About me....

Well, lets see... First, I am a real bishop. Yes, that may seem hard to believe, especially with some of my right slanted views...

I consider myself a progressive conservative. I do not believe in abortion but do see a legitimate need for it to by legal. I believe in a strong marriage and family. I think our Congress and Senate waste too much taxpayer money on their own narcissistic flatuations.

I don't believe in gay marriages, But I also believe the government should have no say in marriages at all. Marriage is a religious sacrement that has been here long before the government. However; I do believe in Civil Unions, Durable Power of Attorney, and Living Wills.

I am for a flat tax where the low income class (under $25,000/year) is tax exempt, the middle class ($25,001 to $200,000/year) pays a flat 5% and the upper class ($200,000) pays 10% with no tax credits or tax loopholes. I also don't believe in the 501(c) nonsense/tax exemption status. If a person wishes to give to a charity, then they should do so from their heart without expecting a handout (tax credit et al) from Uncle Sam. After all, that is the point of giving.

I believe every topic is debatable in a civil manner no matter how extreme the topic is. I don't believe in racism at all and racist elements of our society only server to keep us back. Without debating the hard issues openly, we don't progress. As a society, we must progress in a positive direction in order to survive. That often means pulling out heads out of the sand and facing reality, something many Americans, along with other nationalities, often try to avoid.

I don't believe in the African-American. Irish-American, Italian-American, Mexican-American or any other ethnic centered America. This is one country, not a series of mini-nations scattered throughout the land. I am an American and proud to be one. I speak the American Language and I strive for the American Dream.
