The fact that I don't defend your positions is simply because I find them indefensible. I'm a free thinker - I evaluate an issue, look at the facts, examine science (if available), make a decision, and if there is new information available, I will re-visit. On gun issues I swing far more to the right than the left, especially since I own guns (and will own more). I'd love to own an MG-42, and not a deactivated one. On social issues, I'm very much in the "mind your own damn business" camp. If that's not "conservative" that's because the "conservative" stance is far too busybodied. Keep your nose out of other people's business, and you'll be fine. Yeah, I also believe in taking care of our countrymen, but that seems to be an American value (or at least it used to be) not a liberal/conservative issue. So, whatever. Label me what you want, I don't give 2 shits. But running around with this blind partisanship that seeks only to destroy is going to do just that - destroy. It's destroying this country. I love this country too much to just stand idly by and watch you people do that.
