Here are the clues Ardie56 has given about his personality.

People who get me know this...
Music is an inseparable component of who I am. So is public speaking, as in, speeches, stand-up comedy, impersonation of a certain former world leader, and acting. They also know I believe in Jesus Christ and don't apologize for that to anyone.
!
My career path... Widely varied, one might say, spotted, but fascinating and ever-upward. !
My spirituality... I am a sinner saved by the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. !
Letters after my name... CPC, AAM !
My relationship status... Married !
My relationship saga... Ha! !
My political leanings... swing voter !
My political views... Somewhere between Libertarian and Goldwater Conservative, but no longer liberal and not extreme right-wing, either. Have voted both Dem and GOP based on the candidate and stated positions on issues. I reject political correctness as both absurd as well as an insult to any thinking person, and ultimately as an infringement upon my rights of free speech. !
A great song... Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye !
An awful song... Seasons in the Sun !
A great movie... Fail-Safe !
An awful movie... Speed 2 !
A great book... Now, Discover Your Strengths !
A great company... Southwest Airlines !
An awful company... AT&T !
Delicious food... any Gordon Ramsey recipe I can cook myself !
Terrible food... any recipe I screw up !
A great person... So many to choose from !
An awful person... So unnecessary to mention !
Proudest thing I ever did... Participating in The Bumper-to-Bumper Charity Cars Campaign as National Chairperson - 2005-2007 - we gifted 100 donated cars and vans on 10/16/2005 to local area victims of domestic violence, and in 2007, across the U.S. we gifted something in excess of 500 such vehicles. It remains the most personally satisfying experience of my professional life in the automotive world. !
Best time I ever had... The days on which each of my sons were born. Other than that, the first Sunburst Convention I ever attended was the wildest, wackiest, most laughter-filled 5 days of my life, and my wife laughed nonstop for 5 days as well. It was amazing. !
Worst time I ever had... Toss-up between which spinal fusion surgery was more painful, difficult, uncomfortable, and life-changing. !
What Ive been up to lately... Building and promoting 'Bill & George's EX-Celent Adventure!' with my fellow impersonator, John Morgan as G.W. Bush and myself as Bill Clinton. !
What drives me crazy... False witness, political correctness, devious subterfuge, the machinations of people who are driven by evil and greed, and my own lack of talents, powers and abilities when needed yet sadly absent from my bag 'o' tricks. I hate my failures and inabilities, and my lack of understanding and love for others when it reveals itself. !
What makes me glad to be alive... The Grace of God through Jesus Christ, my Lord !
I believe this... Love the sinner, hate the sin; insofar as I am able, be at peace with all men and women. Jesus Christ is Lord, and nothing will change my mind on that. !
My ethnicity as others define it... Caucasian, European, European-American !
My ethnicity as I define it... I am a classic example of the World's ongoing pincushion and running joke: a middle-aged white man with a modicum of education, a middle-class lifestyle, and a low tolerance for BS. That makes me the target of every joke aimed at discrediting men, husbands, fathers, and white folk. Ultimately, I'm just a white guy that loves his wife and kids, selects his close friends quite carefully, and prays for both his friends as well as his enemies. !
Gender... Male !
