I have said many times before...it doesn't bother me...... better be a liberal than a conservative, just don't complain when I lump you in with phelps when labelling conservatives.Originally Posted by j2k4

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
Thanks for that admission.Originally Posted by vidcc

BTW, vid-
I spoke not one word of "lumping", either.
This tactic is unnecessary.

Like I said i don't care what group you want to label me with overall, but I am definately not a conservative.
on many things i am liberal on others, libertarian...I am far right of you when it comes to being a libertarian on a vast range of issues and left on others.

I find that, for myself, Conservative (of the popular "labels") best denotes or encompasses my views, a relative few of which can be construed as Libertarian.Originally Posted by vidcc
I've found, in a lifetime of playing about "in the field" so to speak, that the vast majority of one's views must fall in one or another of the several ideological catagories in order that one might be defined as any other than confused; that is to say that one cannot entertain the full variety of choice in every area as someone who is "sufficiently engaged", and then coherently espouse ideas of several camps simultaneously merely to lay claim to the tag, "Pragmatist", which is a polite way to describe someone who is just wishy-washy.
What is it to say, "I am far right of you when it comes to being a libertarian on a vast range of issues"?
I beg you, please clarify this, and then provide an example wherein you might comfortably describe yourself as being to my ideological right?![]()

Have you knowledge of my inveterate hatred of "fags"?

conservatives are supposed to believe in small government with minimal powers in the private world. you believe that government has a place making laws and rules that determine what goes on in the privacy of ones own home...ones living arrangements. Now to me that would be government interference ...something you would pin onto liberals.... So I am far right of you on this.
As to phelps... if you remove the vitriol.... isn't he just pushing conservative values?.... certainly not liberal.
I find it hard to believe you have no knowledge of him.
On the wishy washy part I would suggest that if taking a stance on each issue rather than following a set rule makes one wishy washy then it's better than the alternative...being a brainwashed sheep
