New England has a lot of Independents .Evidently you don't realize the difference.
"Liberals" aren't a political party, it's a view of the importance of historically
dominating traditions and institutions in deciding policy, along with
"conservative."
There is a place for both, a questioning in the validity of those institutions
and whether abandoning them is truly in the best interest of our society, in
an intelligent mind.
I regard you as a fellow intelligent mind, as I regard many conservatives
who make sense and sensible arguments... even if, as someone who tends
to be liberal, I often disagree.
As for Republicans and Democrats, it's no different than pulling for the
different sports teams a lot of the time. Do you evaluate that based on
an appraisal of who has the best minds and athletic talent, or loyalty to
a certain city or player?
