Hello! This should prove interesting, since we're doing our best to keep it civil amongst the conservatives. I hope that you get a lot out of participating in our discussions, as well as contributing a lot.

I suspect Mattai was raised a Dem. He's from the Puget Sound, where they're notoriously liberal for the same reason that many Utahns are notoriously conservative...
Me? I'm whatever causes people to debate and discuss and even get a little hot under the collar. ;)

Welcome, and I would like you to know that even Orrin Hatch's son in law is a democrat, there are democrats of many different stripes. If it is simply a question of different government policies as to government control, the scriptures don't really speak to it, so there is nothing wrong really with being a pinko commie democrat versus the true blue patriotic American.
Well, government philosophies are not indications of righteousness. I hope to see you on the other side of the political table when we talk about things.
