I am fiscally conservative and socially very liberal. joemess New

From: Pinecricker

that's what I was trying to get at. From where you stand, what do you consider liberal or on the left?

note

I don't. Liberal has lost its meaning as a useful term and is used as an insult.... <NT> joemess New

note

I'll try anyway... A Liberal would help someone in need out and thinks the public good is vital to society.... joemess New

Nothing wrong with that, but at what point do you become an "enabler" of their problems? rlhartman New

Counting what the gov't took out of my last paycheck?... Pinecricker New

good for you decker New

note

lots.... joemess New

feedback

thanks for replying... and giving decker New

note

its a risk to be sure... But I worry less about the small percent that I am enabling joemess New

note

OK how about a different angle, are you to the left or right of say Nancy Pelosi or Ted Kennedy?... Pinecricker New

note

probably vote Yes as I value other opinions even when I do not agree with them entirely. <NT> joemess New

note

Re: "do not agree with them entirely" - Interesting answer, so how much do your views overlap with Pelosi? Pinecricker New

note

how much do you agree with her... joemess New

smile

Oh trust me, it's a definite 0%.... Pinecricker New

note

philosophically 40-50%.... her methodology 10-20% joemess New

note

pick some far right folks to compare.... <NT> joemess New

note

Ok, starting in the center and moving to the right... Pinecricker New

note

cannot argue with any of that.... <NT> joemess New

note

Classically, "liberal" simply meant "for liberty" or "against authoritarianism". Chrisj New
