The Author

Who I am not:

Contrary to any impression you might get from my posts, I am not a small business owner. Neither am I a millionaire or billionaire opposed to our president’s plans to spread the wealth around.

Who I am:

I am a middle class American who manages operations for a machine tool company, so I know what the election of Barack Obama has done to manufacturing and small business. My degree is in Political Science, hopefully put to good use at long last with Civil Candor. I live in Illinois, a situation I vow to correct each time my taxes go up.

Why I blog anonymously:

Readers have asked why I do not blog under my real name, or even a believable pseudonym. Other readers, far less approving of a conservative viewpoint, are the reason I use “Civil Bob.”
