About

The Author

While I could give all sorts of biographical details about myself, I think it is more important at this point in our nation’s history to clarify who I am rather than what I do.

I am a Patriot.  Recently, I’ve been called an “ePatriot.”  I like that.

Truth, justice and the American Way is more than a phrase.  This country has a heritage unique in the world because of our particular combination of capitalism and Christianity, of liberty and the rule of law.  I am unalterably opposed  to those who seek to use our rational, fair-minded institutions to destroy us.

America is the last great hope of Western civilization.  It is the West that has given mankind its greatest achievements.  Period.  No other civilization comes close.  While we have a necessary capacity for self-examination, we must not allow ourselves to fall victim to our critics who are mostly jealous of our success.

Biographically, I am a former military officer and assistant professor of political science.  I am also a geek.  Technology is my business, politics and history my passion.  I write this blog as I have time.  I’m one of the 40% of Americans who support the rest by paying taxes.

What I am not is a reporter. I do report the facts as I know them and cite sources where appropriate, according to my academic and intelligence community training. My observations and opinions are my own; I do not represent nor claim to speak for anyone else or any organization.

This is a moderated blog. The first time you comment you won’t see your comment appear until I can approve it. I approve everything unless it is mindless vitriol; when the trolls don’t have the satisfaction of seeing their hate appear immediately they move on so I haven’t been troubled much by it. Occasionally I will correct an obvious spelling error or typo but otherwise your comment appears exactly as you submitted it. Thanks for reading and for taking the time to reply.
