Thanks for clicking to learn a little bit about me. Here's more than you probably ever need to know.

I am a diehard fan of the U.S. Constitution, Rule of Law, Crimson Tide, and Texas A & M (Aggies).

I embrace the true, the good, and the beautiful in life. I reject moral relativism. I oppose nihilists.


Alabama Constitution
McCarthy was right.
Goldwater was right (well, at least through 1964). Life Member, JPFO

I operate a small Computer Services company that places programmers, DBA's, tech writers, and software project managers at IBM, BellSouth, various regional banks, and Computer Sciences Corporation.

I hold one U.S. Patent. I have won one national digital design competition. I hold several U.S. and international software copyrights. I have been "published."

I live in rural Alabama (yes, I live and work close enough to a switch to have DSL - we are modern out here after all). We generally have very pleasant weather out here. People are very friendly. The cost of living is very low, and it is easy to live like a king (without even stealing an election).


Game Theory

The First Atomic Pile

I am not particularly "well read"; however, I have thoroughly enjoyed Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, Alvin Toffler's Future Shock, Sam Huntington's The Third Wave, and Nobel Prize winner Illya Prigogine's Order Out of Chaos.

I am a private pilot. I currently fly a small, but excessively fast Mooney 4 seat airplane (made in Texas). I drive a Blue Corvette convertible (which my wife claims has an exhaust sound that is just too loud) and a Jeep.


"Good God, how liberal is someone going to have to be to get the nomination in that party?"

I'm unconvinced that Democrats are even "liberal" any longer.

They want to ban your civil rights to own guns. That's not liberal.

They want to outlaw so-called "hate speech." That's not very liberal, either.

They want to prohibit organizations that don't comply with their agenda from using public facilities (e.g. Boy Scouts using public school buildings for meetings and National Forests for camp outs). What's "liberal" about that position?!

They want the right to euthanize old people. Damn.

They want the right to murder pre-born children. Jesus.

They want to prohibit you from building your house on vacant land...they call that "urban sprawl."

They want to **destroy** safe, clean, environmentally friendly nuclear power plants.

They want to raise your gasoline taxes.

They want to ban the internal combustion engine.

They want to outlaw the public display of religion (unless it's Satanism, Atheism, Wicca, etc.).

They want to ban your use of waterways.

They believe that they should shout down any speaker who even so much as disagrees with them or points out an alternative view.

What's "liberal" about them? That they have unprotected sex with underage partners on the first, second, or certainly by the third date??

I don't see their so-called "liberalism." They aren't tolerant of our political views, that's for certain. They attacked President Reagan when he passed away. They attacked Chief Justice Rehnquist when he died, and they attack President Bush daily.

Heck, they drew blood from a mere *reporter* who dared ask a conservative question at a White House press conference. Listen to any of these radicals for any length of time and they'll tell you that their dearth of political victories is due to not being agressive enough. They want to "fight, fight, fight."

That's the modern Left in the U.S. today.
They aren't even "liberal" any longer...just left wing.

I mean, it's not "liberal" to ban smoking in restaurants. It's not liberal to ban praying on **public** sidewalks in front of abortion clinics. It's not liberal to want to ban our firearms. It's not liberal to want to ban hunting. It's not liberal to want to ban new home construction (you know, that so-called "urban sprawl"). It's not liberal to ban our military from recruiting on a college campus. It's not liberal to label all non-pro-gay utterances as "hate speech" and then ban it. It's not liberal to ban individuals from driving in special highway lanes (HOV).

It's just old-fashioned Stalinism wrapped with faces too young to know the old monster.


I enjoy skeet shooting, duck hunting, fishing, plinking, driving, flying, and building fires for my wife.

I have one pet, a ten year old Golden Retriever-esque fellow who still chases a tennis ball and swims regularly. He is putty in any woman's hands, though he can manage a bark or two for male visitors.

Life is good!


The Future of Aerial Warfare (per Southack)
To be competitive in the air wars of today and the near future, winning fighters will all have at least ONE of the following traits:
1. Stealth,
2. Amazing peak speed,
3. Be unmanned, and/or
4. Have an orbital or sub-orbital capability.


"Mr. Bush worked the line, shook Mr. Faulkner’s hand and then proceeded until Linda Prince spoke up. “This girl lost her mother on 9/11,” Prince told the president. With that proclamation the president changed from the leader of the free world to a father and a husband. According to Mr. Faulkner, “The president’s entire expression transformed and he turned and came back against the flow and his eyes locked on Ashley’s.” The president took the time to talk to Mr. Faulkner’s daughter Ashley and give her a warm hug. Mr. Faulkner told me he debated before taking this now famous picture, wondering if he was invading a very private and special moment between his daughter and the most powerful man in the world."

The Four (4) Evolutionist panic moves:
#1 attempt ridicule
#2 attack
#3 flee (or feign disinterest)
#4 Change the subject or attempt digression

The above moves are what all Evolutionists make whenever they are asked a question that they can't answer, such as: How do you know that a non-Evolutionary process is responsible for inanimate matter evolving into the first living cell (i.e. abiogenesys)?

Patrick R. Cleburne, (Stonewall of the West)
  Known as:   Stonewall of the West
 
  Category:   Confederate General
 
  Born:   28 Mar 1828  at  Bridgepark Cottage, Cork, Ireland  
 
  Died:   30 Nov 1864  at  Franklin, Tennessee, US  

Overview:   Irish born Confederate officer. He lead corps at Stones River and Chattanooga. He was killed at the Battle of Franklin in 1864.
 
Biography:   Patrick Cleburne was the Confederacy’s highest-ranking foreign-born general, and one of the best of any nationality.

Cleburne was more than a bold general; he was intelligent. He proposed in the winter of 1863-64 that the South emancipate those slaves that fought in defense of Southern independence, and that the Confederacy admit that slavery as a whole would have to end in a “reasonable time”. Probably the idea was too little, too late; it wouldn’t have had much effect in Europe, nor in the North. Furthermore, it was too much for the authorities in Richmond. Jefferson Davis liked Cleburne (one of the rare cases of Davis’s favorites being good) but that wasn’t enough to get such a radical plan approved.

The 1864 campaign was plenty more hard fighting for Cleburne’s division. He fought all the way through the Georgia mountains in the retreat back to Atlanta, then under Johnston’s and then Hood’s command around Atlanta. When Hood took the Army of Tennessee back into Tennessee in the winter of 1864 Cleburne was at his place, but he was one of six Confederate generals killed at the battle of Franklin, the futile end of the campaign.


On the eve of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, through Secretary Francis Blair, offered Robert E. Lee command of the Union Army. There was little doubt as to Lee's sentiments. He was utterly opposed to secession and considered slavery evil. His views on the United States were equally clear - "no north, no south, no east, no west," he wrote, "but the broad Union in all its might and strength past and present."

Blair's offer forced Lee to choose between his strong conviction to see the country united in perpetuity and his responsibility to family, friends, and his native Virginia. A heart-wrenching decision had to be made. After a long night at Arlington, searching for an answer to Blair's offer, he finally came downstairs to his wife Mary. "Well Mary," he said calmly, "the question is settled. Here is my letter of resignation." He could not, he told her, lift his hand against his own people. He had "endeavored to do what he thought was right," and replied to Blair that "...though opposed to secession and a deprecating war, I could take no part in the invasion of the Southern States."

Oh, I also oppose this group of anti 2nd Amendment conservative bashers:

The Outlined Strategy of My Enemy:

 
"...In 1919 an Italian socialist named Antonio Gramsci began to publish a newspaper in Milan called, L'Ordine Nuovo, or "The New Order." Loosely rendered, he concluded that the average person would never voluntarily reject the faith and culture of the West. He concluded that the best way to implement a collectivist government was to use an intellectual elite to destroy traditional values by attacking fundamental Jewish and Christian beliefs."
