You may not belong to the Republican Party, Goofus. I don't belong to any political party, but the Democratic Party comes closest to reflecting my own political positions (close, but lots of times, no cigar!)

You may not actually be a member of the GOP, but the political ideas you have consistently expressed in these threads indicates that that is where your sympathies lie.

A philosphy professor I once had at the university said, "Everyone has a personal philosophy [set of principles one believes in, including a sense of ethics, which expresses itself in one's political beliefs] whether they know it or not. Knowing what you really believe is the first step toward wisdom. And sad to say, most people don't! Plato said, 'The unexamined life is not worth living.'"

You definitely come on like a Right-Winger. No matter how much you try to deny that you are a Right-Winger, those are the views that you express.

Sorry! But that's the way it is.
