Grew up on a family farm. Newberry business school grad, now retired from a career in the fire service after being drawn to the profession while volunteering during college, yet have to work to pay my unfair tax burden. Fiscal conservative, slightly moderate socially, on the federal level I am a strict Constitutionalist......if it isn't specifically spelled out for the federal government then it isn't a federal requirement.

Don't particularly give a damn if fags marry.....I figure they'll pay for their sin on judgement day. Don't want my children being indoctrinated by the government that homosexuality is "natural" because if it were natural then there would be a path for two homosexual beings to procreate.

I figure I must be privileged according to the narrative. I'm a white male who votes conservative yet I'm willing to bet good money that unlike the leftists on this board I know that I have more open invitations to black churches, family functions, etc. I'm proudly the godfather of six black children and am more than willing to fulfill that responsibility. One is the daughter of a childhood friend, the rest are the children of guys who worked under me. My oldest was the godson of my first Captain....a black man. Go figure.

I believe in helping your fellow man, but working in the profession I did I have seen how so many abuse the welfare system the leftists love so much. We need mandatory drug testing and legitimate proof of job searches in our social welfare programs. When you spend 20 years voluntarily working to protect the "poor" like they did and the VAST majority live a better life than you do there is am f'ing problem.

I've tried several times to get with the libertarian movement but every time I do they go off the reservation so far I can't get behind the national party because they are a bunch of morons.

Never voted straight ticket, but the only dims I have ever voted for would at best be called "blue dogs". They are a fossil.....I would rather the modern dims just admit they are socialists and be done with it.

That's who I am. Piss on you if you don't like it.
