Are you biased? Of course you are!

To say anyone, at this point, is not biased one way or the other is a joke. Everyone has bias in some direction. No one is a true centrist.

This blog is biased. We lean toward the right, toward conservativism - both socially and fiscally. Don't like it? Not our problem. Go find another blog. However, we encourage you to read what we're putting in here. We aim to push things in favor of Joe Sixpack American.

What is that? It's the average, hard-working American. In many cases, you can add Jane instead of Joe...but we're going to stick with calling the average U.S. citizen - Joe Sixpack American. If you like Jane Sixpack American better, visit the store and buy the t-shirt when we get them up there. But...I digress.

Our bias is for tax cuts, reasonable pricing for housing, Capitalism, entrepreneurialism, fiscal responsibility by our politicians, "clinging to our guns and religion" (hello 2nd Amendment and Freedom of Religion!), freedom to educate our kids how, when and where we want to (shout out to homeschool parents!), a big military to protect our way of life and all the other normal things that Joe Sixpack American supports.

JSAs have friends "on both sides of the aisle" because our parents taught us to respect our friends and neighbors and some of them are different. Doesn't mean you can't be friends just because you have differing political opinions. One of my closest friends is a liberal Dem with a very popular music group (remaining nameless). Doesn't mean he and I don't have a ton of other things in common.

Joe Sixpack American is the typical, law-abiding, God-fearing, hard-working American who believes in the principles that are the foundation of this great country. If you forgot those principles - go to the library and check out a few books on U.S. history.

Joe Sixpack American is a Republican, a Democrat, a Green Party member, conservative, progressive, etc. That's the great thing about living here. We can have similar beliefs and some that are polar opposites. This is an amazing country we get to live in.

When you vote, make sure you vote for the principles that keep American on track for Joe Sixpack American.
