After my last foray into the "dark side" (remember BilltheDrill?) I felt like making things a little easier on myself by selecting a nice, liberal attorney for my next Inquisition. Well, dear readers, once again I was deluded into thinking he was one of ours. (Why am I being *punished*?) The sacrifices I make for you, my adoring readers. I certainly hope you appreciate it!

So, here it is, the "dirt" you've all been clamoring for. (Oh, and in case you are interested, the doctor said I'd probably only need to be on the tranquilizers for a short period of time). It is with great pride (and true inner peace) that I bring you:

dansangel: Tell us a little about yourself.

Dog Gone: I was born and raised in California where I always wanted to grow up to be a trial attorney like Perry Mason or Owen Marshall, two popular TV shows when I was a kid. In college I was a radio disc jockey, editor of the school newspaper, and majored in both journalism and history. I did attend law school at the University of Southern California, where, much to my surprise, I discovered that trial attorneys are actually liberal scumbuckets who prey on society. It was a rude awakening.

dansangel: Wha-? Wait a minute....California....attorney....you mean you're *not* liberal?

Dog Gone: I came to my senses, and took a job as an attorney for a major oil company, where I negotiate deals, write contracts, and try to keep them from being sued by the liberal trial attorneys. I was transferred to Texas where I continue to work today as an oil and gas attorney.

dansangel: Do you have a wife that will, hopefully, knock some sense into you?

Dog Gone: I live in the greater Houston area, where I am married to a woman who shares my political beliefs, but has no interest in computers or FR. She frequently asks me to post things to my Freeper friends, and she takes part in Freeper activities. We were very active in the Houston Freeper demonstrations during the Florida election debacle, making signs, demonstrating at key intersections, and showing support for Bush during those tense days. I have one son who will be entering college this fall here in Texas.

dansangel: Well, so much for that idea. What do you use as your source for news?

Dog Gone: I signed up at Free Republic in early 1998 after finding it from a link at the Drudge Report. I don't remember how long I lurked before getting the courage to sign up, but it was only a few weeks. Bill Clinton was really making me mad, and I needed a place to vent!

dansangel: What could a right-wing terrorist possibly have to "vent" about?

Dog Gone: All my relatives, and in-laws still live in California. One of my brothers is a high school teacher there, and he's a communist. Seriously. We have many interesting email debates, and I frequently encourage him to leave the country he finds intolerable. I think it's too bad that he's spreading his philosophy to unsuspecting high school kids. Sigh.

dansangel: THAT place again! Well, that confirms what I suspected....there's no doubt as to which side your political philosophy originates from.

Dog Gone: My political philosophy? If the world were perfect, I'd be a Libertarian, because I believe in self-sufficiency, and minimal government. But the world's not perfect, and we're in a political battle with Democrats domestically, and all kinds of bad guys on the international scene. That means fighting to win, and the only way to win is through the Republican Party. I donate to the Republicans and support their candidates. In my first election, I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976. In hindsight, that is SO embarrassing. I came to my senses and voted GOP ever since.

dansangel: Hmmpph! More like, "sense-less."

Dog Gone: I've met George W Bush and have spoken to him on the phone several times (although never since the inauguration). He's genuine, caring, and sincere. I am a huge fan of Dubya, and he's earned my trust.

dansangel: All you right-wingers are fans of his....the next thing you'll be telling me is that you want to follow in his footsteps....

Dog Gone: I will probably enter politics after my son graduates from college. That means I can't use my real name at Free Republic, because the steenkin' liberals will use everything I post here against me. It's not that I'm not willing to defend what I post here, because I believe it. But I've been wrong on occasion and I just don't want to give them that kind of information.

dansangel: Just what the world needs....another member of the vast right-wing conspiracy in politics.

dansangel: At that point, I had to end the Inquisition. My nerves simply could not take any more heartless right-wing badgering. It was a great psychological sacrifice on my part, but worth it for you, my dear and loyal readers.

Please join me in giving another deserving FReeper a warm welcome to FR's Finest...
