VERY happily married 42-year old white male, father of 2 boys.  Published author.  Look around here and you just might find a sample excerpt from "Heart of Honor," a fantasy novel.   My political values are Conservative and I see nothing to apologize for. It's not Right vs. Left -- it's right vs. wrong.

My youngest son is a sophomore in high school, studying to be an electrician. He's a fine athlete who plays baseball and runs track. Honors student who has the respect of his shop teachers. He's become a terrific young man with good values and the courage to use them. I'd love to take credit for the way my kids are turning out, but frankly even the best sculptor can't do anything unless he's got good clay. I shaped them, molded them, but their raw materials were good from the start. They make me damned proud!

In 2005 my eldest son decided to join the United States Marines -- the finest fighting men ever to wield weaponry. He made the decision even though he knew we were at war. He has become a fine, strong young man with a noble heart and values that make his father damned proud of him. He is also a talented musician who plays guitar, keyboard and some drums, and sings better than he realizes. He has exceeded my every expectation. He's out of the military now, after two tours overseas, from which he returned safely. He'll be going to college soon to earn his degree.

I know that each one of us therefore owes each of our heroes a debt that we can never hope to repay. Thus the very least we can do is show them the respect they've earned, and give them whatever comforts we can when they come home. So, visitors to this page and readers of my blogs are hereby warned that no disrespect of any kind toward our soldiers will be tolerated. I'm sorry that the most I can do is block such people; if I could wring their necks, I would do it gladly and rid the world of their foolishness. I would finish with a "Semper Fidelis" but sadly I never earned the privilege. So I'll just have to say, "Come home with your shield, or on it. Keep your chin up and your head down."
