[Conscience of a Conservative]

No, actually what I was saying is: You are neither a conservative or possessed of a conscience. And you base that personal attack on what, exactly?

That was not a personal attack. If you took it that way you should settle down a little.

I’m not opposed to people being contrarian. In fact I prefer people to be free thinkers than marching in lockstep with the group. One thing I hate about the Democratic party is how regimented and marching in lockstep it has become.

Still, when I see someone claiming to be a conservative on what is obviously a right-leaning website, and opposing in near every post the general beliefs of the people who use the site, it raises a red flag for me. It smacks of gamesmanship, it smells of ‘the lie.’ It makes me think of Obama and his style.
