Conservative Donnybrook introduces…
…our newest contributor: Doughboy.
Born and raised along the coasts, but now happily residing in the Heartland, Doughboy is a former teacher who now freelance writes and works full-time as a military historian.
In his first election, he voted for Bob Dole, then made the biggest political mistake of his life by voting for Al Gore. On 9-11, he woke up and made national security his priority, leading to his admiration for Pres. Bush and his current career.
A fervent Zionist and Patriot who works with the military daily, he therefore considers himself a 9-11 conservative or “neo con,” though he disagrees with some tenets of the latter.
Aside from national security funding, he concurs with much of libertarianism.
I think most of readers will recognized that Doughboy brings a fresh voice to the Donnybrook. While he is likely aligned with the neoconservative contigent, his approach will almost certainly depart from the neoconservatives that currently contribute. He should add to a hearty and robust debate, offering a new persepctive that heretofore was missing on the Donnybrook.
To Doughboy, let us all welcome you to the brawl with the advice: keep your chin in, your hands up, and come out fighting!

Welcome! I, too voted for Dole in my first election (after supporting Buchanan in the primary).

Indeed, welcome and I hope you brought your best boxing gloves.

I voted for Gore too, but if I had it to do over again… well I guess I wouldn’t have voted
Anyway, welcome.
