Hi, My name is Patrick. Been trying to post for a while but with the hurricane it's been difficult.
I'm a writer...mostly historical fiction in the style of James Michener; but with an Upton Sinclair bend.....and a 'dash' of John Grisham.
Graduated from U Michigan all the way back in 1980, then worked at Clorox, P&G, and Henkel. Then, went on to International business at Krupp Polysius. Decided to go get my PhD and went to Georgia Institute of Technology for 8 years. I got out then started working for Delta. I hated that job, so I decided to travel. Travel really opened up my eyes to a lot of different things.
I'll be honest, I am actually "liberal" on a lot of domestic and social issues. Mainly because I don't mind what other people, I prefer not to judge lest I be judged and to live and let live as the Bible says. Where I differ from some but not all other "liberals" is that I am an unconditional supporter of Israel and the Jewish people and a critic of Arabs and Islam. So that's why I am here, so I can discuss issues of foreign affairs and give my support to Israel and her wonderful people in a friendly environment. I feel we must support Israel, because if they fall, we are next. If Israel falls, any hope of a better, more tolerant tomorrow, is gone, replaced by the tyranny of Islamification and shariah law.
