Amen to that.
I form my values first and let my political positions follow rather than deciding on my political positions first and then rationalizing my values accordingly. Conforming to a political ideology is merely conforming, and that is every bit as true for "liberals" (or especially as the more rigidly conformist like to call themselves "progressives") as it is "conservatives", the intolerance of both increasing along with people's doggedness in attaching themselves to the label.
The end product of both right wing and left wing political ideologies results in Nazi like behavior.
