I'm shocked when I discover an otherwise intelligent person is "conservative" or "liberal".
That's like discovering an astronomer who believes in horoscopes.
Or a neurosurgeon who believes headaches can be relieved by letting the evil spirits out of the sufferer's skull by drilling holes in it.
Or a biologist who believes flies spontaneously spring from rotting meat.
Or an astronaut who believes the Earth is flat.
It simply makes no sense whatsoever.
