About Me

My photo
Tecknomage
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran.   After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired.  In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush.  Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance.  I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP.  Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.

THE RESISTANCE

  • * Any law or policy that supports discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, race/color, gender, sexual orientation, or any law that does NOT support Equal Treatment under the law.
  • *Any law or policy that attempts to suppress Freedom of the Press or Free Speech.
