Hello. I’m Ali A. Akbar.
Many of you may already know me as the logical Conservative with the moderate approach to things.
There will be more to come. Look forward to watching this site change as I make modifications. I apologize ahead of time if there are any glitches.
For now you can find some of my other work at: Blogs4McCain.com, RazorPolitics.org, and MySpace.com/alitalks. Much more to come my friends.

Be sure and come on in!
MySpace gets a Redesign Finally
Finally MySpace works up enough courage to redesign their homepage. Unfortunately there are many UI and functionality flaws. Besides copying facebook on absolutely everything they can (or try) - must they also half-butt their design?
This is the closing round. I stated a very long time ago that if Romney and Giuliani let McCain survive to Super Tuesday, that would be his day.
There’s a story out about it, so I suppose I can go ahead and confirm it. It’s true. Senator John McCain will be rolling out endorsements over the [...]
Apparently only Republicans care about Florida, since Howard Dean and the DNC decided to take all delegates away from Democratic voters..
Last night’s major loss was probably a surprise to the Romney camp. While McCain had the endorsements from Senator Mel Martinez, which frankly came at no surprise, and Governor Charlie Crist, there were several factors [...]
Growing Scandals in South Carolina
If you thought the political divide in 2000 was rough, check out the latest happenings of the Republican Primary. For those of you who don’t know. South Carolina was won by President George W. Bush during the race for the Republican nomination and stopped Senator John McCain’s momentum when McCain fell victim of the [...]
Senator John McCain in South Carolina
I’ve always had a pleasurable time listening to the McCain articulate his governing strategy and of course a little straight talk. In a blogger’s conference call that seemed dominated by the same Conservative publications that declared his campaign dead several months ago.
The Senator sounded full of energy and unusually excited going to his fourth event [...]
Recently I wrote a piece entitled, “Huckabee, Give Me a Break.” Because of my roots in the theological community, and more specifically the Southern Baptist community, I was aware of the political pulse of the largest evangelical group.
Syndicated Columnist and media guru Robert Novak touched on this point earlier today. He’s always precise and very [...]
We seriously might be the more fickle party of the two. Right when it looks like we might, just might, have a fighting chance we are told to support someone else. Gov. Mike Huckabee is likeable. Sure. So?
Let’s take a look a Huckabee.
As a Conservative he has a troubled record. As a Governor he was [...]
While New York Mayor and business Billionaire, Michael Bloomberg has told about everyone on earth that he has “no intention” of running for President in 2008, there is serious speculation about his bid.
The speculation has plagued my email inbox and sometimes the Internet Radio shows that I’m honored to be a guest on. Actually, I’ll [...]
Recently I wrote an article entitled, A Republican Need. I received an encouraging comment telling me that I sent out a “call to arms.” I was moved and proud.
Now, just one day later I write with the same passion and a greater resolve. I’m calling all to arms!
McCain and I once discussed Internet Taxation and [...]

Hello Ali,
I like your new website design…
But please consider not being a moderate.
1964 Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, the granddaddy of Conservatism (called Mr. Conservative by the GOP), stated at the 1964 Republican National Convention, “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!” Even though Goldwater lost the election, he brought conservatives into control of the Party for good. He also got the moderate Rockefeller Republicans to be forever enshrined as RINOs (Republicans in Name Ony).
Read the Conscience of a Conservative by Goldwater if you haven’t already done so. This guy is the embodiment of conservatism in the Republican Party.

Julian my friend - Goldwater is a FAMOUS Centrist Conservative. Great conservative and most reasonable of men. He reached across the isle more than you would want him to.
The Republican party currently tries to cater to Conservatives… remember at one point it was vice versa. I’m a Conservative always and a Republican currently.
Read Goldwater’s complete works. You might be surprised.

Ali, I see you’ve decided to branch out from Myspace, I’ll have to add you to my blogroll on my site now.
While I would never vote for your candidate, McCain I’ve enjoyed reading your postings on myspace and look forward to seeing what you’ve got coming now that you gotten yourself your own domain.
Julian - GREAT QUOTE, I’ve actually been re-reading concious of a Conservative lately as its been quite some time since I read it last. I’ve been planning on writing a post for my blog in the coming days about how if you take the chapter about the Soviet Menace and replace the word “Soviet” with “Islamofascist” it totally meshes with today.
