About O’Dowd for Pragmatic Politics Blog
Welcome to O’Dowd Politics where we will dive deep into the inner workings of the political environment of the United States of America. Though I am a Republican, and make no apologies about it; I hope to keep a critical eye on both parties, using their key principles to evaluate their moves and postures, hoping to discern whether Washington is keeping us as a “city on a hill”–an example of freedom and liberty to the world.
“For we must consider that we shall be a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world.” — John Winthrop
In this blog we will look closely at the key principles of the U.S., consider the motivations of each political party, and focus on whether politicians are providing real, pragmatic solutions, or simply pandering for votes. I hope you will stay tuned for a wild ride into the darkest, dingiest, and deepest crevasses of politics to see if there is a way forward through the political morass that binds our country.
Happy reading!

Thanks for following my blog. I look forward to reading yours and seeing if at least this Democrat (me) and you (Republican) can reach agreement on some issues.
Thanks! Agreement might be tough but the dialogue will be rewarding! 🙂
