Shifting gears once again, I just wanted to be clear on one thing.

As I've stated I fall to the conservative side of most issues, I truly try not just go with whatever the *right* thinks on everything however. I'm not going to get into listing what all that would be... where I'm going is my views of the *left* and *liberalism*.

I am definitely *liberal* on some issues, its just that most polititans on the far left (i.e. Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, etc) scare me because they are actually Socialists in disguise. I FIRMLY believe in personal responsibility and that is most certainly not a trait of Socialism. I much prefer Capitalism because I don't want a hand out and I certainly don't want to be empowering the government to do it in my name. There is a time, place and ppl that do need assistance but we need a better system in place to address those issues than blindly starting up new gov program after program.

I am extremely passionate on this point, and that is why I truly believe electing someone like John Kerry would be disastrous.
