50-plus single dad, Air Force veteran (8 years), former law enforcement (Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, 15+ years), CONSERVATIVE Democrat my entire adult life. My Republican ex-wife says I'm more conservative than she is on many things. I can't stand bigotry and I hate hypocrites. And I can not stand what the liberals are doing to MY Democratic party. Right or wrong, I admire someone with the balls to stand up for their convictions without hiding behind the pretext of political correctness.
