Tell Me How You Really Feel

I’m surprised at how many people call themselves a Liberal or a Conservative when often their core beliefs don’t line-up with their self-proclaimed affiliation.  Here are some quick questions I’ve asked friends when they claim one or the other:

Do you believe abortion should be used as a method of birth control?

Do you believe non-felons should have the right to own and keep a handgun in their home for protection?

Do you believe that Socialism is a viable form of government?

Do you believe that Capitalism is evil?

I’m not going to bother to tell you what you are based on how you answered the above questions… If you’re intellectually honest, you should already be looking at both sides of every issue.  That being the case, you should be able to figure it out for yourself.  Since, however, most people can’t be bothered with such things and only make decisions based on feelings – or how something looks on television – I’m content to let you wallow in self-doubt and confusion.

P.S.  Alan Keyes for President.
