I believe one of the worst things to happen in my lifetime was NAFTA which I blame Clinton for. Most liberals or at least labor unions did also. Clinton's wing of the Democratic Party was quite moderate on economic and trade issues: The Democratic Leadership group. I admit I lean liberal on a lot of issues and conservative on others. Kinda sounds independent to me. Goldwater came out for gay rights; Lester Maddox late in life apologized for his opposition to the MLK Civil Rights movement; Wm. F. Buckley, father of modern conservatism, favors the legalization of drugs which now called illicit; Hagel and other Republicans oppose Bush's handling of the war. No need to admit. Anyone who understands politics knows the continuum of political views on various issues To really find out what label applies to you, try this site. You answer a series of questions; then your views are charted on a graph with not the simple continuum, but with a sophisticated graph, with both horizontal and vertical (forgot what they're called.) But I guess because I don't worship at the altar of guys like Rush Limbaugh I would be considered a liberal. I love those guys. "Dittoheads" -- they proudly say they're a ditto head and then say the other side doesn't have a brain. Amazing! Dittoheads are our era's version of the herd animals in Animal Farm: no understanding, just bleating of slogans to out-shout dissenters: "Four legs good! Two Legs bad!" "Love it or Leave it." "These Colors don't Run," "USA! USA! USA!" et al. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
