Rational Nation USA

Hi, I'm Pamela D. Hart and I was given an incredible compliment this past week from Les, the owner and host of this “humble”, as he describes it, blog. He asked me to contribute as an author because it’s his wish to expand on his independent conservative views by adding unique and independent thinkers and believed I fit that description. I am truly humbled that Les feels I’m an independent thinker as well as a creative writer and he also complimented me highly when he told me he was impressed by my attempt to retain my conservative values while engaging those with a Liberal ideology. He said he believed this to be true bipartisanship and something he would like to achieve at Rational Nation USA. Les would like to encompass a wider range of rational political ideas and opinions here at Rational Nation USA because he believes, as I do, that this type of discussion is constructive.

Dear Readers, We have finished making all the changes and tweaks that Wes Messamore announced some time ago, and are ready to launch the new and improved Rational Nation USA! Wes is doing this professionally and hopes to make a living doing the two things he loves the most: indulging his creativity and helping conservative and libertarian bloggers become more effective at what they do, so as to help spread and defend the message of liberty to a country that so desperately needs to hear it.

Rational Nation USA is in the process of evolving, and as such is devoting the time this week to put into place the changes envisioned over the past five months. Posting will likely be spotty this week as the changes require time with Rational Nation USA's site re-designer and web consultant. We ask your understanding and patience as we put the final touches to this weeks "transition" and roll out. Rational Nation USA's vision is to evolve into a sight that all can find value and insight. While the publisher remains, as always, the "independent" conservative, the vision for the site is to be one where political opinions and discourse runs the spectrum of political ideas. As always Rational Nation USA is committed to rational, reasoned, and thoughtful discourse. Disrespectful or vulgar comments will continue to  be met with the swift and decisive "delete key" without comment. More later this week.
