Why do you doubt that blabby and I have each others backs?
Oh, I don't doubt it at all. From me, an "uh huh" or a "mm hmm" frequently followed by and eye roller can mean either disbelieve or "no s**t, sherlock". In this case it's the latter since it's no surprise to me that two Washington progressives have each others backs.

I am sincerely sorry to learn that your family had to move so much while you were growing up. As a matter of fact, I moved only twice as a kid, and that had to do with the fact that my mom was scared I'd get hit by a car on the busy street outside of our house - nothing to do with economics. I attribute our good fortune to the steady employment and good wage with benefits my dad got at his unionized job.
Then you should note that I've gotten over it (what else is there to do?) and adapted and continue to adapt to the world I inherited, not lament fruitlessly over the inevitable turn of the tides that "changed" things.

The notion that believers are only social and economic conservatives is a myth promoted by the right
I didnt say are only, but that Christianity is
predominantly the domain of the right.

- blabby and I are living proof of that, as was your liberal family.
My family is f*****g nuts, plain and simple. I could fill volumes on memory alone.

And social Darwinism is a despicable pseudo-science, with no real connection to scientific, biological Darwinism. Charles Darwin never once used his scientific findings to justify social inequality.
Read what I said to Aunt Blabby about that.

And inclosing - I suggest you hearken back to your days growing up as a Methodist,....
We went to the Methodist Church at my mother's insistence (the old very man rarely went and was a Nazarene by upbringing, anyway) only as a feelgood measure. We hardly practiced it at home beyond tacky symbolism and even mention of God or Jesus by me without being prompted to was scorned. Some methodist upbringing
but it goes back to my family being nutzo.

....instead of hanging on every word spouted by the right.
I think I've made it evident that I do not stick to the party line. As I've said before, I went conservative in my teens based on what I had observed and had experience up to that point, not what anyone told me to believe.
you're really starting to grasp at straws which speaks volumes.......
