I used to be a conservative because I valued self-defense against the Soviets as more important than anything else.
I'm a liberal now because the Soviet threat is gone, most liberals are not weak against external threats like Jimmy Carter was and the conservatives have literally lost their minds - embracing anti-science and the religious right. As far as I'm concerned, the Republicans are not a viable party at the present time. They are "howl at the moon" insane.
I would much prefer that Americans have two (or more, preferably) political parties to choose from but the reality is as present, the Republican party is the party of the ignorant, fucking idiots. I wish it was different but that's the way it is right now. I really wish they would wake to fuck up and join the 21st century but that's not up to me. As long as they remain as they are, I cannot vote for a Republican as mosquito-control officer. They are public enemy number one.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
