Born in the midwest, have lived in the South a long time. So I'm mother, gardner, southern, female, moderate politically, a computer nerd by profession and drive a pickup truck (in reference to all those DUmmie rants about southerns and their pickup trucks). My son is a combat medic in the Army Reserve - I am particularly concerned about the direction our Congress is taking with regard to our Military.

"The pacifist actually refuses to defend what defends him; his country. In the final analysis this is the most basic immoral position." General George S. Patton
