Name: Rafael
Age: 41
I am a proud American of Hispanic/American heritage, and a very proud partially disabled veteran of the 101st Airborne Division 'Screaming Eagles' and the United States Army.

I grew up in Miami, FL and Mexico City, the son of a Cuban-American Mother and a Mexican Father. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I am fortunate to have the best of many cultures in my background. My grandparents and great-grandparents were Cuban, American, Mexican, Spaniards, and French.

***A 'Veteran' is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of up to and including his/her life.***

Things I will not tolerate:

* Religious fundamentalism and/or fanaticism.
* Anti-American attitudes, or insults against the USA, the American Flag, or the American people, wherever they may come from.
* Stupidity, Narrow-Mindedness, Willful Ignorance, Bigotry, Prejudice, Intolerance, and unprovoked Mean-Spiritedness.

I subscribe to Agnosticism and Secularism, for these practices lend themselves perfectly to the encouragement of harmony and peace between all kinds of people in all the countries on our Earth.

I passionately believe in the vital principle of Separation between Church and State, and in the spirit of religious freedom that compelled our earliest forefathers to cross an ocean and to establish the shining city on a hill that is America.

I support the Second Amendment, but I do not support those who want to arm themselves to the teeth with automatic assault rifles just because they can.

I agree with Michael Moore and Phil Donahue on some things, and I agree with Lou Dobbs and The Wall Street Journal on others.

I STRONGLY believe in the concept of 'Peace Through Strength', but I also believe in the concept that says it takes a village to raise a child.

I believe that Americans should have access to health care that is GUARANTEED by the government, but I also believe in the enduring philosophy behind Alexander Hamilton's genuinely American economic super-system.

I'm all for a free-market economy, and for efficient and unobtrusive government, but I'm strongly against the prevailing tendency to engage in what I call Darwinian Capitalism, because it represents a clear and present danger to our republican democracy as we know it.

I believe abortion is a completely private and personal issue that deals exclusively with personal responsibility. NOBODY has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body.

I fully support Gay and Lesbian rights, and believe that they should be free to marry and live with ANY person they choose, and that their civil and human rights should not be violated. Sexual orientation is NOT a choice one makes!

I am a big fan of FDR, and an equally big fan of Ronald Reagan. I think the best Republican ever was Theodore Roosevelt, and the best Democrat that ever existed was Harry S. Truman.

I'm politically active as a registered Independent, and consider myself a Centrist. I could be a very liberal Republican, or a very conservative Democrat, and I am extremely happy and proud to be an American, and to be represented as a Citizen of the United States by President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden.

I believe the next four years will see the United States of America recover and go back to its preeminent position of leadership and success among the community of nations. YES WE CAN, AND YES WE WILL!!

So I thank you again for visiting my channel, and I ask you to be respectful, coherent, and civil. ENJOY!! };-)
