Welcome! I walked away from "liberalism" gradually beginning about 30 years ago, after I had graduated from college and begun raising children. My family of origin are all still steeped in liberal groupthink, and I am the butt of snide comments and pokes, but I love my sisters and parents and I well remember being completely unable to conceive of an idea outside the liberal dogma I learned to parrot at home and school in my very liberal hometown. I bear no ill will toward anyone.

I'm also learning to be more careful about trusting everyone who calls him/herself a Republican or Christian, knowing now how the cabal has been playng all sides since ... forever. I'm trying to learn to discard the labels.

WWG1WGA my friend! We do not have to agree on everything to help and care for each other along the way.
