There are few questions I hear more and dislike less than this one. And to a certain extent I can understand the question. I’m tempted to ask the same of someone from time to time. But why do we want to know this? Why is it one of the first questions we ask? It’s almost as though we want to categorize, and put into a box, someon’es political and spiritual beliefs so we can understand them better. When in fact, probably 80% of the country and/or western world doesn’t fall into one or the other exclusively. I would say there are probably about 10% on either side that truly and fully share the beliefs of the party. People are complicated. It’s convenient to know where someone stands so you can watch what you say, or relate in some way. But it isn’t practical and it’s hardly possible. I’m probably in the majority in thinking this way, so these ideas are less than groundbreaking or profound.
