I'm a traditional conservative who was raised Catholic, but now I see myself as a nonaligned deist/unitarian.  I don't need any ecclesiastical institution to tell me how to think or behave. As a free adult, I can make my own judgments and decisions.  That being said, I totally support Israel's right to exist and consider myself a Gentile Zionist.  Israel is also one of America's greatest friends and allies.  Something we need in a dangerous world.
