Would you believe Ol' Rush is a cat person?
He’s a cat person!
My rules on whether I trust a person or not are as follows:
1. Never trust a cat person.
2. If the person owns cats and dogs, I can trust that person.
3. If that person has extremely opposite political views from me, I can trust them if that person has a dog. This works, unless the person actually holds office. And then I don’t trust that person.
4. If a Democrat, liberal, or progressive has only cats, well, rule #1 applies. I’m am “dogmatic” about this– no pun intended.
Why? I like animals that look at you when you talk to them.
Cats are okay. I would own with dogs, and if I couldn’t give a dog a good life, I’d get a cat as a substitute. However, they aren’t my first choice.
BTW, I should tell everyone who frequents the blog my biases. I’m a Democrat. A bleeding heart liberal, like Michael Stivic.
About the only issues about which I am “conservative” are the 2nd Amendment, immigration (I don’t think we should be dragging race into this debate, however), and the value of hunting and trapping. I’m also not a vegetarian. Everything else, well, I’m on the bleeding heart, Kucinich wing of the party. I’ve had to talk myself out of voting for Ralph Nader several times, including this last time.
Quite the mix of views there. Respectfully disagree about the cats, though — gotta love ’em, especially us liberals
I think you are stealing my lines, lol.
BTW, if you need a cat substitute for a dog, accept only the Maine Coon cat.
From a NPR Liberal in California, caretaker for two dogs who love me and two outside cats who hate me, to a fellow liberal on the Right Coast, sure appreciate your views! Oh, and just how left coast can one be? I refuse to join any political party (all corrupt!) and simply join and leave parties so that I can vote my conscience in each election. Thus far I have registered Independent (until I realized what that meant, that it is a real party), Libertarian, Green, Democrat, and although it caused some intense discussions at home Republican.
In Vermont, we have a Progressive Party, too. But then, most people think Vermont is part of Canada.
You also have Bernie Sanders, which is saying a lot.
