My influences

It is kind of important to me to share some of my influences in my political thought.

I have always been fairly independant minded, with a very huge conservative slant. But there are a few out there who I enjoy listening to and reading.

Whenever my job permits me, I listen to radio talk shows during the day. Most commonly I listen to Rush, Hannity, and Micheal Savage. I tend to split my views between Rush and Savage... with a somewhat distaste lately with how Hannity has been covering the election.

I went to a private Christian College, where I earned a Bachlors in History, and minored in Political Science. (I would have majored in Poly Sci, but... my school didn't have that major.) My Political Science teachers really challenged me to develop my own thoughts, my own beliefs, and my own opinions on all aspects of politics, life, and religion.

My parents also were very conservative, but largely didn't discuss politics much. They left it up to me to bring up subjects that interested me, and we had some fun debates.

But anyways... that is a little about my background, and where I come from.
