Favorite Quote:

Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people's countries, and keep them from grabbing slices of his. And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood of his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man"- with his mouth.

About Me:

I'm a progressive and Liberal American; the father of four kids, one of whom is a Marine whose unit has deployed to Iraq for a second tour; an active-duty Army veteran and Air Force National Guard veteran who vehemently opposes the illegal invasion and occupation of that war-torn country. I'm also a native-born Texan who was brought up in the south suburban Chicagoland area.
