It's more difficult.
Nothing at all against difficulty, but, apart from the rather asinine hook liberals try to deploy by their absurd use of the abortion/death penalty tactic,
....well don't proclaim to be pro-life because of the Bible and then later be pro-death.
It's not a hook.
Conservatives are Pro-Life and Pro-Death at the same time. :frusty:
That's ass in 9. :dry:

No, it's not, and no, they aren't.
You have to learn to separate the issues properly, B.

Oh no I get the rationale...
A baby is an innocent life that hasn't done anything to warrant premature death.
A person convicted of a heinous crime is (most likely) deserving of death 'cause a judge and/or jury said so.
Uh huh I get it.
Still it doesn't change the fact that the Cons are...
a Pro-Liphe/Def combo. :dry:

Is there a manual anywhere that states what you have to believe to be a conservative or liberal? For some odd reason I was under the impression that political views were an individual thing. I was also under the impression not all conservatives were pro life and not all were pro death.

I would say that is true enough; Conservatives (according to the manual) are anti-abortion, however may fall on either side of the line when considering the death-penalty/life-imprisonment question-I see circumstantial reasons for having both, but would guess that the issue would be less pressing if it developed that life in prison meant life in prison.
A Conservative has a law-and-order orientation in any case, and does not favor namby-pamby sentencing procedures and rampant plea-bargaining.
Busyman:
You are arguing half of the issue; you make the mistake of assigning a moral equivalence to each action when such doesn't apply.
A side-light of the "death" issue is euthanasia, which most Conservatives do not abide easily.
Re: City of New York; FDNY release oral histories re:911...
Gawd i hate this Liberal/Conservative crap...
Just about everyone will be "Liberal" on some issues and "Conservative" on others.
Apart from the ideological idiots of course :snooty:

Do you mean you want to start from scratch?
Okay; I subscribe to no political ideology, and you have no idea whatsoever about my views on any issues at all.
What would you like to know? :P
Re: City of New York; FDNY release oral histories re:911...
BTW-
How is it, with all the slings and arrows I deal with in here, that I have never disavowed my conservatism, yet the rest of you writhe in agony at the prospect of being labeled liberal/socialist, or even communist, like my friend Rat?
