I prefer "consistent" or even "unwavering". And, I do not advocate "forcing" anything upon others (although I will use every means of persuasion to try and encourage others to avoid the behavior which I oppose). The issue (politically) is that I object to using my tax money to finance things which I believe are wrong (just as I did with the Vietnam War, for example). >>I strongly disagree with your position on abortion but will defend your right to express it. YOu have the right to be wrong.<< When my first wife (deceased) first began to date me, she found a comment in a magazine, cut it out, and kept it in her wallet under my photograph. It read: "In moments controversial, my perception is quite fine I clearly see both points of view The one that's wrong, and mine...." Nothing has changed. :-) Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M.
