In 1974, I received an Honorable Discharge from the U. S. Navy as a Vietnam War Veteran.
In 1978, I graduated from the University of California, Irvine, California. Many of my classmates were Vietnamese boat people with whom I competed and struggled to be in the top 10 percent. They came from a country that had spent the prior twenty years fighting socialism, and knew firsthand, the horrors of a socialized society.
My degree is in Bio-Psychology, Math and Science, but my true passion is the study of History.
In 1976, I voted for Jimmy Carter. Being young and in college, it felt like the thing to do. After only two years, the devastation occurring in the economy in the wake of a Liberal President was becoming all too apparent, so I began to write “The Robin Hood Lies.”
In “The Robin Hood Lies,” I write about good Capitalists I have known, the history they lived, and the need to tell their stories before the Michael Moore’s in our society, and the Liberal Left, decide to re-write them.
In 1980, I voted for Ronald Reagan and my soul found quiet solace. Once he won the Office of the President, I thought the country I loved had dodged a Socialist and economic bullet. Then, a few years ago, a neighbor’s teenage daughter said, “What’s so bad about Socialism?” She was leaving that day for a university on the Left coast, and I realized I had stories to tell that could no longer wait to be told.
I started writing this book in 1978 as a direct response to the Carter administration’s assault on freedom and Capitalism. I write about a twelve step recovery program which resembles AA. It is a program for those of us who once voted for a Liberal but were then disillusioned by the devastating results.
Today, Cathy, my wife of 38 years, and I have four adult children and ten grandchildren for whom I am grateful. I feel a responsibility to “tell it like it is,” before a Socializing government has time to fundamentally change America.
I hope and pray every parent will have their children read, “The Robin Hood Lies,” before they leave home for the Socialist indoctrination camps aka the Institutes of Higher Learning.
