The fact is that liberal and conservative don’t fit nicely into boxes. All I can say is that I know I identify far more with liberals than conservatives so in this polarized society I am a liberal.

I am:
Pro gay rights- (anyone who beleives being gay is a choice is a moron and I refuse to even engage in discussion with them)
The rights of gay people to marry adopt live where they want and not be discriminated or harassed based on who they are.

I am pro-choice- (which apparently conservatives think is pro abortion and that is absolutely not true. I am actually anti coat-hanger)

Anti Death Penalty- (Plenty of innocent people have been executed and since dna research god only knows how many more t hey are going to find out about PLUS I think a life in prison is a far better punnishment than just going nighty-night)

Pro stem cell research.

I am all for going to war with a country that actually attacked us. But I am NOT in favor of attacking a country based on the whim of a dry drunk deserter. No, Bill Clinton didn’t go to Viet Nam but they DID know he was in college and he wasn’t AWOL like GW Bush was.

I am spiritual but not religious. (believe fiercely in separation of church and state but I fiercely support the right of anyone to beleive in anything they want as long as they don’t harm anyone else)

That is how I define myself as a liberal. And I do love my country deeply and my heart breaks for every soldier who dies every day even though its not even important enough to the media to be mentioned on the news any more. These brave men and women are being sent into a meet grinder because Little Georgie wanted to play war!

But you really need to look at who you are attacking here because there seem to be more Republicans in favor or amnesty for illegals.

This is from May 23rd 2007 website reporting on a poll taken that week http://www.parapundit.com/archives/004271.html

“A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey conducted Monday and Tuesday night shows that just 26% of American voters favor passage of the legislation. Forty-eight percent (48%) are opposed while 26% are not sure. The bi-partisan agreement among influential Senators and the White House has been met with bi-partisan opposition among the public. The measure is opposed by 47% of Republicans, 51% of Democrats, and 46% of those not affiliated with either major party. ”

In fact the recent “amnesty” bill George W’s baby.

And before you start on Hillary Clinton. Here is what she said:
“…a path to earned citizenship for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes, respecting the law, and willing to meet a high bar for becoming a citizen,”

I do not agree with what Hillary beleives in any more than when Bush said it.

Both sides are pretty pathetic on this one.
