text: True to toaddum...yes I have read the constitution, and your non-sequitur suggested you are bating. So I'll bite...my wife is free to do as she pleases and if she were to convert I would chat with her and, because I love and respect her, I would support her. That said, we fought a civil war over the interpretation of the constitution, we fought two world wars to protect it...and little d represents a real and disgusting danger to it. I do not preach...I'll leave that you. Because as a thinking human given, with rights and a free will, I choose to think, listen, observe and learn...it's mind-blowing what happens! There are many conservatives I admire because their actions are consistent with their values...and they make our community a better place. We might vote differently but their choices and vision inform mine because I listen...Mark, Vic, Bob all had important contributions to Oregon. But what I can't stomach is the marketing of vitriol and misinformation as it feeds hate.
