This is an interesting and timely topic but it is not getting the necessary and thoughtful process it requires.

First and least important many people may be liberal on some issues conservative on others, etc.

Secondly defining someone's beliefs, is like defining beauty which is in the eye of the beholder

Third, mores and customs alter such terms. At one time a moderate was a traditionalist. Today a traditionalist is considered to be far right and a progressive is far left. Socialist and progressive are co-mingled

Fourth our demographics have radically changed, age, sex, nationality and have as a collective, altered our mores, traditions, beliefs.

Having said that I consider myself to be a moderate (traditionalist) believing in one's rights and freedoms of speech, religion,etc. I believe marriage should be defined as a union between one man and one woman . I believe I have the right to own a gun (s). I believe that the nuclear family is the unifying requirement for a nation. I believe that the 10 Commandments are excellent guidelines. I believe in the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence and while thee documents ought to be argued as to their intent and meaning they should not be altered. I believe in patriotism and America's exceptionalism.

Label me as you will but do not underestimate my love of country.

Personal Best Regards:
