Hey, don't appologize because you are a mutant... er.. conservative...No really... I think that left and right, all have extremes and that it is very easy to attack the other. I remain in between. I don't fully agree with either liberal or conservative. I do tend to lean towards conservative views, but I have a good share of traditional liberal views. So, Mr. Conservative, take heart, I don't think anyone will (or should at least) bash you for your political affiliation. If you have ideas that make sense, lay them out. Just be prepared to defend them, or compromise, but that is part of what debate is about.
