This is starting to sound like a conservative-libertarian dating service…geeze.

Now now, y’all, don’t be so hard on him.

George, that is a common misconception spread by the media to demonize a group of people.

Supposedly, all conservatives are white male Republican church-going pro-lifers. I recommend that you shuck that crap immediately. It simply isn’t true, can’t be demonstrated, and is a dangerous way of thinking.

This is one of the big problems we have with the liberal UO: the hypocrisy. Sure, when it comes to their diversity, labels and stereotypes aren’t welcome. However, labels and stereotypes, even discrimination and physical harassment, are perfectly acceptable when it comes to “conservatives.”

There are such things as fundamentalists and that is whom you are thinking of. There are also neo-conservatives, moderate conservatives, old-school conservatives, social conservatives and economic conservatives.

On this blog and in the Commentator proper, you’ll quickly learn that we are not fundamentalist. We fall on the side of libertarian-moderate; not to be confused with big “L” Libertarian.

Personally, I’m a moderate social libertarian and an economic conservative. My one pet peeve: radical feminism. Blech.

You gotta remember what a shock it would be to the extremist left if the secret got out about 50% of OC’s staff who voted for Gore and then 50% (?) who voted for Kerry in the elections against Bush.

Believe it or not, there are even some of us “conservatives” who believe in abortion, abolishing the death penalty, and that the designated hitter was the worst thing to happen to professional baseball (besides television being invented).
