The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

We conservatives saw Bush 41 betray us on taxes, Bush 43 on spending, TARP, and nation building. We don't want fake conservatives anymore.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 23, 2016
I know Vichy Conservatives/Republicans like Hannity and Coulter will try to blame real pro-liberty conservatives like me for Trump's loss.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 23, 2016
I do want to send a rebuke that the office of the Presidency cannot be bought by some megalomaniac authoritarian wannabe like Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 23, 2016
Contrary to the Trump cultists, I don't want Clinton to win in landslide. I don't want anyone to a claim a mandate for Statist policies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 23, 2016
@realDonaldTrump Man up, you unprincipled whiner. You've been the chosen one by Drudge and Breitbart. You've gotten the most coverage EVER!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 24, 2016
Trump is back making wild promises he can't keep: that people won't get shot while he's POTUS. How? Public safety is a local, not fed issue.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 24, 2016

Musical Interlude: My Favorite Vocalists
BJ Thomas, "The Eyes of a New York Woman". My first college girlfriend (first girlfriend, period, since I graduated HS at 16) was from New York (I often say that only good thing that came out of NY). I was the campus geek, and I couldn't believe that an older (22 yo) sweet gorgeous blonde was interested in me (in fact, she asked me out first (even the dorm playboy was congratulating me)). It turns out some women are attracted to smart dudes. She wanted a commitment from me (I was just 18, still a year from my degree) or she would move to a Catholic Pentecostal commune in the Dallas area (I've written about our first, only fight--she wanted skeptical me to go to a Pentecostal service. When a guy started "speaking in tongues", I was like "Oh, come on!"--she was pissed and then got up and started babbling--and I was mortified and pissed); I wanted her to stay, but I wasn't going to take responsibility for her decision. I haven't heard from her since, but I loved her. I know it was the right decision at the time, but woulda, coulda, shoulda. We would have made beautiful, faithful children.
