Conservative (just to the right of Reagan) Software Engineer guy from O.C. in Southern California. Whiskey Pete is a handle I was given at a place over here in O.C. called Cooks Corner. I advocate "Peace through Strength" and "Limited Government." At a tender age of 17 my father made me read The Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn; a real eye opener that showed the evils of communism. Of course, I could also mention books by Ayn Rand, but that would be name-dropping. ;-)

Favorite slogan: Taxation is theft.
