I'd call that socially liberal, but 1 of my items was specifically addressing fiscal liberalism. I'm pretty socially liberal in that I want religion out of government, I'm for legalizing drugs and prostitution, as well as Gay marriage. I don't think government has any right to invade my private life unless I'm doing something the violates someone else's rights. Fiscally I'm conservative, but that doesn't mean I oppose high taxes in some cases. For example if we're getting services that provides a good public value (such as education, transportation, or retirement welfare) then I'm for it. But if we're talking about Pork, then I'm against it since that's just haphazard reckless spending that comparatively few people benefit from. I also support a strong military defense and intelligence service. So am I conservative or liberal? I'd say I'm from the sensible center. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:152073 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
