I would like to think that I could be socially liberal, but because that has such a destructive effect on society, I can't manage it.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I'm in exile as a stolid social democrat since my local center-right party should be nuked from orbit just to make sure.  :mad:

Yeah, those guys managed to turn me into a social democrat as well. Then I spent the summer of 1989 in china and my whole view on life changed.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I am a Jacobin when it suits me.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

My political bent is broken.

Big government, big labor, big defense, save the environment, kill Islamists, Chinese and fetuses.

Fiscally conservative but socially it varies from issue to issue. I am liberal on somethings (gay marriage and abortions for example) while conservative on others (crime).

Socially liberal. Fiscally pragmatic.  :)

Socially liberal, fiscally socialdemocrat. But I go full blown socialist under a Full Moon.

I am pro-violent revolution when the rights of the people are denied them by kings and tyrants.
