Not anymore. Esp. not my mom. I'd like to think I played some part in that over the years

They were pretty much only concerned with lower taxes though, which they thought the GOP would give them. They were never super-'conservative', again esp. not my mom.

What's kinda funny though is my stepdad was more 'conservative' (he's an Annapolis grad, as was his father), but I've known he was an atheist since I was a child. My mom's more agnostic, then and now.
