Now feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but if you have said "I identify as a conservative", then you do agree with the GOP, or you are trying to personally re define the traditional usage of it.
Kinda like when Christians try to separate the New Testament from the Old Testament, which cannot be done.
At this point in history the vast majority of "conservatives" vote for the GOP or Libertarian. If you vote democrat I fail to see how that matches up.
Now maybe your next post should define what you think "conservative" means, or should mean, on both economic and social issues, because I wont lie, that DOES conflict with my long term knowledge of "conservatives".
I don't care what the majority does. I am me and if you really took the time to ask me what I mean by conservative I have no problem telling you. But the last thing in the world I feel like doing is explaining myself to people who assume they already know everything and jump down my throat like their opinion is the gospel truth.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
