Seriously, I know it is not the "fault" of the liberals that people don't take responsiblity for themselves. I just don't like to see that attitude glorified by anyone, conservatives included.

I do decide on the issues one at a time, but I try to be as logical and consistent as possible.

Example: I believe that all life is precious - My personal belief system cannot make sense of the fact that GENERALLY conservative want to outlaw abortion, but kill all murderers and liberals want to have abortion available on demand, but save the lives of the serial killers. I just can't resolve that.
That is kind of goofy...the reasoning that I have heard from the the pro death penalty people is that a convicted criminal has been found guilty and that is the punishment whereas, a fetus hasn't committed a crime and therefor deserves to live.

But this is a whole new thread, I believe!
