I used to be pretty conservative, but now I lean liberal, with a touch of liberatarianism.. is that so wrong? Have I lost touch or realized?

As a conservative, I saw how the world really was.

As a liberal I see the world how I want it to be..

    you are probably still a conservative ... the only difference is that you don't want to associate yourself with those that are carrying that mantra right now ...

    it's normal, you're probably a decent open minded individual and you being presented with various arguments are changing your opinions based on input and your environment.

    I imagine you are mostly fiscally conservative and pretty socially liberal, nothing is wrong with how you feel.

    Nothing wrong with having some ideals either.

    Like Pac said, I've always been pretty fiscally conservative. It has nothing to do with association. I've always been pro-choice. I've never been very religious. I dress pretty conservatively.

    changed big time since I first read your posts.....for the better by the way.

    we're all conservatives and liberals....just depends on the subject matter.

    Regardless of which way we change we all think we are changing for the better.

    I don't think the world we want to have is really any different for conservatives or liberals. The only real difference is what's proposed for getting from here to there. One side may at times over emphasize personal responsibility while the other at times may over emphasize victimhood. Any pograms are based on where you believe people are on the personal responsibility/victimhood spectrum.

    Did you get high for the first time or something?

    Another reason I think it's illegal. Everyone that likes to get high seems to be on the left for some reason. hehe
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
