ask himself: "If I remove Saddam and learn later that he did not have weapons of mass destruction after all, how would that compare to leaving him in place-and learning only after he used them or enabled terrorists to use them that he did in fact possess the chemical and biological weapons that all Western intelligence organizations as well as United Nations inspectors believed him to have hidden away?" Where intelligence is uncertain, prudent leaders will inevitably minimize risk by erring on the side of the worst possible assumption. And rightly so. -
