if you have to explain something, then it is probably wrong,

so i don't read posts that are over two sentences long,

Two of my best climbing partners are to the right of George W Bush

As far as Conservatism goes Bush was a poser. Look at the money he spent. I should say misspent. Let alone the plaguing questions of morality which will haunt us for some time.

My point is that pretty much any honest Conservative is right of Bush. The problem comes when a bunch of folks who call themselves "The Conservatives" tell me I am not conservative if I am not a good church going Christian of their persuasion and support Gay marriage, abortion under most circumstances, all of the social issues that the core right wingers support. These views have nothing to do with political conservatism, which comes from a well thought out set of principles. So opposing groups can have productive discourse, but when dogmatism from any group rears it's ugly head the conversation is over.

So I have had some basic ideas changed by people whom I respected and who respected me. That's kind of how it goes I think. Doesn't tend to happen on the web.
