Well, here's the deal, Saintaw.
I am a conservative American who's anti-GWB.
I believe birth control is a good thing.
I believe abortion is mostly a bad thing.
I am a Christian, but believe science doesn't necessarily conflict with faith.
I hold a master's degree in education, so am I "academia" enough?
I grew up in a poor rural area and never asked for a handout or favor in anything I ever did, and I don't welcome the snide "we know what's good for you poor, ignorant rednecks" attitude that is so prevalent in the liberal dogma.
I believe in personal freedoms, but am leaning toward gun control because of societal changes.
I hate listening to all political talking heads from both sides of the spectrum, they're too partisan.
I'd like to introduce myself; my name is "Middle America".
