Why must we infer other's belief system from a sampling of their posts?
Over the last years, I have posted under the name manning, manning4 and manning5 a number of papers that define my beliefs, state my positions on the world of events, and generally commented on OPP from a Conservative viewpoint. In perspective, I might as well have written them in the sand, only for them to be washed away when the tide comes in.
To name a few of these posts I believe to be of some importance to me here is a listing of their titles:
A World Outline
Major Issues
Belief System
A Christian Worldview
A Brief Comparison Between Conservatism and the Left
A Worldview in 84 Phrases
Key Conservative Actions
Belief System Matrix
Really Simple Conservatism
And many more!
I believe these posts and others represent my views fairly completely, no matter that they have been washed away with time.
My point here is that I do not see at OPP very many similar, in-depth revelations of belief from others, with a few really outstanding exceptions, mainly from the Rightists.
.
Thus for reading many posters here what they stand for in life is not altogether clear, with the obvious exception of Trump hatred, which is the principal stuff of left wingers, and the various atheistic posters that seem to believe in nothing, and want us to go along with them down the tube.
There should be a common file here on OPP where each serious poster actually sets forth his own belief system for all to read at any time, all in a systematic fashion. Perhaps even a form that asks the key questions would be helpful to all of us.

I for one Manning, always look forward to your posts and for me they do not wash away from the sand. In my opinion , if over the last 40 years, schools had a required course named "The Manning principles of living" , we would not be in the irreparable mess that we are in.
There are precious few remaining that are as grounded and steadfast as you.
