Do you really care if I’m a “liberal” or “conservative”?

I hope you don’t. If you do, that makes you weak.

For the record, I’m fairly centrist. I tend to be conservative from a financial and strength of government sense. I tend to be a bit liberal on social issues, though I struggle with transgender surgery.

Most importantly, I will openly debate anyone on any issue who approaches a topic with knowledge and logic.

For those of you that lick the boots of so-called liberal/progressive leaders or make excuses for the weak faux-conservatives that support Tide Pod, you are responsible for weakening of society.

There’s more of us than you think.

We’re growing tired of your nonsense and we aren’t going to take it much longer.

One of the most foolish things a person can ever say is "I'm centrist". Centrist is a completely meaningless description since centrist is a meaningless term.

@hippyjoe1955 of course you would believe that.

I choose not to label myself. I am not affiliated with any party, though I am a full believer in the validity of the country of which I am a citizen.

You are a citizen of a country you don’t believe in.

I am confident which perspective makes more logical sense.

@JoeyFoxx You labeled yourself as centrist. Do you not remember what you wrote? Socially liberal and fiscally conservative. The kind of person who is the most dangerous type in the world. A liberal who doesn't want to spend money. A conservative doesn't want to spend money but wants strong family to support all the individuals. A liberal may want to have no family in place but wants there to be financial support for the victims of liberal policy. A neo conservative/neo liberal like you wants there to be no family to keep the person from getting in to trouble but you also don't want to to help the victims of your liberal policy. Very dangerous.

@JoeyFoxx So the founding fathers of the USA were wrong because they didn't want to be British subjects any longer? They were not happy in their political structure and sought to correct the problem. I feel the same way. Must suck to be such a slave to the orthodoxy of your state.

@hippyjoe1955 none of what you said makes sense.

I am fiscally conservative because I don’t believe that merely spending more money is going to solve problems.

I am socially liberal because I believe in science and learning.

Any label I give to myself is for the convenience of conversation with someone who hasn’t interacted with me.

Your obsession with labels, frankly, is the entire point of my post.

Thank you so much for providing an example.
