Introduction

I have created this blog so that I will have a forum to express my views about current events, politics, contemporary culture, and other matters that interest me from time to time.   I have always followed current events fairly closely, and I try to keep up with what is going on in the political arena.   I realize I would live a much happier life if I could disregard politicians and politics and not worry about current events or our declining culture.   Despite trying, however, I have not been able to wean myself from the daily news, and I always have views that I would like to express to those who are willing to listen.   I know many of my friends and relatives will disagree with some and possibly all of my views.   That's O.K.   That's what makes the world go around.   I will always welcome your comments.   There will be a place for your comments below each of my posts.   We don't have to agree, but I hope we will always respect and be courteous to each other.    I have spent very little time reading other blogs, but I understand that many of them contain hateful and outrageous comments.   If the comments on this blog are not respectful, then I will terminate the blog.   

 

Within the next few days, I will provide some background regarding my political philosophy, and I will disclose who I am supporting for President of the United States.   I will then have a series of posts dealing with some of the important issues involved in the current Presidential election. Thereafter, I will provide additional posts from time to time giving my views about current events and other matters of interest to me.   I hope you enjoy the blog.   Walter
