I think you need to take a step back and look at yourself. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
I have been struggling with the apparent conflict within. Conservative vs. Libertarian...

I follow the Christian faith but feel the gov't should be the hell out of peoples lives. I am personally against abortion, but the gov't should't be involved to pay for or hinder this. The Doctors and women who do this will answer for their actions, in my mind. This has been vetted in our courts. Gays, even gay marriage... I do not like the idea or condone the practice, but damn, if they are willing to stand up for their pursuit of happiness, then so be it. I knew when I went into the military that I would be defending our Flag and defend someone's right to burn it. Hard pill to take, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

I used to be hardcore right wing and supported everything that went with it... but now think that religion should be a very personal thing and not dictated to the masses. I would hope that someone would see something in me to ask about my beliefs and then be able share with them.

I am for Liberty. I am for the rights outlined for us in the Constitution, for all men and women and men that act like women and visa versa. Although my religious beliefs guide my own actions I will not impose them upon others.

Am I the only one that is working through this?
