It's sad that you're trying to make 'open-minded' a bad thing.

...and it's a shame that you consider identifying as conservative or progressive being "in lock step". 

If you pay attention to the threads you will see that 95% of the members on this board are text book liberal or conservative in their views, even those repping "no I'm not" posts. You give me a subject and I can tell you the way every regular on the board will go about 95% of the time. Of course there are issues here and there that everyone may not swing all the way to the left or right. For instance I'm not a big on gun rights as a far Right conservative. But by and large you give me a regular's name here and I will tell you if the are Progressive or Conservative.

No where did I try to make being open-minded a bad thing "nevergonnachange", I simply said many refused to identify because it makes them appear more open-minded; therefore, I referred to being open-minded as a good thing.

WTS, I repped you too. It seemed the thing to do.
