FWIW, I was raised Republican -- that's how my family has always been and mostly continues to be (my dad sometimes gets a little soft-headed-populist).

Don't blame me. *I* voted for Kodos.

I'm not a purist of anything.

So we're into blended concepts. Yes there's moderation in even my outlandish positions.
