I've been an conservative activist for a LONG time...before it was "cool".
I have deeply sacrificed--both personal and professional success--for "the cause" and to assist worthy groups. You'd probably be surprised that I did fund-raising (volunteer) for "pro-life" groups (supporting their anti-abortion activities). You'd probably be surprised that my conservative activist activities were mentioned in a NYT best-seller a decade ago. You'd probably be surprised that ... well, many more... :-)
You may surprise me. I'd definately enjoy that. :)
I appreciate your candor. I hope I have surprised you in a positive way...and I hope it opens the eyes of some who are trying to rip us all apart with epithets and lies. I try not to assume things about others on here, and try to see their points of view...and even if I disagree, I hope I'm civil and don't assume the worst of them.
Cool! ;)
I hope I have surprised you in a positive way.
You have. I'm glad.

For being pro-life for ALL life I've been called lunatic and fringer. Posting prayers, hymns and Scripture will get a person a nasty label. And on a pro-life, pro-God forum. It's difficult NOT to strike back. And there are a few who have been very cruel in their attitude toward the Schindlers. One rejoiced that Terri's parents would have no access to her grave. I asked if I had misunderstood. I didn't. Those kinds of hard words make civility difficult and differences polarizing.
