A conservative for the past forty some years. Before that. I was just a stupid kid,then young adult. Still pretty stupid.
NO. I am not a proud United States Marine. Only the proud uncle of a nephew that is now a former Marine. He spent two tours in Al Anbar province Iraq. Then after active duty is now on second tour in some rather remote FOB’s in southern Afghanistan, as a civilian contractor Intel specialist. So I take it very seriously, how our elected leaders and senior military brass plan and execute battle plans against the nation of Islam in it’s misguided at best attempts over the ages to in some of their minds represent what the Lord God who made all things believes is appropriate.

In short. Islam is a clever cult that emerged to offer the locals in western Arabia at the time control over all the local camel humpers, with of course the evil influences through the mind of the so called prophet via. Satan's cunning means of persuasion. Can't state it with more accuracy then that.

Over the years while a member of Free Republic, I have attempted to always be not only objective on issues but at the same time fair for those that have struggled often with various issues.
I have left out my profile as to where I had worked over the years in case things get nasty.
Most here, strive for the truth. So do I. God bless you all. George
