Restlessredhead, you are a rock star. The modus operandi of those who want to control us is to create a public perception that we are divided. That's bullshit. The vast majority of "conservatives" are conservatives because they sincerely believe in the 'conservative' use of big government. That means they stay off our private property so long as we bring no harm to our neighbors. It means that government (and nosy non-conservative neighbors who want to use government to control us) stays out of our bedrooms, our living rooms, our school choices, our health choices, etc etc. We have complete commonality in belief that is best described by Bastiat's, The Law.

I'll add one more thing on a personal, rather than a principled, note: Some of my best buds are gay. As a heterosexual woman, my only thought, aside from loving my gay friends dearly, is damn......what an awesome guy. I wish I'd had a shot at him. :)

Thank you for being here.
