..We are conservatives. Are RINOs conservative?..

This is TRICK question, right? :)

In all honesty I don't know. I not even know where I fall in, exactly. Certain issues are hot for me, and others, to a lesser degree.

You know I am surprised I have not see - I am sure they exist - one of those questionnaires that would give you a 'score.' Sort of like you 'credit score,' (above 700 very good, over 800, well...:, under 600, hmmmm and so on [smile].

I suppose that even RINOs can be conservative on certain issues but not on most.

I tell you what I am about: from 1 - 10 scale:

Against abortion -10, homosexual shacking up ('union')-10. Love the Flag-10, Support of the Military-10, securing the border - 8, Immigration Reform - 8, Originalist for the supreme court, including a paper trail - 10, Guns - 5 (sorry), having a national ID card - 7, overspending - 6, less government - 6, - Stopping the attack on Christianity (Christmas, an any mention of God) - 10

I guess I don't have to clarify that I am not an 'intellectual,' much less and 'elitist' :), I am just a regular guy. So, I believe I am more of a 'social conservative,' than anything else.

So now that you know my views, where do I fall in? And where does a RINO fall in?

What is a RINO?

To show his interest in a female, the bull rhino brushes his horn over the ground, charges at bushes, rushes back and forth, and frequently sprays urine.

The black rhino feeds at dawn and dusk, sleeping in the shade or in the mud wallow during the hottest hours.  Since it cannot sweat, its rolls in mud or dust to keep cool and to give itself a protective coating.

Sounds like a RINO to me:-)
