I am a physician now living in the politically ridiculous state of Washington.
I lean for the most part libertarian, with conservative views on some issues like abortion and marriage. I am a recovering liberal pinko who once voted for Dukakis. Now my mission in life is to show those blinded by liberalism that there is truth out there, and they don't have to be scared by it. Come to the light!

I love this quote from a dear departed member of Free Republic: God says: I am covenanted, committed forever to love you; to do whatever is best for you. I will be kind, encouraging and enabling, but I will also be challenging. At times I will come to comfort you in your affliction. At other times I will come to afflict you in your comfort. Whatever I do, it will always be an act of love and an invitation to your growth. I will be with you to illuminate your darkness, to strengthen your weakness, to fill your emptiness, to heal your brokenness, to cure your sickness, to straighten what may be bent in you, and to revive whatever good things may have died in you. Remain united to me, accept my love, enjoy the warmth of my friendship, avail yourself of my power, and you will bear much fruit.
