I try to think about all issues per issue and not follow anyone blindly. Especially, politics. I do wonder why everyone thinks that if you do lean right you are a bible thumper. That is not me in any way. You paint with such a broad brush. My issue with both sides is about people that don't think for themselves and blindly listen to people in the media that have an agendas that are not about the betterment of the county they are mostly doing it for entertainment value. I consider myself a fiscal conservative and do not believe in most social issues being governed by the government. I do not follow republicans in the social dept at all. Just because someone might follow the right in one issue does not mean they do in every issue.
I have been described as a slight feminist in fact, at times.
Like I said I wasn't talking about you specifically...But I find it odd that it's ok with republicans when we spend trillions on corporate walfare- AKA wars, but republicans get up in arms when a tiny fraction of our money is invested in us on "social issues" like heathcare and bike paths. And now republicans are even getting upset about the government building and maintaining roads and bridges and things that are vital to a civilised society? It's absurd
