Why the title to my blog?

So, you may be reading this right now, and asking yourself, "Why the title Another Right Wing Extremist?" To confess, the title is more of a spoof on myself. I don't consider myself a right wing extremist, but my views may cause some to consider that I am. I consider myself a normal person, raised in a lower to middle class community. I am Roman Catholic and do not support abortion or gay marriage. I'm a member of the Knight's of Columbus, a member of the NRA, and a registered Republican. I don't always vote Republican in general elections though, but it's been years since I've voted for a Democrat. I support lower taxes, and economic policies that reduce dependence on welfare and spur growth and job creation. So, I don't doubt that some of you reading this will think, "this guy is an extremist." So, that explains the title. It's a spoof on what others may think of my views and opinions, and that's fine. I have no problem with that. If I'm an extremist because I believe life begins at conception, that marriage is between a man and a woman, that people have a right to keep more of what they earn, and that the 2nd Amendment means what it says, then so be it. I'm not afraid of the label. I'm not intimidated into being a liberal for fear that someone may believe my views are out there. I believe my views are what has been the basis behind the rise of Western Civilization over the last 1,000 years, and there is nothing wrong with that.

The reason I started this blog was to create a forum where I can express my own views. Which is another reason for the title "Another Right Wing Extremist". There are plenty of conservative bloggers out there, and I'm just one more of them. My goal is to talk about the things they don't talk about, or give a different view than the one they give to discuss aspect of an issue I think they may miss. I am not looking to be the farthest one on the right, nor am I looking to capture the middle. If you agree with me, that's good, and if you don't, that's too is okay with me.
