I have no problem with others disagreeing with my positions- but I want them to at least understanbd what I believe and not assume that I agree with their view of what a conservative believes.

As for the hate, some here are reasonable ( though opposed to my stated viewpoints) but some are not.

If ANY opposition to what the present Congress is pushing makes one racist, I would have to think that a few here that have expressed personal disdain for, or attacks on me because of my views has to be considered hate. ( sarcasm)
