It's my impression that there are far more conservatives and libertarians in this forum than there were in the early years - I'm just curious about how many more.
People on each extreme just whine more when the other side is in command of the white house. If the GOP wins in 2016 by some miracle, every interest political section will be angry liberals.
I am socially liberal and mostly central on economic issues. There are some cases in which I am staunchly fiscal conservative, and some issues where I feel the government needs to spend / focus their resources on.
Despite being mostly liberal, I am more authoritarian than libertarian or liberal on foreign policy. Liberal foreign policy is utter failure, and isolationism is primitive.
You'd have a hard time finding a true collectivist in US. I personally haven't met one yet.
Not true at all. The more liberal, the more collectivist. Anyone who believes the government is the solution for anything is a collectivist to some degree. People who believe it is the answer for lots of things are far enough to collectivism's left edge that I have nothing in common with them.

I believe that I, and every other individual, have the natural right of self-defense as a condition of existence, and can therefore delegate the defense of that right to an outside agent, but I do not believe that the government is the only agent capable of performing that delegated task. I also vehemently oppose the idea that ONLY the government should be allowed to defend the nation, the state, the neighborhood or the home.
The individual acting freely in their own defense will likely be better at that defense than a hired mercenary, and far less likely to engage in mischief on foreign soil under the guise/lie of "national defense."

YOU are a shining example of hatred toward conservatism, while arguing the DNC doesn't hate conservatism.
You should have left people wondering if that statement was sarcasm, because you've lost all credibility.
