I have a hard time putting an exact title on your political side (other than fucked up some times ha ha ) that fits with you, not buying into everything Bush is doing.
Believe me, I don't like everything Bush is doing either. He is too liberal for me in some areas. Especially domestic issues. He spends money like it is going out of style and has expanded the government too much. Dept. of Homeland Security is a big joke. He is also scared of the criticism from liberals. In a way he should be, they have all the major media pushing for them. He should hold his ground on more issues. He does not. He flips flops to avoid the criticism and I also wish he would start firing more of the dead wood. I hate the way he is afraid to fire anyone who fucks up. Most of the fuckups responsible for 9/11 due to incompetance have been promoted and that is ridiculous.

The PD is not where I got any ideals from. The streets of NY just confirmed my ideals.

I remember having political discussions as a kid. I was always a political conservative even as a child. I used to have a politician in my family. She was from my mother's side. That wing of the family was very "left wing" ...definitely socialists, and I hated all of them for the ridiculous notions they would throw around. I was the only kid out of the entire extended family that ever called them on their bullshit. They didn't like me very much. It's embarrassing when a kid bests you in a political argument and actually is aware of issues.

I too can say your ideas are fucked up. That's the funny thing about perception. You have grown up with socialism. You don't know any better. Your father remembers a different time and saw first hand how evil socialists can be.
Well, let me tell you one of the main reasons I decided to leave Denmark. Being a socialist Democratic country I had a very hard time when I joined the tax paying workforce.

I paid 54% (Fifty four percent) tax on an income that was about 30.700 US Dollars. Out of that I would get a small tax break for owing $130.000 on a mortgage that was 13% interest.

Post 2ndary education is free, PROVIDED you have the grades to be accepted. Which makes the competition impossible and leaves people studying for 3-5years more than they need to attain the grades or qualifying cources.

Welfare is out of control. You would be paid 80% of your last end salary for up to 2 years, with no cap, then be eligible to enter a re-educational program fully paid for which means they would pay you to go to school. again no incentive to get off your ass and take a less paying job to actually have a purpose in life.

Health Care is free. This is the only part I still am thankful for. My mother has had 2 strokes and a hard bout with lung cancer (Smoker), she is 62years of age and needs care. We have her in her own house with a nurse station for every 15 units, She gets meals delivered everyday and it is costing us less than $1000 a month. BUT it has also brought out all the people who are just abusing the system because they are lonely or somehting.

I have never been unemployed, I had my first part-time job when I was 13, sweeping floors at a factory, My first job in Canada paid $14.000 Canadian which is now slightly less than minimum wage, I wanted to break into the Travel industry without going to school so i had to accept it as was.

If being a Liberal is agreeing with some of the measures the newly elected Liberal Government in BC had to implement to avoid the province from going broke then yes, that is what I am. They had to do some deep cuts that hurt the fat ass union people, the healthcare sector and Government employees in general, What is unbelieveable to me is that most people here can not see past their own noses. I do not mind paying a gas tax if it actually helps our economy and put the province into a positive balance.

Buttom line:

I can't stand freeloathers, Racists, narrow minded people, people with no emphacitcs listening skills,

Hi I'm Claus. Nice to meet you...
