Depends what you call "liberal" and "conservative". I oppose affirmative action (though I arguably oppose it from the left), I oppose legalizing prostitution and I'm undecided regarding soft drugs. I'm also generally supportive of free trade (though with major caveats regarding developing countries), and support foreign intervention in order to stop violations of human rights.

Why?

A certain conception of human dignity, and the (left-winged) idead that not everything should be for sale.

Just to be clear, I don't think prostitutes themselves should be penalized in any way. Clients and especially pimps should, though.

It is generally noticed that welfare systems which target the neediest are usually less generous, less popular and less effective in terms of inequality reduction, than those based on universal benefits (the so-called "paradox of redistribution").

I favor amnesty
I support abortion
I support limited gun control
I support gay marriage
I oppose auditing the fed
I oppose government drug tests for welfare
I support a progressive income tax
I support increased government spending during recessions
I support some regulations on the finance industry
I support the green movement

I think that does it.

I think you're the first person I've seen here with negative social/economic scores and a Republican avatar.

I challenge anyone to explain me AHDuke's politics. Tongue

I oppose amnesty.
I oppose abortion.
I oppose gun control.
I support marriage privatization.
I support more privatization in general.
I oppose the federal reserve. (Pro audit too obviously.)
I support government drug tests for welfare recipients. Like bankers.
I oppose income tax and the IRS. I strongly support the FAIR tax.
I oppose increased government spending during recessions.
I support deregulation and cutting/abolishing government departments.
I oppose green hysteria and boondoggles like "cap and trade" & "carbon taxes."
I wish the "99%" (what an idiotic phrase) would shut up.

I think that does it.

Wait, you consider yourself a liberal ? Tongue

I'm a Democrat. The fox news/dittohead crowd would undoubtedly consider me liberal. Also, note what was omitted there. I didn't once mention bombing Iran, how disgusting fags homosexuals are, jesus, or making sick people choose between food and medicine. That makes me a socialist.

Now. If anyone who is considered a liberal by the Crazy Right was an actual liberal, you'd live in the United Socialist Soviet States of America.
