I am told that the Triangle is a very liberal area. I would classify myself as a moderate conservative, not a Republican. I don't want to get into a bash session over who is worse, a Republican or a Democrat, but it would be interesting the hear from everyone on what it is they like about liberalism or conservatism. I lean more towards being a conservative because of the following reasons:

I believe the free market does a much better job of keeping things in balance than government involvement does.

I believe people should be encouraged to improve their lives by working hard for it, not being limited by relying on government funding.

I believe the lower taxes are, the better the economy runs.

I believe in equal rights for all (exactly the same) and not more for one than the other.

I believe the people should be able to decide what is right for themselves and not have government programs dictate it.

I think this can be a fun thread, as long as we do not get angry with each others opinion. Let's see if we can enlighten each other to the GOOD of each side. Let's see what makes the Triangle tick.

With all due respect, Southpoint, I don't think this discussion belongs in this area of the website. There is a section on the city-data forums called "Politics and other controversies" that would be a better home for this sort of thread.

Ditto Mrs. Steel. This belongs over on the political forum.

Before this gets deleted...I'd just like to point out that you're a fiscal conservative/social liberal. You sir (or ma'am) are by definition a Libertarian.

Welcome to the club!

I always wondered what that was. Now I know. Thanks for the welcome.

Okay, this need to be deleted or moved. Please help. I don't know how.
