I was starting to wonder if I was more conservative than I thought I was (which would be fine, but it's wise to know that).

I eventually realized that no, it wasn't the message I objected to, it was the method presented for enacting that message. Right here, right now, GIMME GIMME GIMME doesn't fly in any Republic or Democracy.

Every other country achieved these things through conversation, deliberation, and careful change--sometimes taking quite a while. The United States will be no different.

What he proposes isn't bad, but the "revolution" methodology simply fails as far as I'm concerned.

So although male, humanist, LBGT, and still a Democratic Mixed-Platform Economic Supporter (Captialism, well-controlled, has its place), #ImWithHer.
