I'm not the most most liberal. I believe the government's role is to monitor our lives, not control it.

Where is the Constitution is that task given to the government?

And for what purpose is monitoring if not for control?

I think you misspelled "arrogant idiot"

Nope, I meant moonbeam. If I wanted to say arrogant idiot, I would have mentioned CadKindaGuy, but I felt like being nice tonight.

Meaning that you base intelligence on political opinion, which is pretty damned stupid IMO.

Moonbeam is only massively intelligent if you can't read between the LSD-soaked flowery words. Most of the time he's just writing BS phrased in such a way as to sarcastically confuse the lowbrows. He's pretty damn cruel about it from time to time even, it must go right over your head.

Oddly enough, Moonbeam does get my vote for most liberal and CAD for most conservative, and they both do get my respect, though I think many people here give Moonie more due than he is worth simply because of his unique writing style.

I don't know I think that liberal thinking is very prevelant here. (one of the reasons I follow this forum closely). Being a liberal myself I think that it is reassuring to know there are some members that think the same way as me.

You are correct. There is a definate liberal majority on this board. Not as in hippie. pinko communisist type of liberalism, but the general mood here does go a bit left of center. Many of the people here that I would consider a bit left of center will swear they are dead on center though.

Kinda funny, cause both political parties are pretty much the same these days. Sometimes, it is hard to tell them apart. The only noticiable difference is that the really left people want the rich to pay for the poor. And the really right was to abolish the government. But if you look at most of the social issues, both political parties are very similiar. Teh mainstream is a hodgepodge. I don't mean to say that people on the left and right are the same... I am talking about political parties of present.

Where I , personally, would fall into category... I am a Constitutionilist.

Welcome to the Libertarian party. Our numbers are few but growing quickly due to the majority being scared away because of the extreme polarization of the 2 major parties. Hell, why not elect a caucus instead of a person because there is no deviation from party platforms.

I mean Bush...Yay for the military and striking fear into the heart of those that hate America. Boo, because he never met a dollar he didn't spend, his religious fanaticism and forcing his moral beliefs on others.

Kerry, Yay, he's not Bush. Boo, he stands for nothing but whatever the recent gallup poll says the majority of people want and who gives a damn if you've been plotting to take over the Presidency even before becoming a "War Hero"

I can't see anyone hating a man so much that they would vote for someone simply because he was not the other guy. The Democrats were stupid enough to nominate one of only a handful of people that could possibly lose. The Republicans were just smart enough to squeak by in 2000 and possibly in 2004, god help us...Where is Montgomery Brewster when you need him?

:thumbsup: You, sir, are my new hero!

The left leaning here on AT is due to the primary demographic on the board, i.e. college kids, or young priviledged affluents. The working class they claim to love and want to help actually dislikes them and is far more conservative.

I would agree with this. I would also point out that I was, at their age, a liberal leaning person as well. I even voted for Bill Clinton in '92.

Then I grew up.

Same here.

You know what they say, "If you're not a liberal when you're young, then you have no heart, but if you're not a conservative when you're older, then you have no brain."

I'm not American, but I can't understand why anyone would vote for Bush, regardless of their partisan affiliation.

If I would vote, it would be for the Democrats, most of the time.

Well, maybe you don't oppose socialism. Those who do have a very hard time voting for democrats because they usually support socialist policies. The same goes for nanny-state laws and victimless crimes.

The Republicans support socialist policies, too. Although not to the degree of the democrats.

Democratic Liberal Socialism is an easy political agenda to fall for. It just sounds so nice. Act charitably and use government to right every wrong, and effectively change the world for the better. For young adults first opening their fearful eyes to the cruel and evil outside world, it is very attractive. It falls apart under 2 simple reality tests though. The first is that it is not fiscally feasible and will destroy a nation economically. The second is that the world, for all its talk, does not want to be changed, therefore the government will have to effect this change through force, and suddenly all this beneficial charity is done at gunpoint. Such is how the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

I agree with you on Bush though. That is because he is not an actual conservative (or American Federalist Republican), but is a National Socialist (aka Nazi or fascist).

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Liberal:
steeplerot - AKA Ralph Nader.
Moonbeam - Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy.
dmcowen - Even Poe would be agast at how mind numbingly depressing and negative this guy is.
conjur - Crazed Liberal cut & paste.

Conservative:
CADkindaGUY - Mind numbingly predictable with his stances.
heartsurgeon - AKA Rush Limbaugh.
Riproin - Crazed Conservative cut & paste.

I know I wish we could get a fiscally conservative, socially liberal political party started that didn't go as far as the current libertarian party.

conjur isn't even very liberal.


liberals - perknose, bali babydoc, todd33, moonbeam

conservatives - DARI, cadkindamoron, cpa, taggart, riprorin (don't care enough to know the spelling to this one)


i think the liberals stand out more because most of what the conservatives have to say are either unintelligent, or rhetoric you could hear on fox news.



edit: these are the libs/cons. of the moment...people come and go... i also remember a mushroomkill or munstakilla...can't remember, but he was pretty liberal.

Not a biased statement, though, huh?

 

[Cobalt]

Perknose is an intelligent liberal who doesn't go over the top... so maybe he doesn't count. But for conservative, Riprorin or Crimson.
