We all have character flaws, but I’d rather be represented by a pervert than a liar.
Osama is Dead … Let Us Not Rejoice
Alan Partis | May 2, 2011
It is a day to act with dignity and class, not the excessive displays of false patriotism seen in many parts of America.
Obama’s War
Alan Partis | March 24, 2011
Obama is bringing up the rear like an afraid little kid running after the school bus in the morning.
Rules Have Replaced Thinking

Just a boy from small-town western New York (Batavia) with strong convictions and a desire to express my opinions. I'm married and have a daughter with whom I am taking great pains to brainwash into my way of thinking (so far with great success).
