A Nonconformist and Anonymous Conformist

This blog is called 'anonconformist' for two reasons:

1. Nonconformist: My belief in, yea commitment to, social freedoms paired with my conservative stance on social programs, taxation, illegal immigration, and the war on terror... yields me a nonconformist in any party, any culture or subculture. In spite of my position in life, the social circles in which I travel and the body in which I was born, the sum total of my beliefs do not mirror, in any way, shape or form, the views of most of my peers.
   
2. Anon(ymous) Conformist: I love a good debate, but I also respect the rights to other opinions. I'll confess to you that I shock the bjeebers out of friends when I make my points, for they have little or no factual ammunition with which to retort. I never take the opportunity to revel or drive the point home, because I believe we learn more when our backs aren't up against a wall. And so, in my own mind, if no other... I am an anonymous conformist.

I Don't Heart Huckabee

On the surface and earlier in the presidential marathon, Mike Huckabee has seemed to me to be... while likely not the candidate I would vote for, certainly an all around good guy with whom I would enjoy sharing a meal or a heart-to-heart conversation.

As this political season has progressed however, and as I have come to know him better, I'm pretty sure I've changed my mind.

Forget my bulleted list, my sentiment could not be better expressed.
