My Bio
I’m a traditionalist who believes that in order to survive a nation must safeguard its long-held traditions. As Winston Churchill said, “A love for tradition has never weakened a nation; indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.”
I am the owner and editor of the conservative blog, Faultline USA. My focus is on American culture, religion and politics. I earned a Masters in Theology from Texas Christian University/Brite Divinity School(1999), and studied at the Theological Federation , Cambridge, UK, (1999), where I participated in joint Jewish-Christian Hebrew Bible Studies. I earned a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1973. I am an LMSW Social Worker with substantial experience in family assessment, foster-adoption, and child protective services, and a trained mediator with a focus on family law, ethics, and religious and cultural values clarification.
