I'll jump in. (I always do)

I'm a 44 year old father of 3, married, and live in Corona, CA. Corona is a suburb of Los Angeles.

I am the Director of Information Technology for my company, and have a BS in Computer Information Systems from the California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. (Cal Poly)

I am economically an ardent free market supporter, though I don't believe that the WTO and large internationalist corporations represent a free market. Socially I'm very liberal, I don't believe in the war on drugs, nor do I believe in laws against prostitution, gambling, or other "victimless" crimes.

I was fortunate enough to be born in America, and believe her to be the freest nation on earth. I've done a fair amount of traveling, and have yet to encounter another nation with either the personal liberty or the opportunity that America has.

I believe that American policy should benefit America, and that other nations must be responsible for their own welfare. I oppose world government because I realize that no matter how pure the motives may be, world government can only be a dictatorship. I oppose the UN as an organization which exists for no reason save the transfer of wealth from the productive nations to the unproductive for the benefit of a few multinational corporations wishing to exploit cheap labor in those underdeveloped parts of the world.

I believe that America should protect her borders from invasion, and protect sea and air routes. But that is as much as we should do. Europe must learn to take care of Europe. If a dictator marches through, then Europe must deal with it. George Washington called for "Good will towards all, trade with some" but no involvement in the affairs of Europe or the rest of the world.

Not one drop of American blood should be spent to stop the next Hitler or Soviet Union. All that our blood and sacrifice has purchased is the hatred and contempt of those we died to save. America first, and America only is the only sane policy for America, just as Netherlands first is the only sane policy for the Netherlands.
