All American Blogger
About Duane Lester, Lead Writer Duane Lester is co-founder of All American Blogger, and the primary writer. Following graduation, Duane entered the United States Navy as a journalist. He spent five years touring the world, reporting on local news and sports. Following his enlistment, Duane spent almost 10 years working with adjudicated youth in residential treatment environments. Duane discovered politics after September 11. He credits Erich “Mancow” Muller for opening his eyes to his conservative beliefs. Since then, Duane has devoured books and literature on politics, reading everything he can from Adam Smith to Larry Elder to Thomas Sowell. He refers to his style of politics as “conserva-tarian,” a mixture of conservative and libertarian beliefs. Andrew Riley, Webmaster Andrew Riley [andrewriley.net] is the co-founder of All American Blogger, as well as the webmaster and an occasional contributor. He was born and raised in Missouri farm country, served in the United States Army under commander-in-chief Ronald Reagan, and blames Ross Perot for getting him interested in politics. Contributors Accuracy in Media “Accuracy in Media is a citizens’ media watchdog whose mission is to promote accuracy, fairness and balance in news reporting. AIM exposes politically motivated media bias; teaches consumers to think critically about their news sources; and holds the mainstream press accountable for its misreporting.” Terms of Service We love the blogosphere because it embraces frank and open conversation. But frankness does not have to mean lack of civility. We encourage personal expression and constructive conversation. 1. We take responsibility for our own words and for the comments we allow on our blog. We will not post unacceptable content, and we’ll delete comments that contain it. We define unacceptable content as anything included or linked to that: - is being used to abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others - is libelous, knowingly false, ad-hominem, or misrepresents another person, - infringes upon a copyright or trademark - violates an obligation of confidentiality - violates the privacy of others We define and determine what is “unacceptable content” on a case-by-case basis, and our definitions are not limited to this list. If we delete a comment or link, we will say so and explain why. [We reserve the right to change these standards at any time with no notice.] 2. We won’t say anything online that we wouldn’t say in person. 3. We connect privately before we respond publicly. When we encounter conflicts and misrepresentation in the blogosphere, we make every effort to talk privately and directly to the person(s) involved–or find an intermediary who can do so–before we publish any posts or comments about the issue. 4. When we believe someone is unfairly attacking another, we take action. When someone who is publishing comments or blog postings that are offensive, we’ll tell them so (privately, if possible) and ask them to publicly make amends. If published comments could be construed as a threat, and the perpetrator doesn’t withdraw them and apologize, we will cooperate with law enforcement to protect the target of the threat. 5. We do not allow anonymous comments. We require commenters to supply a valid email address before they can post, though we allow commenters to identify themselves with an alias, rather than their real name. 6. We ignore the trolls. We prefer not to respond to nasty comments about us or our blog, as long as they don’t veer into abuse or libel. We believe that feeding the trolls only encourages them — “Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it.” Ignoring public attacks is often the best way to contain them. If you have any questions about these terms, feel free to contact us. This code of conduct is a slightly modified version of Tim O’Reilly’s “Blogger’s Code of Conduct“. all american links "Kwanzaa is like a bad weave.
