He and his wife Melissa are the owners of PathStone Global, Inc., an International Home Business Solutions Provider. "Paving the Path to Prosperity" He helps others as a Prosperity Mentor. Political Philosophy: Vern is a Fiscal and Social Conservative. He is best described as a "Reagan Conservative". President George W. Bush was correct in going to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was wrong for caving into liberals and increasing social program spending. He also blew it by not clearly identifying Islam as the enemy of Western Civilization. Barry Goldwater got it right on labor unions, fiscal and military policy and was wrong on his libertarian views and rejection of the "Christian Right". Libertarianism is an UNGODLY and DANGEROUS ideology that should NOT be confused with Conservatism! -------------------------------------- Just an FYI ... Often I will post items that are somewhat provocative in nature. These are NOT intended to OFFEND but merely to stimulate thought and conversation. I am truly interested in the opinions of others - God knows that I don't have all the answers - LOL! Personal attacks are OFF LIMITS! However, challenges to opinions, beliefs, concepts, politics, religion, habits, activities, lifestyles, ideas, etc are fair game. Fair Enough? --------------------------------------- *** Legal NOTICE *** The views expressed on this Facebook Account or any other Facebook pages or groups or websites owned/operated by Vern Lampman and PathStone Global Incorporated are solely those of Vern Lampman and not those of the authors' employers, employees, coworkers, trustees or assigns.
