    Default Re: Conservatvce or Liberal

    I find my political philosphy to go from one extreme to the other.

    In general, I believe the well-educated individual will always make better choices about their behavior and their finances than any well-intentioned government ever could. I believe in non-interventionist foreign policies because I respect the sovereignty of places even like North Korea and Iran, and consider the overthrow of Kim Jong-Il (or Saddam Hussein) a matter for North Koreans (or Iraqis), not well intentioned Americans.

    That being said, experience and knowledge of the world has proven to me that the ideal I list above, orginally articulated by my hero Alexander Hamilton, is probably unattainable.

    All I have to do is read a story about the widespread abuses women, children and the elderly suffer in our society, and I could easily become a Leninist, minus the ban on religion. Are there any collectivist-authoritarian-Christian ideologies out there? If somebody says "Lords' Resistance Army" they're going to get a fat lip.... That's not at all what I mean.
