One of the reasons I didn't mention political parties (aside from the fact that I think they both suck and are parasitic elements leaching and corrupting many things they can) is just because someone is a democrat, doesn't mean they are a liberal.

I don’t have enough, if any, faith in our government, let alone, individual political parties and their agendas to confidently say I’m one or the other.

What I will say confidently is that I see value in several aspects of both parties systems, and coming from a mostly democratic upbringing and environment, I can see much more value in some balanced conservatism as an adult.

Blind faith and politics just don’t mix well.
