“My brother works in Philly, and his co-workers are pro-life, pro-gun and pro-death penalty, but all vote democrat.”
I am the same way, including pro-military, a TEA party supporter and haven’t voted for a rat in 30 years. Only thing is while I do not believe in gay marriage from the church, if gays want to have their civil unions at city hall and call it marriage, I couldn’t care less.
For that I am a liberal.
Because that is foundational, the end of marriage and family means the end of conservatism.
