I don’t consider myself a liberal in any sense of the word,...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are a social liberal. I’m a social conservative. A Socon if you will.

(Just some basic fundamental terms. But I’m sure you know this.)

I wish these guys would try to be as pro gay marriage on here as they are drugs. It’s very similar. The ideology and ‘do what feels good’ mentality is the same.

“You are a social liberal. I’m a social conservative.”

Let’s see if there’s anything people morally shouldn’t do which you consider none of the federal government’s business. Should cops arrest us for possession of fatty foods to prevent us from getting obese, which is evidence of the sin of sloth? No? What are you, a social liberal?

Not to say the line can’t be moved back and forth. I come close, but probably don’t reach the Millian ideal of Mt fist stopping at your nose. But in the same way you can call yourself a social conservative even though you give people the freedom to die of heart disease, others can be social conservatives while affording people the freedom to die of overdoses.
