There are few people in the world – very few – with whom I am willing to get into a discussion of politics or religion. My nature is that whatever topic I am discussing, I am going to try to search for common ground to stand on with the other person. For the record, I am a spiritual person who votes, but that is more than most people need to know. The more my nation appears to grow more polarized, the more I stick to safe topics like the weather and what area restaurants are worth checking out (though even the latter can get up the dander of certain people).
Occasionally someone will come out and ask me point blank, “So, what are you? A liberal or a conservative?”
Where I live, the correct answer is conservative, or – if I really want to impress people - very conservative. This will make people smile and nod in agreement and shift the conversation toward how Obama is driving the nation toward doom and destruction. I like to answer, “I’m a radical moderate,” because it makes them scratch their heads.
( Today’s battle has been cancelled due to lack of interest. )
