Hello, America! I am extremely excited to be writing to you this evening, as I officially begin my journey as editor-in-chief of UrbanConservative.com. My name is Billy Hallowell and I am honored to introduce myself to you all.
I have been a contributor to this site for the past two years. I am a journalist and commentator who has been working in media for nearly 11 years (Im 26, so I started fairly young). In 2003, I founded Pathufind Media and I am currently the host of RENEWtv, a web show devoted to renewing American conservatism. And now, Im officially a member of the Urban Conservative family!
But enough about me. You can surely read more on my Web site, but Im guessing youre most interested in what will be happening here on UrbanConservative.com! Tomorrow, we will become a daily publication. Many of you have been actively reading UC for years. This new change will afford you even more access to valuable news and information!
Youll notice weve launched a plethora of new topics. While these subjects are of great importance to American politics, please be patient as we build our content around them (i.e. there may be a lag before all topics have streaming content). But, we will be branching into new and uncharted news categories, as you can see.
Also, in November, my show RENEWtv will officially join forces with Urban Conservative.
These are just some of the changes in store as we move forward! Please be patient as we transition, add new blogs to the CONLISTand forge our path moving forward. I thank you for your support and readership and I look forward to serving you!
Well, it’s been a while since I last wrote; and I am only writing now due to recent developments in the Middle East.
Just yesterday, in an interview with The Atlantic, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel could go it alone and attack Iran if the country went nuclear. He said in unusually blunt language (according to the article) of the Iranian leadership, “You don’t want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs. When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the entire world should start worrying, and that is what is happening in Iran†… and dammit, he is absolutely right. A nuclear Iran would surely wreak havoc not only in the Middle East but the world abroad.
He also said that “The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons … and that Israel would not necessarily need American approval to launch an attack.â€Â This will prove to be Obamas first major test in the Middle East.
The issue, in my opinion, is not Israel’s Military capability. Foreign leadership across the globe knows that Israel does not play games when it comes to protecting their land from foreign invasion. Past history is clear that those who attack Israel get dealt with very badly – no holds barred, no protesting from Code Pink, no congressional approval, no remorse. The question here is simple. Does Netanyahu have the stomach to launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities? I think he does.
Now will someone from Mossad go shut Chavez the hell up? His big mouth rhetoric is sickening to my ears.
