Political Philosophy: I consider myself a conservative independent. I believe that, other than national defense, governmental programs are best run at the state level given that state governments are closer to and understand better the needs of their constituents. I believe in the free markets, but acknowledge that people have duties of both common decency to one another and to help those in need. I believe that government should be run based on common sense rather than on devotion to party ideology.

"Weak politicians are dangerous—in many cases, much more dangerous than the stronger kind. Government is a big mean dog, and norms are the leash that keeps it from going Cujo on all of us at any given moment. Weak men and weak women, who do not have principles to limit them or strong characters to fortify them, can’t keep the dog on the leash—they just let it run." -- Kevin D Williamson

Religious Philosophy: Semi-lapsed Catholic. Although I have a number of problems with the Catholic Church and the way it's run, I have no reason to believe that any other Church is any better. I believe in God, not organized religion.

Musical Favorites: Nothing anyone here would find provocative.
