Really? I didn't think there were any conservative homosexuals... ;-)

But I guess what it should read is "If a conservative is homosexual, he leads a quite life, picking up dates in public bathrooms, living in shame, and attempting to pass legislation showing that' he's really not gay."

A conservative is more likely to force/legislate his or her social agenda on others. Conservatism is about conformity.

A liberal stands up for the individual rights to be left alone.

Who truly seeks freedom and independence?

Cool. So we can expect the democrats to stop their attack on people's right to bear arms then?

Hiya Erps,
How goes it on the other side of the PAcific?
I have a question about the right to bear arms in America. I know this is a hot debate and am not getting into it - just would like some clarification:
Isnt your constitution give the right to bear arms for militia to be raised ( back in the revolutionary times) & therefore, not meant to be read as a right of an individual?

[krozet]

Partisan trite....

Republicans simply attack, invent facts, rely on a religious or uninformed mass (both the same thing) and pander to fear. They do not compromise as someone with a different view isn't acknowledged, just attacked.

Oh and I am neither a Liberal or Conservative. They both have positives and negatives.

"A conservative is more likely to force/legislate his or her social agenda on others."
So just when did President Obama become a conservative?

Greetings St Anna. That was a theory that gained some acceptance in the past few decades but was rejected by the Supreme Court last summer in a Washington D.C. gun case when the courts ruled that it is an individual right that the people already had and that the framers of the constitution protected in our bill of rights.
