  1. Just a quick note of clarification on a subject mentioned a couple of days ago…

    A friend sent me an e-mail about a one-time rightie blogger who called himself Laughing Boy and then elbee but has since left the blog. I am informed that it was because someone outed him and he almost lost his job. I had forgotton that detail.

  2. OK, mea culpa. I helped to hijack a thread about One Colorado opposition to recall's anti gay spokesperson

    But, I still think it's an interesting question: What policy positions do you personally hold, which are outside the bounds of what people expect from a conservative/moderate/liberal/progressive whatever you are?

    Mine, as I said on the other thread, is that I support the death penalty for DNA verified serial murdereres and rapists. Liberals are "supposed"  to be anti-death penalty.

    1. As with most things subjective, it depends on who you ask. I think I am fairly conservative fiscally. Socially, I'm very liberal, but I am a gun owner, christian, white (mostly), southern, businessman. But I am also a blue collar, guitar playing, mountain man, who loves nothing more than enjoying friends over a cold one.

      I have always liked to think of my self as a political anomaly, one of millions like me, who are trying to find someone to speak for them through this insane, "for the rich only", political system.

      I am not comfortable in a mold and I most of the people I know are similarly disinclined to have someone point and say, …oh, you're one of those ….Democrats. Yes…in some ways. In other ways…I'm a registered Democrat. I vote, pretty exclusively, for Democrats, but not out of allegiance…by any means. The Democratic party is not primarily a patriarchal, lock-step, heirarchy that bounces out the disobedient. It lets me be an active participant without demanding fealty to a central committee and its message.

      Democracy encourages dissent and compromise. Republicanism (as I see it currently defined) doesn't. Pretty simple, eh, Dr. Moderatus? If I may be so bold as to speak for many of my friends here…please let us in on the image you have of us…the inhabitants of "LiberalLand". We have much to learn…

      you have the floor…..

       

  3. Turns out that legislative license plates aren't logged in the statewide database. In other words, every traffic violation from red light cameras to parking tickets that relies on a database lookup to has been overlooking legislators' cars.
