I am libertarian when it comes to civil liberties.

I am conservative when it comes to fiscal policy. (no deficits please)

I am conservative when it comes to gun policy (mostly because I don't think gun control in this country can realistically work)

I am liberal when it comes to social programs.

I am liberal when it comes to union support.

I am liberal when it comes to environmental policy.

I am liberal when it comes to woman's right to choose.

I am liberal when it comes to healthcare policy.

I am liberal when it comes to the elimination of corporate welfare.

On edit, I love my country.

10. Rejecting Deficit Financing Is Not Conservative
That's not a conservative position. The reason is because it matter how one arrives at balance.

A conservative would cut back gov't scope and cost at lower taxes to achieve balance. A liberal would accept higher taxes to assure cash flow to pay for the programs.

The rejection of deficits is a neutral issue. Neither conservative nor liberal. The path in getting there is what makes the difference.

7. I've tried that
MSNBC has not.

Does Chris Matthews jump in the shower after every show and say,
"I feel so dirty."

8. I'm a liberal on everything
I'm a social, economic and foreign policy liberal.

I don't like guns. I like my constitutional rights (I'm libertarian in that regard). I'm pro choice.

I have a problem with people saying their a fiscal conservative and social liberal. How can you fund all your liberal social programs if you aren't liberal with your spending?

9. It all depends on how you define a fiscal conservative
I do not believe in being tight-fisted in giving people a hand-up or providing a vital service through government organization when needed.

I just do NOT believe that deficits are good for the economy.

11. they're not
especially if they're caused by huge tax breaks for the rich. But if they're caused by doing the vital social good - then I can tolerate them.
