VDK, could not have said it better!
Pessimist claiming to be conservative and Christian? I don’t think so.
As my Grandma used to say “must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed”.
My friend the word you forget to label me with is REALIST. Remember 1938?

Were the realist of that day pessimistic also... same truth different setting.
