I'm a Bronx-born author and educator, an unabashed liberal who boasts of having never voted for a conservative candidate, although among my heroes are Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Wendell Wilkie. I admire those who not only believe in and support our Constitution, but also are committed to social justice in society.

In the spring of 2007, I completed my 50th year as an educator. Since my retirement I've decided to abandon my education writing and focus on satirical, political books due to my concern about the deceit and hypocrisy that is rampant on the American political scene. I agree with Franklin Roosevelt that the only thing one has to fear is fear itself, although cynical politicians today attempt to frighten Americans. I have a strong commitment to members of the military and wants them returned home as soon as possible, and have tremendous faith in the intelligence and social conscience of the American people and know they never will surrender to the forces of fear.
