oohhh -- I guess you might consider me a conservative. Gee, I feel like I'm looking at the world in a realistic manner -- I don't believe everything I read - from either side. I research things myself and then form an opinion based on as much fact as possible.

I may not agree with you -- I don't believe in wealth redistribution. My husband has been laid off many times and managed to work his ass off to find a better job each times. We are now comfortable but no one is secure financially. I believe gov't should assist but not control. I believe in personal responsibility. You can't expect to have a house and make lots of money if you don't finish high school. I believe big gov't is bad and if our healthcare becomes like the UK or Canada - we will all be moaning about the waits for an MRI and rationing of medicine because it's more "cost effective".

Either way - no matter what we believe -- I just don't like blanket statements. Not all liberals hate the "wealthy" -- heck most of the celebrities that talk the talk are in the top 5%. They don't all turn a blind eye to the notable scientists who state that global warming is a cyclical thing not totally man's fault (notice I said NOT totally) Not all conservatives are blind to the realistic facts of life. Nor are all conservatives book burning puritans.

Just had to put the other side in here.
