I have ran with nothing BUT Ultraconservative or make that ULTRA ULTRA conservative men (better make that ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA CONSERVATIVE men) for the last EIGHTEEN YEARS and I find them to be some of the most fearful, insecure, obsessed with straining out every gnat while swallowing camels basket cases I have know either IN or OUT of church.
