THAT IS WHY WE GET ALONG SO WELL. I am also a Conservative, Yeah a Conservative Redneck living in the Blue State of Connecticut. You can't make this S**T up. I am my only child, and a cancer survivor. I hate bureaucratic B.S., and have no tolerance for the "Nanny State" way of life. Yes, I can say I am CONSERVATIVE, and hate all things Progressive, Liberal, and want the Government to stay the HELL out of my life.".
