Just curiouse as to what everyone is I can kind of tell by the way people debate, but some times I can't tell.
I am assuming that this is a more liberal site but that is what I hope to find out....

Sometimes I feel reductionist bipolar polls like this are asking if you're a cat or a fish?
What about centrists, moderates, independents? At least include a "none of the above" option for the rest of us!

I'm neither.. but i picked liberal because I'm the type who's so liberal to the point that I think it's fine for idiots like the Klan and neo-fascists and satanists to exist and have their viewpoints - definitely not the bleeding-heart/authoratarian/socialist type

ahh no longer do you have to decide "Cat or Fish?"
you may now be a catfish go to this page New Thread so be a cat or be fish or be a whatever the f you want . if I didn't list it make up a new party (because isn't that what America is about?) but I am peronally partial to the free pony and ice cream party.

I am personally conservative... but I am more liberal of other peoples ideas...
I live by the idea of, what you do is your business until it interferes with me.
So people can have their views, ideas, opinions, practices, etc.... whatever they want... I don't care.
I personally may be pro-life, pro-business, anti-union, and believe personal freedom and independence from the federal gov't, but we live in a democracy and majority rules. Just cause someone else has a different view doesn't mean I have to hate them or anything... that is their opinion. You can always discuss opinions, but they don't often change much, so there is no point in trying to control what other people do. Pretty much as far as major rules go you have the big 4. Don't kill for no good reason, Don't Rape, Don't Steal, Do unto others as you would want done unto you. Beyond that most things are just nitpicky things.

I hear ya bro... for some reason Americans classify their views either as Liberal or Conservative.
Does Liberal mean centrist or leftist? In Canada, the Liberal party is centrist... its funny how I hear American news always criticise "Liberals" as if they were Communists or something. It weird how a country can love liberty without liking to be liberal.
I am a Progressive all the way
