Party affiliation and partisan politics does nothing for me. The GOP has been and is probably a bigger problem than the Dems in many ways IMO.

I think you’ve seen my diatribe on the whole concept and term “conservative” which I think is a bit convoluted and subjective depending on who you talk to. I never know what a “conservative” is other than they don’t like the Left (sometimes). It’s like I know more about what a “conservative” is against than what they’re for.

We need a lexicon that embraces those that are FOR individual freedom, the Constitution, and limited government. Whatever that is, that’s me and what I think is traditionally what America has been and the Founders were all about.

I agree. It is interesting the different interpretations of our Constitution at times though.

The Left plain ignores it, and 'some' on the right attribute to it things I don't think it intended.

Can't think of a good example at this moment, but discussions do tend to get interesting at times.
