Tom, with all due respect for your staunch support of America, IMO, you have a tendency to extrapolate conclusions too quickly, from far too few data points.

Poet took the position that US military action against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan were necessary. I agreed with her. If that makes me a liberal, I plead guilty. Do you say you have no liberal stances. Define precisely "liberal" and "conservative" and we can get into that. Do you believe in freedom of speech? Yes, with necessary limitations. Free speech does not cover malicious acts that are likely to harm others. Do you believe all men are created equal? Absolutely not, but that is the wrong question. Men are created equal and we all know it. We all different strengths and weaknesses in different areas and they make us unequal. Some having glaring weaknesses, such as mental retardation or psychosis, that cover large areas. The cover question is "Should men be treated equally by the law?" I would answer that yes.
