You know, I would like to add a new dimension to this whole "left-right" issue. Political ideology isn't on a line, it's on a plane. You can be a progressive or conservative, and also a social authoritarian or libertarian.
Conservatives somehow automatically lay claim to the libertarian viewpoint, which is certainly false. We have lost more personal freedoms in the last 8 years than ever before in my lifetime. All because someone votes for tax cuts doesn't automatically make him or her someone who wants you to be "free."
So please get off this limited viewpoint, it is incomplete and bad salesmanship.

I encourage everyone to visit this site, figure out where you stand on the grid. It's quite fascinating.
