I am not a republican. I am an independent conservative. As posted below, I researched the terms and stand corrected on the use of Democratic Party and a member of the party being a democrat. I have no problem learning and admitting when I am wrong. The problem is when those of you on the left insist on being childish and insulting. Also, when presented with facts, you will never admit being wrong. Narcissistic flattery? I may come off a bit snide sometimes but I do not question the intelligence or education level of any person commenting. I will not dignify your response about grade level other than to say that there are college grads out there who are far worse than most commenters on here, especially in the use of grammar, spelling and punctuation
