Liberal or Conservative?

Do you consider yourself liberal, conservative, or moderate?

HappyMan · 06-27-2002, 08:26 PM

None of the three choices would satisfy me. I am politically independent, socially and fiscally liberal but very very conservative when it comes to national defense...

Part of the problem is that these ideologies are not well defined, what exactly is the difference between liberal and conservative? It is not an easy question to answer. . .

libertarian is the way to go. (not to be confused w/liberal)

my philosophy "don't F*ck w/me and I won't F*uck w/you."

the only laws that should be upheld is the laws where there is actually a victim.

My only problem with liberterianism is that it would allow corporations to do anything unchecked. I think we need some corporate regulations, so I guess I'm a "green liberterian"

none of the choices are close to what I consider myself to be.

I really try to vote or act on issues by what I think will be the best choice for the greater good of our society.

I don't consider myself a liberal or conservative, because it seems that when you say 'I am ______' you basically think you have to vote for that party. A lot of my views on things could be considered liberal, but there are many people I wouldn't think about voting for who are liberal. Then again, there are a few opinions of mine that could be seen as conservative, but I wouldn't vote for the majority of conservatives.

I suppose it is the lesser of two evils

If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always get evil.

Vote GREEN! Vote LIB! Hell, even vote REFORM, ANYTHING to get the RepubliCrats out of their monopoly.

Yeah I'm libertarian too.

I suppose that makes me a "conservative". Liberals are fascists.

Pardon my blatant ignorance on the subject, but what exactly is a libertarian as opposed to the others?
