Well, calling me liberal for echoing the sentiments of Rand Paul and Dean Heller makes me think you were correct in asserting a fifth grade mentality.

It's rather annoying....
You aren't kidding. Did you ever hang with anyone that wants to beat a subject to death? What do you do? Get away from them. They are boring drags who will waste your life. That's what people who want to beat this subject to death remind me of boring drags who will suck the life out of you if you let them.

I get called liberal, too, even though I hold conservative positions on many issues. I just can't tolerate racism, and fiscal issues are more important to me than social (despite having socially conservative views).

Just dumb? Didn't Bundy ever take a history class?

Slaves for sale.

I believe the common denominator between rural republicans and racism is lack of education.

Racism is not a conservative value by any means. You and I are probably more conservative than most of the extremists we see here daily who claim to be conservative.
