An Introduction to Crystal McIntire Boyd

     They call me the Commodore. I'm not exactly sure why. I suspect it’s my bossy nature and tendency to lead, especially if it leading to trouble. I can be a wild woman but most of the time I'm oddly reflective. Highly neurotic, I'm constantly examining everything around me and in the world. I'd like to think of it as a pursuit for a higher meaning but I suspect it’s just an effort to make sense of the insane events that happen in our world and to me specifically.


My goals in life are varied and conflicting. I wish I could tell you what I want to do but I don't have a clue. I have a deadline for that hanging over my head, swinging like a pendulum that may signal my likely doom. Did I mention my flair for drama? No one does it better. I'm not a drama queen, I'm the drama Empress.


A great deal of this will be about conservative politics. It’s not my passion but it’s one of them. I want to be the Lady Gaga of conservatism. Shocking but undoubtedly talented. And Famous. Definitely Famous.


I believe in limited Government, common sense policy, fiscal responsibility and beating anyone who screws with us bloody. When it comes to foreign policy, I believe in carrying a stick, talking softly and having a hell of a lot of nuclear bombs to back your ass up. I suppose I would be a true libertarian except I believe that if someone threatens you, you hit them first and below the belt. It's called WAR not a freaking cotillion and the only point of fighting is winning. We can save the Marquis of Queensbury rules for when lives aren't on the line.


I believe we are the fulfillment of the Chinese curse that says: May you live in Interesting times.


However, whether we live in the worst of times or the best of times, it’s the only time we have. I sometimes feel like we are on the cusp of a renaissance and then some time I almost can hear the gurgle as slowly the world slides down the drain. Whatever the case may be, I hope this blog will be there to chronicle it.
