Who am I and Why am I here?
Who am I and Why am I here? These are some words from a speech given by a great American, the late Admiral James Stockdale. I thought that they would be appropriate to start my blog.
Who am I?
I am an American Taxpayer, a registered independent voter that tends to vote conservatively. I am a Christian, a husband and father of two lovely children. I am a homeowner, a gun owner, a hunter, and an owner of a Harley Davidson and a believer in the constitution of the United States of America. I also work for a living!
Why am I here?
I'm here because I find myself more and more caught up in the politics of the day. And with each passing day I find myself more and more needing to express myself. Each day I hear liberal democrats and liberal talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, NPR, PBS and CSPAN. The more that I hear Christiane Amanpour, Janeane Garofolo, Al Franken, Randi Rhones, Teddy Kennedy, Hillary, DICK Durbin, His Exalted Cyclops, Robert Byrd and others of their ilk, the angrier I get! I have been writing emails to these folks and to others to get them to tell the truth and to show them that they do not represent the views of the American people any more than I do. I have never heard a reply from any of them. I finally got so fed up with their crap, that I thought I would add my voice to the mix!I don't know if anyone will read my blog, or if anyone will care what I write.
The blogosphere does however give me a chance to vent and to counter some of their lies. I hope that you enjoy reading my thoughts and that at least some of what I say strikes a chord in some people.
