Amazing that even though we have never met each other you would like to think that you know me and my people well enough to assign your logic to my reasoning.
Let me educate you a little on my thought process. I am a conservative, "my people" are conservatives. When life time appointments to the Supreme Court are made I would like to know that the person appointed to the position is the most qualified and reflects my point of view on certain key issues.
When I am not convinced that this is the case I engage people in civil discourse on this forum to determine their point of view. I do not call people names or try to marginalize their point of view by placing them into made up categories that only I understand.
If this sounds like what you do also, you might just be one of my people.
My congratulations on that post. You summed it up for a lot of us here.
