You didn't answer the OP's question. You just read off a laundry list of "wants" and "beliefs".I'm a self-described "liberal".
I'm pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-DADT repeal.
I'm in favor of a simple, progressive tax system.
I'm in favor of expanding medicare, and social security.
I'm against all nanny-state, "healthy" laws. I smoke cigarettes, I drink.
I'm anti-prohibition. That applies to all drugs, prostitution, etc.
I'm against special interests controlling congress. I disagree with the Citizens United decision.
On Global Warming, I agree with EVERY SINGLE MAJOR SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION, and believe that climate change exists, and we're making it worse.
On most issues, I'll come down on the same side as the ACLU.
On some issues, I'll come down on the same side as the NRA.
On the Political Compass test, I'm in the mid left, far bottom.
In stead of hijacking this thread with your usual left wing talking points from HuffPo, why don't you start a new thread? "Conservative Principles, not "rightwinger principles" either.So what are right winger "underlying principles"?
Stop abortion
stop gays
schools need religion
stop education
apologize to oil companies
phase out school lunches
end taxes for corporations and millionaires
end the EPA
move retirement to 75
cut SS, Medicare and Medicaid
Every man for himself

Again, "What are the underlying principles of modern Liberalism?".
I know it's Communism but you libs will never admit it.
Well, if you're the civilized one, why are you unable to read and respond to points that are made? I'm not referring to my posts but all the discussions you're in. Your posts are generally sarcastic comments like this that have nothing to do with the post you responded to. If your views were right, you would want to hold people to their statements and views. Rather you participate in every discussion while not advancing any because you don't grasp the discussion. I'm not saying this as an "insult." It's what you do. I seldom if ever see you actually address a post you're quoting.
I don't insult anyone personally unless they insult me. And if disagreement with views are an insult..yeah..I do that alot.
I didn't say anything about you insulting people...thank you for demonstrating my point....

Republicans, being 90% white and mostly Christian
This is pretty close...for you. I'm not referring to "strict" reading of people's text, I'm saying your points are non sequitors with the posts you are responding to. I also said you frequently make sarcastic comments that don't address their point.I don't insult anyone personally unless they insult me. And if disagreement with views are an insult..yeah..I do that alot.

Whatever.
I am not a "textualist" and read further into posts. If I get it wrong..I say so.

Why don't you. Here's your list of right wing "values". Notice you couldn't disagree with any.

Yes, as long as they don't read our e-mail, we are free...Modern Liberalism = Progressive State Control and Collectivism, where the State is the Core of All Of Our Lives, and the Last Word on any Decision.
No problem bro! And have you noticed that it's only the Conservatives who seem to know what the "Liberal Underlying Principles" really are?Mad Scientist, the quotes of who said what are screwed up. It's my fault, I was cutting out some of the nesting and made a mistake. As soon as I posted it I realized that and fixed it but you had already quoted me.
Modern Liberalism = Progressive State Control and Collectivism, where the State is the Core of All Of Our Lives, and the Last Word on any Decision.
Modern Conservatism=Sexual and Economic Hysteria in the wake of Feminism and Civil Rights for Colored Folks that requires intervention by the State and the Altering of Our Very Constitution to Restrict Rights instead of Expanding Rights.
While communists have done those things, the definition of Communism would actually be adherence to the principles of the Communist Manifesto. Read the planks of the Manifesto and that it is actually not only what the Democratic party stands for but for the same reasons and you will be very, very afraid. Far more then if they were burning churches.Modern Liberalism = Progressive State Control and Collectivism, where the State is the Core of All Of Our Lives, and the Last Word on any Decision.
Bullshit.

Everyone can play the bullshit game. Why is it so hard for this board to discuss the post instead of the poster?
You really think liberals are communists? Have they burned down any of your churches lately or whisked you off in the middle of the night for interrogation and the gulag? Seriously? Do you have Totalitarian state confused with Democratic state for some reason?
Sheesh.
I said the planks of the Communist manifesto and what the Democratic party stands for. You introduced the Democratic party planks. I never said they were honest enough to write it down.Read the planks of the Democratic party. Why would you ascribe some hidden nefarious plot of world domination to Democratic party? Do you see a call for the abolition of private property?
Hell, even old Karl was conservative in his views of the lumpenproletariat. He would have hated welfare and gays, too.
