Hi

just "shakin' all over" and Shakin' it off"

Welcome to the jungle where the "Lion sleeps tonight"

C'mon in and stay awhile :2wave:

Thom Paine
 
Welcome.
 
Howdy.

Is being slightly conservative like being slightly pregnant? ;)

Just kidding - welcome to the zoo and enjoy the fray.
 
What's 'slightly conservative'?

Hah, ninjad.

Then again, why restrict your political ideals to such a narrow and constricted alignment of thought? Why not allow yourself to bend depending on specific view-points presented and various other greater combinations of view-points to aggregate into a much greater and much more flexible new avenue of political thought?
 
I'm happy being a liberal Republican.
 
In some ways and by some definitions.



But neoconservatism mostly refers to foreign policy these days, yes?

On domestic policy I am anti-death penalty, want abortion legal, want same sex marriage legal, am at least theoretically in favor of unions in many circumstances, would like more spending on infrastructure (which shouldn't be a liberal idea but the "more spending" part seems to be), ....

Maybe I should call myself a moderate, but I'm hardcore Republican. Not moderate about it.

Those are all democrat positions. How are you republican?

Oh, and hi. :)
 
I am scared of unfettered liberalism.

I am in favor of government in moderation, which Democrats do not represent.

Lincoln wasn't liberal, and certain not in the modern sense. As much as liberal want to own Lincoln, he was a Republican and nothing like todays liberals.

I was asking her about her positions on abortion, SSM, etc. I guess what I meant was, "in what ways are you republican?".
