118 - Liberal or conservative?

Here's an article that has a good description of the difference between liberals and conservatives.

From the article -
"People gravitate toward conservatism because it's more certain about the answers it provides—right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, us vs. them."

Just how issue specific isyou? Specificlly that is.

I hold opinions that, depending upon the issue, could be perceived as leaning toward the left or the right.

For example:

I live in a very liberal, gun control state, but I would make marksmanship training and gun safety mandatory in the public school system. In that respect, I am the NRA's poster boy. I am also a supporter of abortion on demand, usually tagged as a liberal opinion.

Name an issue and I will give you my specific opinion. That's what makes me issue specific.

So overall your a middle of the road person with right wing or left wing opinions depending on the issue. Ann Coulter hates people like you. She wants you to pick a side (lib/cons) and defend it to the death.

I'm like that also to a point. I used to vote a split ticket. But ever since Reagan, who said he was going to balance the budget, I've had trouble voting for a conservative on anything. Maybe that will change some day. But with Bush reconfirming my idea of what a bunch of idiots conservatives are that's not going to happen any time soon.
