instead of blending it, as Christianegoist would do, I am personally more comfortable just acknowledging where there is a straight-forward agreement. I'm with you abaco, somehow trying to force a blend is somewhat intellectually dishonest. There's so much to appreciate where both philosophies align.

I feel your pain, I too have a Rabid Progressive Liberal for a Brother in Law, he is currently disseminating a diatribe against the obstructive abuses of the Republican Party, and while I don't often agree with the GOP either, they are the only group of size standing between us and the runaway train that is Democrat entitlement spending.

No she did not die poor. She owned a home and numerous incomes from royalties related to her body of works. During her treatment for lung cancer she begrudgingly allowed her attorney's assistant to enroll her in medicare and social security (Which she helped fund through her tax payments).
