For me, my politics were always about economic policy. I assumed


every decent American was socially progressive. Who doesn't want to be simply critiqued on your merits rather than race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, religion. etc. To me, meritocracy is equality. Nothing given. Everything is earned. That also means providing a level playing field FOR EVERYONE.

My favorite Bible verse is Roman's 13:9. I think some of my Christian brothers and sisters have lost their way. We seem to point out what's wrong with people rather than accepting of our differences. Matthew 7:1 ... who are we to judge? Just accept everyone for who they are as long as they are respectful and nice.
