poltr1I thought about writing a long essay here about why I'm neither Republican nor conservative. But I think I'll reduce it to a few bullet points.
* I grew up in a union household. Dad was a member of the UAW.
* I have friends and allies of many faiths -- Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Sikh, pagan, atheist.
* I married (and divorced) a Wiccan.
* I value diversity over conformity.
In the end, I don't think I need to defend or justify my political position or opinion to anyone. If they don't like it, screw 'em. Real friends accept me as I am.
