I am pro gay marriage
I am pro cannabis legalization
I am against war unless absolutely necessary
I am pro government handouts but there needs to be more accountability to cut out abuse of the system
I am against the Patriot Act
I am pro Second Amendment
I am pro separation of church and state
I am pro religion, whatever that religion may be, and people should be free to practice it and teach the doctrine they choose, even if some may consider it hate; And they should remain tax exempt. Churches, mosques, and temples of all kinds are symbols of the diversity in our communities
I am against Obamacare
I am against abortion on demand but think there should be exceptions
I support a path to citizenship but am against completely open borders
I don't think Obama has been an outstanding President (I'm sorry I don't) but don't think Bush was great either; I liked Clinton

With most liberals, it seems that you must tow the party line 100% of the time or you are just as evil as those Neanderthalic conservatives that hate gays, women, and minorities and want to turn America into Iran. The polarization in this country is getting so intense its scary.

Same reason moderates with some liberal ideas are called *******s or leftist, it's a need to label people.

Anyone who doesn't agree with the liberal left view is labeled as a right wing nut job.

I wouldn't even call some of them liberal. Liberal means pro-freedom, be it on gays, guns, drugs, religion, abortion, whatever. The people that want to ban guns and force everyone to abandon rural/suburban living for cities to combat global warming are leftists, not liberal.

This is true. I've been called a RWNJ on here many times, ironically I'm not right wing, I'm libertarian which gets the liberals even more upset which I don't understand why.

Oh, how I hate labels. In fact my analogy has always been you take a 12 inch rule with 1 being far left, and 12 being far right, most Americans fall somewhere between 5 and a half and 6 and a half.

I don't think you picked the right party to stereotype. It is wingnuts who are in lockstep. Liberals, in fact, are rarely in lockstep, yet wingnuts are always in lockstep.

As far as I'm concerned, you sound entirely rational. I don't know any liberals who think anyone should agree 100 percent on any topic.

You must not read much in the politics sections.

It's just mostly because you're on CD where everything is seen as one extreme or the other. Conservatives are no different - if I say one tiny thing that is pro-Democratic = I'm a *******!

In real life - it doesn't seem quite so well defined.
