I like guns and hunting, I eat meat, but I also love tofu,
listen to punk rock, drive a Volvo and drink coffee.

Am I a liberal?

1. I don't know
I would have to know your positions to judge that. Although, posting here is rather strong evidence that you are;-)

23. How do you know he isn't drinking Progressive coffee?
You know the expensive kind where they pay people who harvest it enough to survive and such?

My brain is not remembering the real title, but the coffee shop across the street from me where I go sells it.

Don't tell me to give up caffeine! How else could I blog all night and work all day?!

27. Liberals don't drink Starbucks!!!
Liberals go to hip, arty, local coffee houses that have anti Bush stickers and local art on the wall. Plaheeese.

Big corp chain products are for Repukes. :P

31. True, but I live in Republican Hell.
Starbucks is all we got. On top of that, it's not even a full-fledged Starbucks; it's a subsection of the Safeway. How pathetic is that?!

24. I only like it crispy or totally blended.
The texture does creep me out a bit. Took me a loooong time to try it.

17. nowt there that offends me and even if there was
what right do I have to tell you not to do things just coz they piss me off? None of my business.

I used to shoot a helluva lot, I fish 30-40 times a year and I live in deer hunting country. Latter is essential to support our fragile rural economy.

I'm a left of centre liberal on most issues but I'm wary of banning things just because a majority of people don't agree with them...the "Tyranny of the majority". (Alexis de Tocqueville)

34.  I'd love one of those-was checking the auto ads all day yesterday.
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 01:54 PM by candy
All I said was "Should I? I owe it to myself"

The I'd say"Nah,too expensive,you dont drive enough"

And then I'd repeat the same things over and over.


p.s.---No gun rack,thank you very much!

22. Maybe you are evolving into a better person.
Most of us have little bits and pieces that aren't 100% liberal, but I think we can all learn to be more progressive and making changes that benefit the planet make sense when you know more about how badly we are treating it.

I also think not all of the traditional values are bad. Let people live their lives the way they want to and such, but the way the Bushits are pushing every part of fundie religion down our throats makes that an unpalitable stance even to myself.

Why don't you call yourself a moderate and see where it takes you?

Welcome to DU.

30. sure. You're a liberal who prefers meat that hasn't had
hormones, antibiotics and steroids injected into it. You're lucky to have a less toxic source of food than most of us.

Fuck I watch too much Bill Maher.

33. My Parents were Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian FDR worshiping Dems
My parents had a unique perspective.

They were Fundamentalist Evangelical Christians who were RABID Democrats worshiped FDR.

They grew up in a rural community during the Great Depression, and so they had all the "Red State" values and lifestyles...BUT they lived thru the Depression and saw what FDR did for masses of destitute people, hence they were lifelong Democrats.

They told me that the two greatest things to happen to the human race were the New Testament and the New Deal.
