Paul Evans is a 54 year old website designer and book editor who lives in Wooster, Ohio. He owns and runs Evans Politics, a non-comprehensive news aggregation and commentary website with a lot of features including original content, streaming rock music, liberal politics videos and funny videos, and a chat room.
I have lived in five states, having been partly raised in Arlington, Virginia outside of D.C. I take care of my 84 year old father, a WWII marine and a former college professor in Russian language and literature.
I have edited 12 books, the last of which is available on Amazon.com and is an introduction to Spiritualism from a Christian perspective. Other books edited included a collection of short stories, a novel, and a book about the effects of consumption of various wheat components on cancer rates which was favorably received by the U.N.
I offer inexpensive website design services as well. Personal websites are available an very inexpensive rates, and designs are custom designs, not from templates. I also can arrange web hosting and am a reseller for GoDaddy, the world's largest web host. Contact me for all your website design service needs.
I love music of most kinds, perhaps especially classic rock, but many genres, including alternative, electronic music, jazz, fusion, new age, and folk, while I tend to avoid Rap and most country. I like to drive around northeast Ohio in my Honda Cr-V, and often can be found up in Akron hitting Borders and Best Buy while taking in a movie and doing dinner with some friends. I have a wonderful red female doberman named Ruby but like cats as well, and I am single and available.
I am a lifelong Democrat, a member of the Wayne County Network for Progressive Democracy, and volunteer with the Wayne County Democratic Party. I volunteered for the Obama campaign all along since before the Ohio primary. I was a Unitarian-Universalist for many years, but am currently attending the United Church of Christ.
Please feel encouraged to stop by Evans Politics (just Google it) and be sure to read "The 'Compleat' Revised Guide to Liberal and Progressive News and Politics on the Web" where it is available for download in .doc or .pdf formats.
Stop by Evans Politics and say hi or just email me and get to know me! ~ Paul

I believe that we must be a CARING society, and I think that crucial attribute has been falling away from the American culture, and that as a people we are too focused on material possessions and "the good life." We are supposed to be a Christian nation, but we avoid the poor, and we avoid really caring for them as a nation in the way we should. I believe we must be our brother's keeper if we are to lead ethical lives.

"Don't Talk to ME About Republican 'Values,'" an OpEd by Paul Evans of Evans Politics, attempts to discuss and expose the hypocrisy of hiding the true, amoral agenda of the Republican Party behind the slogan "family values." It discusses recent GOP moral failings such as the adultery of Sen. Mark Sanford, but concentrates on the immorality of the overall Republican agenda and it's lack of moral or Christian values.
