Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

Planning For The Long Haul (or, Taking Over The Party Isn't The Real Objective)

It's been almost two months since the MIGOP 2013 State Convention and the House vote on 2013-HB-4111 tweaked the ire of the constitutional conservatives in the liberty movement, and I'm already starting to see evidence of discohesion amongst the grassroots activists. By this I mean that the righteous outrage over the House yielding on the ObamaCare Exchanges and the resolve to make sure that the blueblood elites don't go back to using the grassroots as an outhouse is already starting to dissipate amongst the discussion of the latest "headline" political distraction.

Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov was a Russian born, KGB trained subverter who defected to Canada in 1970 after becoming discouraged with the Soviet system. About a dozen years later, he lectured in Los Angeles under his nom de plume (Tomas David Schuman) and gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin (under his real name), in which he provided a detailed description of the process by which Moscow would quietly take over an enemy nation (specifically explaining the methods being used by the KGB for the gradual subversion of the political and economic systems of the United States). Regardless of which video you prefer to watch, either is a rather an eye-opening explanation of just how thoroughly screwed this country really is, as well as critical information that the true American patriots need in order to prevent (or at least forestall) our nation's collapse.

Stop yelling.. Just cut the power

Years ago when I was a teenager, my brother would find a time when my other brothers/and or I were listening to the radio and strike up a conversation. Then every now and again when we weren't looking he would ever so slightly turn the volume up, so that after about 20 minutes we would be yelling at each other, never even realizing the volume had gotten so high. He was through incrementalism, able to change our environment without us even realizing it was happening. Does it sound familiar?

Often, the true conservative is admonished by those [moderates] who claim it is a little absurd to object to minor changes in public policy, such as seat belt legislation, those seen in gun laws, or even in environmental mandates. These are either "necessary issues," as some claim, or perhaps even those "which can't hurt to pass, as it doesn't take anything away." So, because it isn't TOO important, the conservative is sectioned off and separated from the herd to fall to the wolves. But the conservative has always been right.
