Part Three:
As a Conservative Republican person I, although I personally oppose abortion, see that it is still legal; as such women and girls seeking abortions should not be attacked or harassed for their doing that, nor should clinics or their staff that provide those services be harassed or attacked.
As a Conservative Republican person I personally don’t believe in the use of capital punishment. I realize it is still legal in some states, and although on principle I disagree with it, I will support those states with capital punishment laws and in their performing them, as much as I fear they may too often get it wrong when it comes to the sentencing.
It is also a Conservative Republican person principle for me to not shy away from the facts of a matter, even when facts show my side has behaved poorly or is very much in the wrong. I am never afraid to say, “I was wrong” when it is proven that, yes, I was wrong.
As a Conservative Republican person do not be surprised if I point out, when you might argue a point against me or my side of the aisle, that there was precedent of the same thing done by your side. I will acknowledge it when the role is reversed. But don’t let that make you think I will accept that “two wrongs make a right.” I won’t do that. It would be politically dishonest.
As a Conservative Republican person, in fact, I do expect better behavior from my side, all the time, and as such I will likely be more critical of my side when it comes to bad political behavior.
Why?
I would hope that would be self-explanatory.
Getting back to the Border issue. I have lived in 3 of our 4 southern Border States. In one I lived within walking distance of the border and passed across and back many times both on foot and while driving. I also worked for a company in Texas that did border security work, within the area of surveillance both visually and with seismic sensors and the related communications hardware. I have traveled many miles along our southern border and know first hand how difficult but not unsolvable enhanced border security can be. I have no problem with that as a goal along side resolving so many other of our immigration issues; in particular the totally understaffed Immigration Courts system and recruiting and keeping good CBP personnel.
As a “principled Conservative Republican person” I don’t mindlessly hate people if they are Liberal or Democrat, or have an opposing view to mine. I see nothing in being a Conservative Republican person that demands of me that I hate President Obama or First Lady Michelle or anyone on the Left side of the aisle. I may eschew or greatly dislike or even hate some of their deeds or policies, that is another thing altogether, I do that with all pols. (A little more fudge on my part.) I don’t hate them, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be mean spirited to them in my posting, at times.
As a Conservative Republican person I can also take to task politicians I fully support without losing my Conservative Republican persona, despite what some might wrongly think.
As a Conservative Republican person I see no problem with anyone illustrating the failures or foibles of both sides of the aisle.
I guess that is all a good enough jumping off point.
What say you?
