Gopher, I'll make a list for you and you can place me in whatever political party you see fit. Okay? Here goes.
I've never voted and have never even registered to vote. I'm 53. To me it does not matter who is in office.
I own more firearms than I'm comfortable admitting online. Call me a gun nut and you would not be far off. But with all those guns I do not and have never carried one around in daily business like a manly man. Not my thing for I do not feel threatened in day to day activity.
"The Bridges Of Madison County" is my favorite movie and book.
Boxing is my favorite sport to watch. I like the new cage fighting too.
Gay people in no way offend or bother me. Being called a queer is not an insult to me. Being called a right winger is highly offensive.
I pay more federal income tax in one year than most Americans earn in a decade. This does not bother me one little bit. It means I've earned a good deal to begin with.
I barely finished high school and could not pass a GED test if you gave it to me today. At 18 I could not afford college and neither could my parents.
I speak 2 languages. A good Cuban Spanish and a good deal of "American".
I would have fought in WW2 but not Vietnam.
I'm not a dove. In fact, I honestly believe in first strike nuclear attacks against targets like those in the Middle East. I hate to see American kids getting chewed up on the ground fighting in an archaic fashion. If you are going to be a super power, than be one.
My sister and me contribute more than half our yearly incomes to several Lower Keys charities including the homeless and animal shelters. We also contribute countless man hours.
I collect first edition copies of classic American authors including Hemingway and Faulkner.
I like to dance with fat women.
I'd rather have a fist fight than an argument. Much more satisfying. Of course I'm 6 foot 5 and weigh 205.
My sister can take me. (She's 6 foot 1 with a snake-like right hand)
Mostly I agree with ACLU rulings.
I never agree with anything the republicans say except for the 2nd Amendment.
I hate democrats and their wimpy way of double talk. (see above where I don't vote)
I don't believe in the death sentence. Not because I believe bad people should live, but because politicians should not have life or death power. They don't deserve it.
I do believe in abortion up to the third grade. (not trimester)
I do not buy in to Global Warming. I'm not green at all and don't give a damn about it.
If you can tell me what party I belong in then please tell me. I'll go right out and not join in a hurry.
Old Town
