Why I’ll never run for President
I’m not a lawyer and lawyers seem to have special training and skill in dishonesty, deception and distortion. They also have the ability to effectively use it this training and these skills to influence others.
I’m not rich. I like my privacy.
I don’t have the ability to get other people to give me lots of their money for useless things.
Non rich, white middleclass men are scorned in our media, academia and in urban areas.
I’m conservative in my thinking and beliefs.
I’m not from the Ivy league and my education isn’t from an elite college or university.
I’m the product of public schools, from kindergarten to the university.
I’m a bible believing born again reformed charismatic Christian.
I’m not easily led by unqualified inferior leaders.
I stopped believing in socialism in college.
I stopped being a liberal in college.
I don’t aspire to life styles of the rich and famous.
I can’t hang with pathological liars. Most politicians and lawyers are pathological liars.
I don’t believe in moral relativity.
I believe in keeping my promises. I don’t like to make them unless I can keep them.
I’m not ashamed of being a white middle class man.
I don’t believe in the ameloriation of past wrong with present special rights.
I wasn’t a saint prior to becoming a Christian. I work hard at being saintly now, but it wasn’t always so.
I believe in staying married, for better and for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; with good sex, bad sex or no sex; with good relations or bad; with crazy in-laws or good in-laws; with healthy children or dying children; happy feeling or depressed. I don’t believing in giving up.
