I know I'm going to regret this. I hate online discussions of politics or religion.
Anyhow, here goes.
Anyone who supports 100% of their party's supposed base beliefs simply for the fact that they are affiliated with that party is a fool (IN MY OPINION). It is quite common for conservatives to have a few liberal ideals and vice versa. In my view the liberal or conservative tags should be based off of percentages not all or nothings. For me I have roughly a 90/10 split in liberal versus conservative values. Does this make me a liberal? Yes, I think it does. Does this mean that I support every single liberal value? No it doesn't. This thinking is partially responsible for our extremely polarized nation.
In the end what really irritates me are random poorly thought out attacks on liberalism.
