About Me: I’m the
flag-waving, anthem-singing, allegiance-pledging, gun-toting,
socialist/progressive-hating, moon bat-slapping, troop-loving, cigar-chomping, competitive chili and occasional BBQ cooking,
Marine Vietnam Veteran Constitutionalist ‘Big Sis’ warned you about. I took an oath in ’68 to “…uphold and defend
the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”, and I don’t
believe it came with an expiration date.
Born and raised in New York and New Hampshire, spent a couple of years
in California (‘till I could escape), 40+ years in Texas, mostly in the Houston
area, with a short detour to North Carolina, and now back in Texas, living in
southwest Fort Worth. Short CV – worked for a
large telecom company for 30 years in the engineering/construction/maintenance
area, worked as an insurance agent specializing in Medicare and Long Term Care,
and lastly drove a school bus for two districts (an enlightening experience to
see just what is happening to our youth in these districts).
About Grumpy Curmudgeon: Challenged with the prospect of four more
years of ‘The Light-bringer’, this has evolved out of frustration with the
process and a commitment to engage, brainstorm, and perhaps provide a direction
to those of like heart that have not given up on this country nor some of its
leaders. There are no expectations of
evolving a ‘grand plan’, but perhaps collective input can lead to ideas that
can be used by those of us ‘snuffies’ at the grass roots level. The primary thrust of any evolvement is, at
this level, the participation in school board and local council/mayoral
elections, the local party committee, state representative and senator
elections, and US Congressmen and Senators (henceforth referred to as
‘Congress-critters’). The primary key is
involvement in a meaningful way to shape message to attract those who have
strayed from the fold, that have seeked the short term gratification of
government sustenance over their long term freedom.
