Without new Lefties we'd get bored people. Don't give this guy too hard a time, I think he may be a friend of Mott and he'll sick his sheep on you!

New blood is a good thing for the board (as long as it isn't another of Legion's handles).
 
I am new here, and would like to introduce myself.

Who I am....

I am a 48 year old guy who likes to work with my hands, use tools, and mostly keep quiet and think about things. I have 5 Children, Elizabeth who is 23, Joel who is 20, Joanna is 17, Daniel is 15, and Christina is 12. We live in Columbus, Ohio, and all 5 of my children have different political views. Elizabeth is a social conservative and a fiscal moderate, with a real concern for the rights of the homeless. Joel was hardcore conservative Republican, but of late his long term liberal girlfriend has changed his viewpoint on several issues. Joanna is fiscally conservative but openly gay, so she is very liberal on social issues. Daniel is an Eagle Scout who goes to a very liberal high school that is oriented towards the artistically gifted-his political views tend to favor both fiscal conservatism and maintaining the environment. Christina is very pro environment and a fiscal moderate. We have lots of interesting discussions around the dinner tale.

I like most of the people I am represented by, although I disagree with all of them on quite a few issues. I find Obama to be a very good president, and I like both Sherod Brown and Rob Portman, my senators. My congressman, Steve Stivers, is actually a military veteran who seems to ahve high ethical standards-even though I tend to be more liberal than he is, I like the guy. Our governor, John K, is actually a person I do not really trust or like on the other hand.

Enough about politics....me personally....

I love Reading, auto racing, and woodworking. Specifically I raced a Mazda Miata in Sports Car Club of America, Buckeye Miata Club, and Porsche Club of America racing in a form of racing called autocross. Right now that is kind of on Hiatus, as I focus on spending time with my family. Woodworking wise, I really enjoy working with quarter sawn oak and building mission style furniture. In terms of reading, right now I am enjoying books about environmentalism and military history more than anything else.

I am married to my college sweetheart, Kim...she was 18 and I was 19 when we started dating....hmmmm...what else....

I work for a religious institution (Capital University, which is Lutheran) and attend a Presbyterian church, but I am not very religious.

Looking forward to being part of the forum, and sorry if my intro was long winded!

Thanks!

Chris


Welcome, 1966stang. I think you'll like it here. It's similar to a typical dysfunctional family. And every once in a while you'll read some Conservative view that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year apple! And many more to come. :)
 
who was this, stang?.......got to admit he turned out to be a major disappointment.....in the end, he didn't have much more to offer to the debate than Toppie or Desh......
 
1) Mott has me down perfectly.
2) There's far too many asswholes around here for him to be even Top 10 (certainly top 15 material, though).
3) One guess from big hooters, beer, and revisionist history which is my favorite...

While you want it to be hooters, rather than beer it is clearly revisionist history.
