Conservative or Liberal?

[mcantar18c]

As to me messing up a thread, well its a free country.

I'm going to go off on a tangent here...
I've seen/heard people use the "Its a free country" bullshit as an excuse for doing things that are generally unacceptable for as long as I can remember. Society has a number of unwritten "codes" that reasonable people generally follow... this is called being RESPECTFUL. Basic things like don't cut in front of people in lines, dress nicely for Church, give pregnant woman and elderly your seat if no others are available nearby, etc. Too many people don't do these things, because they weren't taught respect and discipline as a child, and when I see people doing things like that and/or using the copout "Its a free country," I get the impression that they're disrespectful pricks.

You know something Nynco. F*ck off pal. Did I "pick on you" little boy? Grow a pair. I impled when WE (collective WE), get into a debate with YOU that the thread derails. Did I call you a name? Did I mention your politics? Nope. So reach down, pull up your little skirt, take some criticism for a change and f*ck off. And you little prick, compare me to neo Nazis who sing in the same choir? For my own sake I'm damn glad I'm nowhere near you right now because I would end up in jail. Another uneducated illiterate unintelligent little liberal who cries to mommy and has to immediately slander a conservative because their fragile ego was bruised. You worthless ball sack. You don't want to read me, put me on your ignore list if you are smart enough to figure it out.

AMEN.
Think that quote would fit in a sig?

Damn, I didn't make 100%. Guess I'm going to have to trade in my LaRue Tactical Shirts for TieDie!

This has been pretty interesting as a group experiment on views. Like others have said, a bit narrow to generalize someone, but it does show that even thought we may be dominantly conservative, there are some areas that border on gray.

The one particular question that threw me was the one on the Govt controlling unemployment. I kind of misread it. I was thinking the Govt affecting unemployment. But the question reads, govt controlling. We all know how well things go when the govt controls them. Anyways, that one threw me for 15% liberal.

Most of those questions were bullshit. But I think the 70/30 split is about right. Not so sure on the individuals.

You have to take it issue by issue, in my opinion. I support the fiscal austerity that the GOP talks about... but not what they actually have done. I support (some) of what the Dems talk about in terms of social issues... but mostly because there they happen to align with a libertarian viewpoint. None of that is going to come across in a poll like this.

Neither party does a very good job of representing my will, and they both do a piss poor job of managing the country, and have done so for far longer than I've been able to vote.

Fiscally and Defensively I agree 100% on, but ethically I'm really not so sure the questions produced a fair assessment.

I got the same thing. I think the "corporations responsibility" question swayed my results for personal responsibility, but I think it mostly comes down to: I don't care what you do, if it doesn't affect me at all.
