Is everyone that visits Hipforums a liberal? I don't think I've every come across anybody with a conservative midset.
call me stupid but i dont understand what liberal or conservative are. im guessing liberals want change, conservatives want things to stay as they are. allthough i think my guess is wrong.
well when speaking of government, yeah that would be right. when speaking of your own personal beliefs, its more like conservatives are the suit and tie, clean shaven, type people. liberals are more towards the hippie side where they believe most things should be accepted, like drug use, same sex marriage, and lots of other issues.
extreme liberalism - do whatever the fuck you want extreme conservatism - fuck imigrants, gays, drugs etc
yeah thats the other way to describe it. Preatty much a liberal=democratic party, and conservative=republican party.
I am balanced and level headed. Which makes me pretty moderate when it comes to politics. I think that most liberals and conservatives are complete idiots. But yet again, I also have no belief in this political system and don't really think that voting for a president makes any difference... so, it doesn't really matter.
Not at all. I know many democrats, have volunteered for the local democratic party and the democrats are not liberal at all. If you have seen the futurama episode where twins are running for president of the world then that is exactly how it is today. The democrats and republicans can be very partisan and differ on issues but they are still very conservative.
Liberal republican, Ron Paul.... Grotesque I bet you're parent's are republicans.. That's usually how it goes anyway. I grew up in a pretty liberal democratic household. Blue collar all the way, and I still feel the same.
fuck left & right. I call the shots as I see them, but I'm a nihilist and usually couldn't care less anyway. I think aligning yourself with any particular idealogy is idiotic, because both sides are full of morons and it just ends up being a block on anything you could think for yourself in the first place. some people like being another ripple in the tide and dig thinking in lockstep, but it isn't for me. anyway, left and right are much the same upon close inspection. personally, I think politics are redundant. the system is parasitic and corrupt anyway you look at it, and anarchy is just as bad (even though I endorse it more than a state). there really is no such thing as a perfect system, since ultimately one person will profit off of another. this isn't just human nature, it's nature.
well to tell the truth "liberal republican" just seems to be a contradiction, just like me, and you guessed it my parents are hoplessly fundamentalist christian conservative republicans (would probably vote bush in again if he was running) and i hate it because they follow whatever rush douchebag limbaug says. and the only reason im voting paul is cause he has some great iddeas that can change this country for the better, although i doubt the corporations will let him win. besides if he doesnt make it past the primary, im voting democrat(although id rather vote obama than hillary)
I'll side with Mark Twain on this one: the person best fit to be president is the one who would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the Oval Office. I disagree with a lot of R Paul's platforms, as well as personal convictions. I think I'd like him presiding over this country more than most other candidates, even though it doesn't matter since he'd be assassinated shortly after becoming president and he won't win anyway. better yet, I'd like a mushroom cloud to preside over the country.
Why is anarchy just as bad as the current government? Ron Paul is far from liberal. He is more closely a classical libertarian. If Ron Paul doesnt win the primary then maybe you should look more closely at third parties because I guarantee if you are a true libertarian you will not be happy with a moderate democrat or republican.
