[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;25948465]why are you registered republican then[/QUOTE] Same reason Ron Paul is.. To induce Libertarian principles and bring the GOP back to the aspects that made it great. [editline]9th November 2010[/editline] I think you all are having a hard time understanding the meaning of the word liberal.

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25948536]I think you switch back and forth between the contemporary and classical definitions as it suits you[/QUOTE] As I understand it a conservative means to retain. The conservatives today are the people in favor of bigger government, the people who call themselves liberals today or those who support socialist agenda are the real conservatives.

But what is this "socialist agenda" you're talking about? It sounds so nefarious. And how exactly do the liberals want to destroy america with it? I don't get how healthcare and lower crime rates hurt people. Sure, you'll spend a few hundred more a year in taxes but I don't see how that's an unacceptable cost for a better society that benefits everyone. It pays for itself.

I just disagree with it that's all. I do not judge governmental actions by their well guided intentions but by results.

I wish the Republicans shifted far back enough to the left to the days of Eisenhower.
