[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 205928, member: 4823"] I try to avoid labels, especially since the neocons have twisted the meaning of "Liberal" - as if it is the opposite of conservative - to give some deniability to their own radicalism. If pushed, I sometimes claim to be a "Liberaltarian", and let the listener figure it out. Every one of us has a mix of progressive and conservative views, and the labels tend to polarize us. Left, right, liberal, progressive, Democrat, Republican, Whig, KnowNothing, YIPpie, conservative and libertarian are not points on a line. I love to hear well-supported viewpoints (as opposed to opinions that are only repeated, maybe strengthened with some added volume at times), whether I agree with them or not. I know that I can't always be right. (I could be wrong about [U]that[/U]....) There are only so many hours in each day! I do not want to take away from the time I can spend taunting the obstreperous intransigent ones. I have been able to manage my blood pressure without medication, so far. I do not care for the nattering nabobs of negativism who flood the airwaves with poisonous invective. (I'll wait for someone to post the funny parts on youtube.) You already covered talk radio. What, are you writing a book?:laugh: I had to put your under-the-skin remark next to the inquiry about poking-with-stick. Believe me, it was more than a stick (and diesel made it quite convenient). Not only did Lind get so much right, he makes a better case than I could. [/QUOTE]
