I'm in heaven!

Look what I found: http://www.progunprogressive.com/

At last a place on the web for the 9 or so people in the world just like me -the Pro-gun progressive.

From the "about us" section of the site (emphasis added by me)

Some Progressives do not feel that anything inherent in their

liberalism precludes self-defense. Social liberalism is fundamentally about bearing an open mind and recognizing that what works for one person might not work for another, and thus every American needs to be free to make choices about their personal behavior. Few choices are as intimate, as personal, and as vital as choosing to protect oneself and loved ones from violent attack. A truly free and liberal society lets citizens make these sorts of choices for themselves and encourages citizens to participate in their own defense. Progressives are on the right side of so many important social issues in this regard-the freedom to choose one’s mate, the freedom to chose one’s religion, the freedom to chose and express one’s political beliefs, the freedom to make choices about reproductive health-and should be on the right side of this issue as well.

Yeah, but would you vote the party line if you got elected?

I think I will keep my opinion to myself.

Wise man.

I'll bet Len does the same.

Len you are not alone dude.

I always considered myself a liberal until recently the Dem's turned it into a dirty word.

Funny how "liberty" is something to be used to hold others down now.

Of course! all the way!

In all seriousness, I seriously doubt it. I often disagree with my side. I just happen to disagree with the other side more often.

Exactly.

Well, since "your side" is pro-gun control, I guess I'd have to vote against you.

Now if they would just apply those same principles to the economic realm we might have something to talk about.

I am currently reading David Horowitz's book about the Left and its involvement with Islamo-fascism. It is an amazing read about the various connections, historical, financial, and philosophical, between and among the current "anti war" and "anti global" mindset and the old Communist Party.

The problem I see with the liberal mindset as propagated by the national D party is they seem to believe that the government is there to protect you and take care of your every need, you are not worthy of making decisions for yourself. That basic theme is just way too common from that side.

And then there's the repubs, don't get me started on them...
