Separation of conservativism from fundamentalism

I vote Democratic. Why? I don't disagree with conservative financial principles (though I skew Libertarian) but I can't support the Republican Party. I don't feel that the Republican Party has a place for me as a non-religious person who doesn't want to litigate what people do with their own lives. I want people to have individual freedom. I would be able to support conservative candidates if they would return to their roots and foist off the "neo-conservative" ideas.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought you were from the U.K.

Anyway, I vote Republican for about the same reason you pointed out. I don't want government telling me what to do and I certainly don't want judicial activists telling me what is right and wrong.

Moreover, I feel Democrats are in bed with Socialism. I cannot find anything that supports Socialism as a viable economic practice. Too much government, to me, is bad. Seems like a lot of them are telling me to embrace homosexuality, softer sentences for criminals, and higher taxes.

Nope, I am from the US! My father (and his side of the family) is all British so I do have some British words in what I type, I'm sure.

We don't see eye to eye on nearly anything else...

I'm sorry. I must've misread a post.

Btw, I don't hate liberals. I'm engaged to one (a vegetarian), and I have a lot friends who are liberals. Moreover, I work in a very liberal university (in information technology). What's funny is that people have said that I'm too nice to be a conservative. LOL. I like being the bad guy!!!

I hate to say it but I think I know a lot of the liberal way of thinking. I'm smart enough to know that liberals come in all kind of flavors like ipod and imacs. I've also studied political theory and I know the philosophical basis of all contemporary liberal thought.

I just simply disagree with liberal ideology. Logically it's flawed and I think it doesn't work in economic terms. It would be to the detriment of this great country if liberals took power, in my humble opinion.

In the U.S. there are two categories of liberals...(1) Pre-1960s liberals who loved this country as constituted and who believed in killing (without mercy) any and all enemies that threatened this nation and (2) 1960s thru current time liberals who hate how this country is constituted, have tried to bastardize our constitution for their amoral agenda and who have openly supported (directly & indirectly) every enemy we've faught since Viet Nam.

Today's liberals are hell-bent on seeing this country fail economically & militarily so that in such a weakened state we would succumb to the liberals' ultiimate dream of one-world-gov't and world socialism.

Today's liberals are this nation's worst enemy and any conservative who does not undertand this is either sorely uninformed or living in a dreamworld.
Remember WHY our founders went to war...large uncontrolled gov't in the form of King George III and high taxes taken to support that large gov't.
