As a U.S. Marine, I have a deep love for my country. As a world traveller, I have a respect for other cultures and see myself as a guest of the world, treating my hosts with respect. As a Christian, I believe in God and know that this blue ball didn't happen by accident. As an intellectual, I am interested in other points of view and I don't like to personally attack anyone. As a humorist, I will usually try to add levity. As a businessman, I understand small business economics. I appreciate a small but smart government that gets out of the way and lets people take care of themselves.
