I am a student of American history. I love this country and the virtues it was founded on as stated in our Declaration: the respect for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that the most under-appreciated citizens in America are those who have or are currently serving in the United States military. I was absolutely disgusted by the treatment of the US Military during the 90's and believe that it is one of the primary functions, if not the primary function, for a government to protect its people. That protection begins and ends with the respectable treatment of the Armed forces as well as the constitutional rights of its citizens. But I've digressed; my passion for America has been shaped first, and foremost by my family. It was strengthened by my two visits to the former Soviet Union. America is the greatest country ever to be and our form of government is the model for all freedom-loving countries. My love for country is one of the main reasons I created Nothing But Truth, which is a celebration of the American dream. A dream that I believe in and happily defend on a daily basis.
In my former career, I had the privilege to coach juniors and college players in tennis. I learned a great deal about leadership through this vocation. The greatest lesson was that actions are more powerful than words. If one advocates a healthy, honest lifestyle, then one must live a healthy, honest life.
Many in society today ask: what can they do to effect positive change? The greatest contribution a person can make is to live by example. Great leadership knows no particular race, creed, economic class, or political affiliation; it can be found anywhere. Fortunately, America is blessed with a system that encourages it. It is not an easy road — for it takes courage and the willingness to be held accountable. When it comes to leadership there is no difference between personal and private life. It is a function of one's essence.
Everybody in media has certain key issues that they promote and I am no different. My issues are the promotion of liberty and freedom, and since 9/11 the defense of gifts. There are two wars we are currently fighting. The “hot war” against Islamofacism requires vigilance and pre-emption. We cannot wait for it to touch our shores again. We are also fighting a cold war against communism/repressive regimes (China, Russia and North Korea). These wars are not mutually exclusive for they involve similar issues of nuclear proliferation and democratic reform. We cannot cower from the challenges facing us today. We need leadership, specifically President Bush to articulate a comprehensive strategy to win these protracted conflicts, but I digress.
I know this was supposed to be my bio, but if you know where I stand on issues; you will certainly understand whom I am.
On the personal side, I have friends from all over the political spectrum and have learned from them all. They have influenced me (sometimes over evening of drinking too much wine lol) in many ways and I am grateful. The values I cherish are honesty, kindness, and personal responsibility. My desire in life is to provide honest, quality entertainment that promotes my creator's virtues. As pious and self-righteous as this may sound; it is the truth.
I am sincerely appreciative of your reader, listenership, thank you. God bless, and God Bless America!
