What my parents did have nothing to do what I believed in, thank you
very much. I chose for what I think is best. My mom never cared too much
for politics, and I have not seen my dad in many years.

Well, since you know so much about me, tell me why I chose what I did,
since I obviously don't know anything!

Talk about name calling! I think libertarian views are very close to
true conservative politics, not so much as the religious side, but they
are similar, based on what I read from the Libertarian platform. I did
score a libertarian on that political poll that someone posted earlier
in this thread, BTW, even though I am a "whacked out religious fascist",
in your words. What do you consider yourself, so I can line up the
proper name calling on you?

You know, this statement really keys me in to what most people think,
which is so not true its pitiful, but I don't feel like going into it at
this point.

Care less about what? My parents? Could you clarify, or just call me
fascist again?
