You're not a Republican, I think.

I *was* a Republican, back in the 'Contract with America' days. Back when the party was about political Conservatism.

Now, the party is Socially Conservative, Politically Liberal. So I am certainly not an R anymore. They finally shook me from the tree with the immigration issue, and now this.

I'm a political conservative. Which most folks are. And the Social C, Political Ls who are pushing this are destroying the R party. At least, they have chased away the group who gave you the majority in 1994 -- Political Cs.

By far, most folks are "live and let live". If the Rs are going to become the party of social causes, they have lost political conservatives as surely as the Ds have.

Then you're a conservative. Unless you're a social liberal in which case you're still more of a libertarian.

For better or worse, both parties will always adopt social policy positions. If you can't bear that, go Libertarian. Otherwise, work for your issues and demand that conservative politics be the bedrock of the party.

That's what I try to do.

Homosexual monogamy is cultural Marxism...

You are a political conservative? Yeah, right... so much for the Republican party...

I have never said I was a conservative; a right wing objectivist, maybe...
