Let me start off by saying this; I write a CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN blog, if that gives you a problem, feel free to LEAVE!
I was born in of Shreveport, LA, when I was 6 months old my parents moved to Odessa, Texas and the mold was set. My folks were in the oil business and we were all over Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana when I was a child, but Texas is, and always will be my home.
I was raised in the South during the 50′s, 60′s and early 70′s and that political setting was a huge factor in the development of my political views.
I call it as I see it, be the target of my criticisms Black, White, Democrat, Republican or anything somewhere in between.
I am a very tenacious supporter of stopping ILLEGAL immigration into the USA and for removal of all that have come here illegally. I have made some very forceful statements regarding what I believe needs to be done to secure our borders and how the ILLEGAL INVADERS need to be dealt with, and nothing has yet been said or done that changes my views on the invaders or their fate.
I’m a very happily married man, my wife tells me so, regularly. 
I have 3 grown children and 4 grandsons. I don’t get to see my kids and grand kids as much as I would like, they live about 400 miles from us and between work, ours and theirs, the kids and school, well, I’m glad we have web cams!
I have been called a lot of things; bashful, shy, quiet, a wall flower, uh…nope, those weren’t the names I was called.
I’m bold, brash and blunt. I speak my mind and tell the truth as I see it. I abhor cowards and *keyboard karate* fighters. I will not have a battle of wits with an unarmed individual and libbers that want to come here and cry about *that mean old TexasFred* and my attitude.
I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, an avid shooter and I own a few pieces of fine shooting iron!
I’m a highly opinionated and very Conservative blogger. If you ask for my opinion, I’ll let you know exactly what’s on my mind. I don’t play the PC game, so, be very careful what you ask for, you might get more than you expect or want.
I’m not a Republican, but I’m not a Democrat either. I am that which BOTH parties fear, a reasonably well educated, Conservative, Redneck, America 1st gun owner that isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
I am very active in local politics and I intend to stay that way. It’s up to the voting citizens to keep elected officials honest, and it starts in the local arena.
