I'm a socially liberal (and pro-life) moderate Republican, how's that for a mouthful?? :)<br />I think that CM is right that it's unfortunate that in order to talk about politics or the "big issues" we have to find some way to put each other in handy boxes. Oh, Republican? Okay, right wing crazy fanatic. Democrat? Socialist liberal guilt crazy. Really? I think that if we could somehow get to the place where we could realize that people's views on issues are as diverse as their personalities and rarely does a box on a voter registration card capture their full range of beliefs...maybe then we could talk and respect each other and reach some compromises to actually address a thing or two.<br />That's the idealist in me anyway :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-43411663807126570872009-04-18T03:35:00.000-07:002009-04-18T03:35:00.000-07:00I disagree with you on abortion, but I am happy to...I disagree with you on abortion, but I am happy to hear from someone who is proud to be a pro-life liberal. I think we could have a much better discussion, and possibly even some acceptable resolution, if people didn't see others who disagree with them on abortion as being the polar opposite on every issue.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559451322234777335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-58580972801880224852009-04-17T12:23:00.000-07:002009-04-17T12:23:00.000-07:00I think you're right, that it makes no sense at al...I think you're right, that it makes no sense at all that pro-lifers tend to be politically and socially conservative while pro-choicers tend to be politically and socially liberal. Politically conservative would seem to equate to limiting government, not extending it to dictate which types of surgeries we can or cannot have performed on our bodies. And politically liberal would seem to fall right in line with more government intervention, including what surgeries are allowed by law and accordingly funded by tax money or outright denied by law. It's backwards, seems to me.gudnuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404362959136843111noreply@blogger.com
