Below is an email I sent to Rep Joe Wilson just a few minutes ago, showing my support for his "You Lie" comment.
I would like to extend my gratitude for speaking your mind yesterday during Obama's speech about health care. So few authority figures fall in the 'political correctness' category and play follow the leader. We need more leaders like you who will speak their mind and not care whose feelings they hurt. We need leaders that will do what they feel is right and speak their mind against those they feel aren't. I think it's sad that you are being castrated for doing what our founding fathers guaranteed us as our first right, the Freedom of Speech. I can't believe even after your apology, there are those that want to persecute you further. Like any real man, you felt you made a mistake, you stood up and took responsibility for it and apologized. That should have been the end of it. These are sad days in American history.. to have a president that has no experience and lied more than even Bill Clinton in such a short period of time in office. My hat's off to you, Sir, for standing up for what you believe in and saying just that. By the way, we'll see what kind of benefits illegal immigrants get shortly. History has shown Liberals and Democrats like to give away our services to those that don't contribute to our way of life. I don't think Obama will prove to be different.
I take pride in the fact that I'm a man of my word. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it. I don't make false promises. I'm a man of my word. Think of me as a Boy Scout in biker clothes... but I'm not Obedient, Thrifty, or Reverent and I like to have a lot more 'adult' fun.
I like riding (of course, that should be a no-brainer), taking pictures, computer/computer games and music. I also like going to the range to shoot. I'm a die-hard Republican and have a lot of respect for our military.
I moved here to Texas from NYC in 2006 mostly for political reasons and would never be able to go back. I like going out to eat and going to a bar to see a live band. Will try most things once... those I like, I'll try twice.
People have a tendency of taking me too seriously. I'm not sure why but I'm really a laid-back kind of guy with a weird sense of humor... which I can only describe as sarcastic humor. That's one thing I have to blame on my upbringing. It's a common trait of born and raised NYers. I don't consider myself a 'typical NYer', if I were I would have never left. I've found that NYers think the whole country should do things the way they do them... thank God that's not the case!
People ask me "why did I move to Texas?" Well, I wanted to get as far away from NYC as possible and you can't more opposite of NYC than Texas.

Turn ons:
A strong, independent women who doesn't 'need' a man to protect her but feminine at the same time. A woman who speaks her mind. I tell people "there's nothing sexier than a woman who rides a bike and can shoot a gun". That kind of sums it up for me.
Turn offs:
People who believe ignorance is bliss. Anti-gun activists. Self-righteous Liberal Democrats! People that use their cell phone as their primary picture taking device, then post those itty-bitty pictures on their BoN site.
Ideal:
Communication, consideration and compassion are qualities I'd like to find in woman to have a relationship with. It won't hurt if she's a brunette with long hair and brown eyes.
Activities: Just living day to day and trying to make the best of each one.
Favorite Music:
70's and 80's rock and some metal. Favorite artists include SRV, Allman Brothers ,George Thoroughgood, and of course, Skynyrd just to name a few... I almost forgot, Santana and the Dead. (yeah, I used to be a long-haired hippy freak but at least I wasn't a short, fat, bald cock-sucker, like the guy who labeled me a long-haired hippy freak was.)
Favorite TV Shows: Cops, NYPD Blue (waiting for the last eight seasons to come out on DVD), Married With Children
Favorite Movies: With a DVD collection now over 800 titles, I'm hard pressed to find a favorite but here's just a short list: Braveheart, Dances With Wolves, We Were Soldiers, Saving Private Ryan, Lethal Weapon, Kill Bill (vol 1 and 2), Death Proof, The Bourne Identity, Resident Evil, Scent Of A Woman, Vanishing Point, and any western with Clint Eastwood just to name a few.
Favorite Books: Stopping Power and America Fights Back are the most recent books I've read. I'm not a big book reader but I tend to enjoy non-fiction more than any other kind of book, books I can learn from. I do most of my reading on the Internet.
Favorite Quotes: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” --Joseph Goebbels (German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945)

"It is to be observed that [the] Right of Self-Defence, arises directly and immediately from the Care of our own Preservation, which Nature recommends to every one. . . ," and that this right is so primary, that it cannot be denied on the basis that it is not "expressly set forth." --Hugo Grotius (17th century scholar)
Besides concluding that all nations are obligated under international human rights law to control the small arms and light weapons to which its civilian population has access, the UN report remarkably denied the existence of any human right to self-defense, evidently overlooking the work of Hugo Grotius, the 17th century scholar credited as the founder of international law, who wrote, "It is to be observed that [the] Right of Self-Defense, arises directly and immediately from the Care of our own Preservation, which Nature recommends to every one. . . ," and that this right is so primary, that it cannot be denied on the basis that it is not "expressly set forth." --Fred Thompson
And finally:
"So as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take our freedom away, I want to say those words again for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, Mr. Gore. From my cold dead hands!" --Charlton Heston
About Me: It took me 40 years to smarten up but when I did, I got to Texas as soon as I could. I've been told I'm spiritual but I don't practice religion. I can be affectionate with the right woman and not afraid to show it in public. I like long hot make-out sessions... especially in the rain (but now I don't have any windows to fog up). I've never been married and have no kids but I've been told I'd make a great dad or father figure. I'm involved with Fort Worth PD's Citizen On Patrol, Code Blue because I don't want my nice neighborhood to turn out like so many areas I've seen turn in to in NYC. I don't own any other form of transportation so when I head out, I'm on two wheels. I'm not sure what else to write here. It seems redundant. If you have a question, just ask.
