We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

I can overlook a LOT for "He makes it work as it's supposed to, within the rule of law." Even if he's a bit (according to the 'elite') rude, crude, and uncultured, and doesn't do things the way THEY think they should be done.
Which, to be honest, hasn't been working all that well for quite a while. YMMV, results not guaranteed, and all that.
For some, appearances are far more important than results. Personally? I'll take results over appearances.
