I am a college graduate who earns his living working as an hourly on a factory floor. I have found that I prefer this to retail management and customer service, which I have also done though admittedly it does not pay as well. I am a Bible Believing Christian and politically I am center-right. This is just a place where I share my thoughts on anything that catches my mind.

From High School I went into the Navy where I served a little over two years and got discharged for medical reasons. I studied and trained for the Ministry but am temperamentally unsuited for that job so I entered retail and food management for several years. I really wanted to write fiction so I decided to get a factory job while I did it. I found that I am actually happy producing things in a factory and I have written a couple of novels, which I hope never see the light of day :-D.

Heh ... good "test" ... thanks for the link.
Ronald Reagan, it was, after a tie-breaker question ... which of the two is more important: pursue all terrorists or I'm a redneck. Apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, but my redneck feelings come after hunting down pondscum and enabling their meeting their 72 virgin camels.
Abraham Lincoln was just under the Reagan selection ... which I, too, found odd. As I place more emphasis on his later years, and disagree with his War of Northern Aggression acts completely, I'm surprised that his conservative creds are so strong.
Something is terrible wrong here! I got FDR! *SOB!* FDR!!!!
Hurray! I'm like George Washington. 83% like.
I'm currently reading "Lincoln," by David Herbert Donald. I've got a time out on it to read Jacob Heilbrunn's new book on the neocons, but Lincoln without a doubt, on values, on work ethic, and education...everything, is my favorite president so far.
Mostly though, it's the preservation of union. State sovereignty is fine, but not when it leads to a constitutional crisis and the enslavement of a people, national power should prevail. We're a union of Americans, and I think Lincoln - more than any other president - made the point clear, for the betterment of our future.
Donald ... for a SOUTHERN take on him and the Civil War, there are many good books. My Favorite is one of the Politically Incorrect Guide series.
Unfortunately, the majority of the books are always written by the winners ... and the South not only took it on the chin for daring to withdraw their commerce from the Union, but took it in the back for a great many years afterwards.
The P.I.G. to the South was an interesting read, in that many facts ran counter to generally believed "facts". Fer instance -- the first AQmerican slave owner was black. The last American slave owners were in New York and other New England states. The last slave ships sailed out of New York. Neat stuff like that ...
Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt and Ike, with Abe running right along behind. I can deal with that...
Pete Reagan was quite high on my list too.
gayle It may be personality and have nothing to do with politics. Personality questions were also prominent.
Chrisa Another great one.
Donald Douglas. There were two issues in the Civil War and each side was right on one and wrong on the other.
Pete. Interesting.
jgf good choices.
Mike is harassing me because I came out as Reagan but got the same high percentage for FDR.
Ronald Reagan! Heheheee!
Well, there I go again!
