I put my political views as "religious right", but I'm not entirely happy with that. It identifies my too closely with fundementalist Christians with the whole 6 day creationism. I don't want to be associated with that. I didn't think Conservative covered it. I want something that expresses both Catholicism and small-c conservatism. Any suggestions?

All right, MakeYouThink, God is our only weapon... God is the sword. Holy Water and scapulars and such are the finely sharpened blade. Happy?

I just want to present a different POV, a humble one. I use to be a I prayed for that kind of person. With me saying that, I was saying a statement of pride, saying, somehow, that it was more important that I prayed than the work God did. . . But conversing with God, I couldn't go a day without talking to him, listening to him, loving him, because he is my love. Edited August 25, 2008 by MakeYouThink
