Hi. For those of you who consider yourself "conservative," how do you view "liberal" views? I use quotation marks because I think people aren't that easliy boxed, but let's roll on generalizations. What is wrong with being "liberal?" Ann Coulter in her new books says that people who opposed U.S. action in Iraq are "treasonous" (except of course if you're a conservative, then you just have a differing viewpoint- from her interview on the O'Reily Factor).
I tried to join the Republican Part (which has become out and out hard right conservative) but I just couldn't agree. For me, I see some conservative viewpoints as selfish and lacking understand and compassion for others (I won't get into specifics for threat of a thread hijack and there are other threads for them anyway).
NOTE: If you are "liberal" and want to bash "conservatives" please don't do it here. I'm trying to gain understanding, not an audition for Jerry Springer.
