The name 'dirtymac' was given to me when in the US Coast Guard in the late '60s. On our base in Hawaii we had three guys with a surname of mac--- something. The really big guy was tagged as 'big mac', the really little guy was tagged 'little mac' and since I was the assistant bar tender on the base EM club with a title of bar back, a friend tagged me with 'dirty mac the bar back' . This quickly turned to dirty mac and has been around in some form ever since.

I am a very conservative individual with a little social liberal bent. I strongly believe that we need to help the less fortunate of us like widows and orphans as prescribed in the bible. Helping is very different from taking care of which is a paternalistic leftist attitude that is a cheap and mean spirited way to power. it takes advatage of peoples fear. Jesus said: "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh." - - (Luke 21:28) Nine Principles To Believe In 1. America is good place, not perfect, but good. 2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life. 3. I must try to be a better, more honest person than I was yesterday. 4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority. 5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. 6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and not a guarantee of equal results. 7. I work hard for what I have. I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. 8. It is not un-American for me to disagree or share my personal opinion. 9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them. They answer to me.
