  • Constitutional conservative patriot
Hello
« on: March 28, 2011, 08:04:23 AM »
I have been asked by Thor to introduce myself and provide some background, so here goes.

I am a constitutional conservative patriot. I believe in states rights'. I also believe that the Federal (lack of) Government has blackmailed the states into relinquishing these rights as guaranteed by our Constitution. I believe that Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan were two of this Republics greatest heroes. I proudly served in the US Navy, and have enjoyed manageing my construction business for 27 years. I also believe that the infestation of illegals into our nation will eventually be our downfall if not stopped and reversed. Married 35 years. Three great, smart, good-lookin' kids. I like fast cars, old whiskey, and good cigars.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
John F. Kennedy

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
Ronald Reagan

Well, it's certainly not a crime to be chauffered.

I got your "hot toddy" alright. I'd be careful though. Us Sailors have been known to pull pranks like "rimming a person's cup" or other nefarious "pranks"..... :wink:

Welcome! most of my family was Army and Marines but my Dad was in the Merchant Marines and my Cousin was aboard the USS Nimitz, so I've always been partial to the Navy.
