Welcome to my blog. This is my first effort at creating one, and it will be comprised of my thoughts, desires, fears and concerns pertaining to many topics. Most will be serious, dealing with our nation, history, future and political situation. I know that I will offend some with my 'rants' and very opinionated stance on given topics. I am open-minded, but admittedly opinionated. My goal is to generate thoughtful, insightful feedback from readers.
