I am a fiscal conservative and ardent capitalist. Failure is part of captalism; accept it. A registered Republican, I tilt to the center. I consider myself an environmentalist, I am Pro-choice, I believe in the right to bear arms, but have zero problem with gun registration. I accept "alternative life styles", but do not believe it is a healthy scenario for the long-term. I believe the Federal Governemnt has been over stepping its constitutional authority for decades, many decades. Too much of what the Feds are involved in should be left to the State and Local authorities. I am convinced that 90% of our country's ills could be cured with two simple changes, 1) Term Limits and 2) Line Item Veto.

I cherish debating and bantering. I enjoy engaging those of different philosophies, but have a general disdain for uneducated opinions. History gives us too many facts. I shy away from engaging the ignorant, they tend to beat me with their experience.

Lastly, economics is my forte. Deficit spending, whether it is the Government printing money or the individual living off credit cards and/or other lines of credit, will guarantee a demise scenario. Live within your means. Owning a home is an American dream, not a "right". As my father drilled into my brain, 'if you don't have the cash, you can't afford it'
