    Lol, good one

    I look forward to Tank's response
    That is easy. Liberals are winners.

    Just ask George Clooney, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Al Gore (Gore was robbed in the 00 election) and Angelina Jolie (won Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston).

    Moss, Huff and Reed all smoke weed, so they are liberals. Walker is a liberal for shedding away from the statue quo.

    I didn't say they weren't liberal people, I said they voted conservative. There is a huge difference.

    You don't seem the understand the concept of balance and a well-rounded person, you're always one extreme or the other tank

    You're not though. You work for the man. You're a business major going to school at one of those great schools in the nations capital. If thats not selling out then I don't know what is. An extreme liberal would be preaching for equal division of wealth and more tax dollars for inner city programs.

    Just because you smoke weed and pretend to care about other people does not make you an extreme liberal. I know many conservative pot heads.

    Hehe...

    You CAN be social liberal (to a degree) AND fiscally conservative - i.e., a Libertarian.

    You know nothing about me. I am an economics major not business adminstration, and I seek to build an utopia. Isnt Utopia about "preaching for equal division of wealth and more tax dollars for inner city programs?"

    The economy is the most important aspact of every capitalist society and if we can get the most out of it, such socitety will be better off.

    but capitalism in general follows the views of our conservative forefathers, not of those of marx, ginsberg, weber etc.

    personalize, you sound a lot like myself in what you post politically. I think you've got libertarian tattoed all over you.

    There isnt much difference between being a libertarian and a liberal. Both are related. The main difference between both is that liberalism take into consideration the masses (such as society as a whole), whereas libertarianism only the individuals.

    Yes because libertarians favor the individual over the masses. As a seeker of a utopia, I favor the masses over the individual. That is why I am a liberal. I didnt support Amensty Internation or Make Trade Fair because Im a republican.

    From Wikipedia:

    Social liberalism: Arose in the late 19th century in many developed countries, influenced by the utilitarianism of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. Some liberals accepted, in part or in whole, Marxist and socialist exploitation theory and critiques of "the profit motive", and concluded that government should use its power to remedy these perceived problems. According to the tenets of this form of liberalism, as explained by writers such as John Dewey and Mortimer Adler, since individuals are the basis of society, all individuals should have access to basic necessities of fulfillment, such as education, economic opportunity, and protection from harmful macro-events beyond their control. To social liberals, these benefits are considered rights. These positive rights, which must be produced and supplied by other people, are qualitatively different from the classic negative rights, which require only that others refrain from aggression. To the social liberal, ensuring positive rights is a goal that is continuous with the general project of protecting liberties. Schools, libraries, museums, and art galleries are to be supported by taxes. Social liberalism advocates some restrictions on economic competition, such as anti-trust laws and price controls on wages ("minimum wage laws.") It also expects governments to provide a basic level of welfare, supported by taxation, intended to enable the best use of the talents of the population, to prevent revolution, or simply "for the public good."

    If such party falls into the line of Marxism, perhaps (see the meaning of social liberal above). However, if it falls into that of Stalinism, nope. I am not a Communist (with the capital C).
