American Policy
Throughout its history, The U.S. has had three (3) core foreign policy positions. these beleifes have held, regardless of president, or party. They are at the core of what we believe.
1. Fight our wars over there, - keep danger as far away from our shores as possible. That was why 9/11/01 was so traumatic. We had done such a good job keeping danger faraway. We failed for the first time since 1812. (Pearl Harbor, was on a territory, not homeland)
2. Free Trade - Which means open markets, and giving people choices. Letting Merit decide, not personnal connections. All go to our beliefe in the individual and their right to free choice and expression.
3. Spread Democracy - America was based upon a principle, not geography, and if our principle is correct, then it should apply to all people. We are the shinning city on the hill, showing all what could be.
If you look at our foreign policy decisions over the years, you will find that when we drift from these principles, we end up causing ourselfs more problems. and that when we adhear to these beleifes, things work out well in the long run.

Pleasures in Life
There are many pleasures in life, I thought I would mention a few of my most favorite, or at least those I can talk about in public.
Not in any particular order
1. Playing poker while watching Sunday Football
2. Catching a large Salmon on a small rod.
3. Sitting on the beach reading an excellent book.
4. Reading a bedtime story to my grandchild
5. Eating fresh warm tomatoes from my own garden
6. Helping a youngster realize their dream
7. Sitting on the couch, watching a movie with the love of my life falling asleep in my arms.
8. Sitting around a campfire listening to my children tell stories, about the "Old days"
