That might be funny... were I a conservatard.

I'm more "liberal" in many areas than even you, Mo.

Don't you get tired of using those old and busted paradigms? Get PROGRESSIVE, man. Accept change.

I miss the days when sports complexes had real names like the Sky Dome and the Astrodome.

"U.S. Cellular Field" just sounds trashy.

Abad, based on the Outpost Political leaning grid, I believe the only person close to me on the left was Poetkiosk. Tell me about your progressive philosophy. You make lots of right sounding noises.

AA hasn't broken out this lame semantic game in awhile.

Nothing semantic about it. Left-right in the context of modern complexities and US politics is "broken". The system for categorizing that way is meaningless. We've discussed it here ad nauseum.

When you say "left" / "right", or "liberal" / "conservative", that gives a rational person no idea whatsoever where you sit on many important issues. "Democrat" vs "Republican"... similar problem.

A system mapping...

fiscal liberal<->conservative
social liberal<->conservative
statism<->individualism<->anarchy

...gets you a bit closer. But in another decade or two, I don't think that will cut it either.

I think I shall compile an entire post with some of my more progressive positions, and see who (really) falls to the "left" or "more progressive" end of the continuum than I do.

And I'm not talking Democrat or Republican sales pitches. I mean PROGRESS and PROGRESSIVE, civil rights affirming, change-oriented, forward thinking.
