What does that mean? Fiscally I'm conservative and in the religious sector I'm a liberal. I don't go to church much, but I believe in God and Christ. I was an agnostic for 25 years, but the later experiences of my life brought me back into the fold. I think it has to do with age. But I'm still pretty liberal in these areas.
Fiscally and financially I'm a conservative. I believe in smaller government. Let me keep my money. I have some money saved and it's a tidy little bit, but because of actions of Obama and a lesser extent Bush before him, my money may be worthless in a few years.
I wasn't born until 42, but I'm familier with Germany in the early 20's. Inflation got so bad that it took a wheel barrel of money to buy a cup of coffee. What you made in the morning was worth less in the evening.
(1924) On October 15 the Rentenbank Decree was published, and on November 15 the mark was officially stabilized at the rate of 1,000,000,000,000 paper marks for 1 gold mark.
I just hope some sanity comes back to our government. Printing all of this paper money to cover our borrowing will develop into inflation in a year or so, maybe sooner. We are the most heavily indebted country in the world. Probably of all time.
I think too many people say they are socially "liberal" but usually mean socially "libertarian." If you were socially liberal, you would support massive social and welfare spending and lots of government programs. This is the exact opposite of what someone who was fiscally conservative would support. If you support the idea of two homosexuals marrying, are pro-choice, or want to legalize certain drugs, you are socially libertarian not socially liberal.
I'm a fiscal leftist (I say that because my fiscal views are farther left and outside of American politics and it annoys me when people try to describe their views "within American politics" and it leads to misconceptions about what they actually support) and a social libertarian.
I'm for whatever makes the most sense at the moment(within reason). Typecasting yourself only creates boundaries. I do align more with liberal beliefs but I believe in being very tough on violent criminals while I believe in treatment (not criminalization) when it comes to say drug users/abusers(not dealers). I don't believe in the death penalty only because I see it as the easy way out, we all got to go someday. I'm pro-choice and pro-gay marriage but pro-gun control(not ban). Fiscally, I'm for whatever works. I'm no expert on global economics and neither are 99.9% of us but it seems that about 85% of CD people are all of sudden. Nobody knows how anything is going to play out but the keyboard experts do..LOL. I consider myself spiritul and I believe in a higher power(most of the time) but I don't believe in picking sides(a religion). Who's to say which one is better? They all have merit but they're all basically fairytales interpreted by man. That's pretty much why I don't believe in self imposed boundaries. I tend to be all over the spectrum which I enjoy.
Well I'm Agnostic and moderately conservative both fiscally and socially
I have somewhat Libertarian views with respect to federal government (the feds should protect basic civil rights and handle national defense and immigration and leave virtually everything else to the states)
