re: Again, the reading comprehension
I said: You never identified yourself as a conservative except by the positions you take.
I can only identify you out of your own mouth. I cannot imagine you as a libertarian or an independent unless you say things that reflect that. So far, no.
So if you want me not to "imagine" or "presume", I'm already there. Just the evidence.
And conservative is not a party, at least not in the US. It's an attitude.
