^You sound very much like a liberal. If you think you represent ANYTHING remotely right wing I’m sorry for your delusion.

I recently had a talk with a great kid that's in his 4th year of college. We generally have some great conversations fairly regularly.

I think the understanding or perception of what is "Conservative" and what is "Liberal", is where the real divide is. Communists in our education institutions have deliberately associated Conservatives with Facists. this is widely accepted as truth among younger generations. But facism is just another far left ideology. But radical leftists (marxists, Socialists) needed a boogey man to project horrible things and actions for people to hate. And since very few in our history have been labeled or associated with Facism, it's now their goto attack. Not any less vile as calling someone a racist, Bigot, Homophobe, Islamaphobe, etc... It's just what they do to End the Debate!

You see, on a linear scale of 1 to 100... 1 equating to anarchy (zero Government control) ... and 100 equating to 100% control by the Government (Communism)... Socialism would be right there with Facism near the 70-80% range.

Our founding framers initially created our Constitutional Republic with about 20% control of Government... then we had some problems with Commerce and they decided we needed some sort of control so states that were in farm rich environments wouldn't screw other states with insanely high prices... But that's where the Governments control should have stayed.

The definition of a Liberal is not what it was 60 years ago. They used to call themselves "Progressives" in the Woodrow Wilson era. After that they called them selves "Liberals" cause "Progressives" were implementing marxist policies at an alarming rate. Then they went underground.. then some adopted the term liberal to mean liberal in their donating of time and their Own money to help those in need.... Of course, it didn't take long before radical leftists (Marxists, Communists and Socialists... and yes, facists) hijacked that term once again.

So, if you're asking me what my definition of a "Liberal" is today... it would not be radical Leftists... Communists, Socialists, Marxists and Facists, any where in the 70-100%, but in the 50-70% range... all radical leftist ideologies are no where near Our Founding Framers idea of our Constitutional Republic (20-30% range of government control), which is what every conservative I know believes.

If you are confused about what I believe, it's only because of what you've been taught. you sure couldn't get that from what I just wrote!

Basically, you’re a moral relativist. I get that. My morals are based on the Bible and traditional American culture. It doesn’t shift. My values and attitude toward life is the same as it’s always been, it doesn’t move with the times. It’s easy to shift your morals around to fit the times. Makes you easily acceptable. Makes you popular with each generation of new kid. You’re not a conservative though. You sound like a libertarian.
