I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I consider myself above all to be an American, above political parties in thinking and in my desire to see this country return to its former greatness. I therefore look at all issues with a critical eye, toss out the political propaganda and make up my own mind. I am opinionated and set in my ways, it takes some powerful convincing to change my mind once its set.
