I have found a haven in our small but dedicated local Democrat party. It has saved my sanity. I have actually had to end relationships with people due to their inflexible political and religious views. In social groups here, people assume that everyone is a Republican which I find offensive, especially when they bad mouth our president.

(As if it is practically impossible for one to be a christian and a democrat at the same time.) I stand or the separation of church and state as I believe that our forefathers did. Not to protect religion from the grasp of government, but to protect government from the grasp of religious fanatics. I always feel like I'm the only 'blue' in a sea of red.
