This is what I find sad, there is no middle-ground anymore.
I agree with some of the things conservatives promote:
Smaller Government
Lower Taxes
Less Governmental Interference
Reduce Dependence on Government Handouts
I also agree with some Liberal points:
Gay Marriage, who the fuck cares?
Abortion, why is it anybody besides the principal's business?
Helping those in need get back on their feet with Education and Job assistance.
I also think that if somebody wants to ruin their life with drugs that's their choice. Good Luck and don't come to me for a handout when your life falls into the shitter.
But because I believe in a few conservative values I'm immediately labeled as a "Evil Bigoted Right Wing Misogynist Warmonger" by the left, and at that point the conversation comes to a screeching halt.
It reminds me of the way people in the 19th century were judged to be black or white.
1/16th black blood... "Congratulations, you're black!"
We are so completely polarized that it's becoming a "no quarter, winner take all" atmosphere, neither side is willing to give an inch.
The far, far left with their dreams of a socialist paradise or the far, far right with their dreams of a "christian" version of sharia law.
I find both of those options equally repugnant.
