\"Ann<\/a>Ann Marie is an unabashed conservative. Her initial foray into politics was the Democratic and\u00a0Republican conventions of 1968, where, as a twelve year old, she watched the gavel to gavel coverage\u00a0on TV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A book called \u201cWe the Living\u201d by Ayn Rand, also read in that year, opened her eyes to the Soviet\u00a0Communist system and world and whetted her appetite for Russian history, language and literature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This then lead to reading the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, where she saw the\u00a0delineation between Capitalism and Communism, between freedom and enslavement by government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A graduate of Syracuse University with a B.A. in Russian Language and Literature, she was hired by the\u00a0National Security Agency where she was a Russian Language Analyst. Her expertise was used in military\u00a0communications and she spent ten years at the agency during the wonderful Ronald Reagan era. The\u00a0contrast of liberal Democrat and Conservative policies became even clearer when she saw how Jimmy\u00a0Carter decimated the defense and national security of this nation and how it revived during Ronald\u00a0Reagan\u2019s administrations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She became very involved in politics when she lived in Virginia, volunteering on a number of campaigns\u00a0and getting very involved in the Warren County Republican Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She is an avid admirer of Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan, Vince Lombardi and General George Smith Patton;\u00a0all are leaders in their respective fields who did it their way, and had the conviction of their beliefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ann Marie now lives in southwestern New Hampshire with her husband and a cat and dog, where she\u00a0views politics from afar, and rather be right and writes. Her outspoken views do not sit well with the\u00a0moderate New Hampshire Republicans, hence her lack of involvement with the Party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Favorite Quotes:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHow do you tell a Communist? Well, it\u2019s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an\u00a0anti-Communist? Its someone who understands Marx and Lenin.\u201d \u00a0Ronald Reagan September 25, 1987<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cLead me, follow me or get out of my way.\u201d General George S. Patton<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Lou is our resident cranky old goat. \u00a0A New Jersey ex-pat in New England makes him doubly opinionated and easily riled. \u00a0Master\u2019s educated in Lit. (Myth.). \u00a0 \u00a0A U.S. Army veteran and a Republican since Nixon, he is an Oathkeeper. \u00a0His checkered past includes Microsoft computer training, countless management and motivational seminars and International Police Pistol Competition shooting. \u00a0He has spent years as a DJ and MC in Reggae and Goth nightclubs and survived more than 100K miles in the seat of a Harley Panhead. \u00a0He lives in the Lakes Region of Maine with his adoring , (and adorable!), wife Debbie and their, (mean, snarly), dogs as well as a flock of overfed chickens. \u00a0Be advised, though, if you meet him on the streets, make no sudden movements and it\u2019s BEST not to STARE…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
