I am now a progressive. Progressives have principles. Progressives are leaders. I admire progressives. The more I study I embrace this. I have had to. My old conservative friends have really tried me on for size. They have challenged me each step of my journey so I had to challenge myself as well. This has been great because now I kick their ass in debates because I am informed and do not repeat talking points. There is no person more enthusiastic than someone who has changed their views based on facts, logic, reason, and research. I have even converted some of them. Bring it on!!!! lol. My big weakness and lack of real knowledge is climate change. I am not just signing on. I want these opinions to be mine based on research. I dd research Fracking. OMG.. That is an easy one. Fracking poisons people and the environment. Climate change.....not so easy.
