Here is what I believe:
I find Marxism compelling to the point that I believe class differences are a driving factor of many of the issues that we face as a nation and a world.
I find liberalism compelling to the point that I believe in personal freedoms and liberties.
I find Liberalism compelling to the point that I think the government should provide basic human needs to the people through social programs such as Health Care (Medicare, Medicaid and the new health care act), education, transportation, shelter for the poor, food, etc.
I find modern Conservatism compelling to the point that I think private industry should be allowed to compete so long as it does not harm the people, unions should be illegal and gun controls should be lose.
Other things that I find interesting:
Conservatives who are both pro-life and pro-death penalty. At least the Catholics are consistent...no abortion and no death penalty...makes more sense at least.
I find it obnoxious when people demonize education because they either had a bad experience or have never experienced it at all.
Conservatives who get mad when informed that they are in fact classical liberals.
Liberals who won't admit that they favor large government involvement in social welfare.
People who don't realize that the United States is a welfare state: 50% of our budget is welfare to the elderly.
People who don't realize that both Liberals and Conservatives, Democrats and Republicans all love this country.
It is upsetting to see that the United States has become a laughing stock for the world. Our bureaucracies are out of touch with reality. We would be better served if they would admit what they want so that the people at least could understand what it is they are talking about.
