Ugly up
I try to be a reasonable person. I’m a registered Independent, simply because I don’t like being pegged for one position or another.
In Oregon, I’m considered a Jesus-loving conservative. In Georgia, I’m considered a pinko-liberal.
I’ve walked out of churches when preachers took it upon themselves to tell their congregants how to vote.
I want to do my own thinking, and I respect people who do the same. I can’t stand him but a few times a year I’ll tune into Rush Limbaugh just to hear what he’s hating on now. I read the viewpoints of people I don’t agree with, just on the off-chance that I might be wrong on an issue. I’ve read Ann Coulter’s books, though I’ve never bought one. I do this in part so that I know better who I am, what I believe and why.
