Political positions versus our conscience


I don't always take what some would call "progressive positions" and I don't always take what others would call "right-wing", "far-right" or "alt-right" positions.

But in some cases I may take a position that falls under one of these labels, if anyone can work out what the hell they mean and how one person can fit their myriad thoughts and beliefs into just one of them.

I like to take things on a case by case basis, and don't fully subscribe to any one overaching philosophy.

I like Taoism, Buddhism and much of Christianity, particularly the 4 gospels of the recorded life of Jesus of Nazareth. 

Jesus's words, as recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, I give great importance to but my ultimate guide to my behaviour is my conscience, which is what I believe we were given one for.
