What a great read! Referencing the post about 'bbs changing your opinions' I opened this to find out about my choices. It's almost time to go on the dole (social security), so I should become more liberal. Here's my take on the conservative v liberal. I hope you well written folks will help me here.
Spent my whole life as a conservative, at least by my definition:
Conservatives work and defend the country. We pay higher taxes and support the economy. My tax bill (federal, state, self employment, FICA, SSI for myself and my employees) during the course of my working years has exceeded seven figures.
While Liberals have benefitted from the toil of people like me, some complained they were not getting a big enough piece of the pie. So far, so good.
But listening to some of you, it has changed to also mean that Conservatives are Christian, God fearing people of high morals who love the death penalty and are against a woman's right to chose. Liberals are not just whiners, but have become pro gay, pro abortion, flag burning humiliators of the Constitution and all this country holds holy.
I call BS and hope this whole thread was a joke. God (the big guy) help us if it's not.
I am pro choice, anti war, anti death penalty, fiscally conservative, non Christian, and have no problem with gays validating their relationships. Since I will soon be receiving public assistance, am I liberal or conservative?
PS. Trashing politics is one thing, but cars? Snow with a racing 912? Mul with a freakin' ricer? We know Z will build anything to piss off Porsche purists. We had a nice canyon drive sunday with 914's, 911's, a Viper, and Mul's rice ball. We exchanged waves with Hondas, Ducati's, a Modena and a CHP.
And the 914 wasn't my first choice...
