I can actually accept some things just fine. For instance, while I'm an unapologetic evangelical Christian, I could support an agnostic or even an atheist president, so long as they were not toxically intolerant with regard to religion. My single highest political value is individual liberty, and I think that the best means of preserving it is a strict adherence to the Constitution. So as long as the candidate takes a more or less original intent interpretation of the Constitution - and not just by lip service, but by record also - then I can support that candidate.......even if he does not share my faith.
But I do think you're right in that, increasingly, it is difficult to find candidates for office that are that committed to the Constitution. So yes, my options get reduced.
Wholeheartedly. I admit to being that person, some days an Atheist, other days an Agnostic. However, personal beliefs aside, individual liberties are at the top of the list here. Silence has never been an option for me, but I believe the process works after a time. Part of the problem is that time is limited and sitting back & waiting for someone else to make the decisions for you without your input flat does not work.
