re: #358 Obdicut

I disagree. But then, I’ve been told I’m a conservative.

I think that we should have single payer health insurance, do away with capital gains tax and replace it with straight income tax, allow gay marriage with full rights, increase the separation between church and state into a rock-solid wall, and spend money like it’s going out of style on alternative energy research.

But I completely disagree that to be conservative is to be selfish. At its root, honest conservatives make the charge that you did earlier: That liberals are trying to fix the symptom, and not the problem. I think they’re wrong, ‘conservatives’, on most economic issues. But implying, as you do, a psychological connection to selfishness for all conservatives is just silly.

well said
