99.95% (or more) of conservatives do not believe the things you ascribe to conservatives. My point is that you are painting with an extremely broad brush, and in so doing you are insulting some very good people. I responded on the thread because someone had hit abuse on your comment number 19. I wanted to explain to you why it would be construed as such. Thanks, AM

I agree with you. But I am also very upset that so many people at this forum will not allow me to consider myself a conservative, let alone a simple Republican, because I do not hold their extreme views.
