Wichita - I think you are adding an additional dimension to Sisko's comment that is not there. Specifically - he is stating that liberals are generous - he is not stating that conservatives are not generous.

In light of accusations thrown out in another thread a few days ago I can understand why he would take every opportunity to show liberals are generous. You know both groups can be generous - stating that one group is does not automatically mean that the other group is not. :shrug:

Gvok has been the most reserved one on this thread (see I do notice when you behave Gvok ;) )

It is noted and appreciated. :)

You are right, Minuet. Gvok used the word "more" - not Sisko. I read the two together wrong.

My apologies Sisko for misunderstanding what you said.

Just to clairify I was refering to conservative politicians and that they seem to be more interested in tax cuts than balancing the budget. Whereas the liberal politicians are more interested in balancing the budget than tax cuts.

Are you addressing me? If so, I suppose the Bush Administration at least claims to be conservative.

Yes, and they claim to be Republican (a political party).

I don't think that the Republican party has been acting very fiscally conservative as of late. I get a little irritated when people blame the conservative political philosophy for the actions of the Republican Party. Especially when people do this on purpose to make some sort of deceitful point.

I'm not sure what you are talking about when you imply I'm trying to make a decietful point. But as far as I know, most Republicans who call themselves conservatives also claim to not care about the debt. To me, this is not a very conservative stance to take. That's the only point I'm trying to make.

I'd like to add my apologies for the tacky behavior. Sometimes I like to tease my lefty-left leaning friends.... and that's all it was (teasing) and who it was directed to (Gvok and Sisko) No more.. no less. I hope no conservatives take offense to the teasing.....

If I call myself a communist and reject collectivism, does that say something about the communist philosophy or make me incorrect in classifying myself?

The conservative would advocate a small, well-managed budget that takes care of the necessary essentials of the government as defined in the constitution. This does not include running and servicing a debt. The conservative would then be interested that all other wealth, property and rights be reserved for the States and people to do with as they will.

The Republican Party on the surface appears to be the party of fiscal and social conservatism, but to me seems mainly socially conservative and closer to center fiscally. George Bush is no fiscal conservative, but is a social conservative.

The Republican Party is the closest thing that a conservative has to a home in the US political landscape at this time.

The Libertarian Party may be very fiscally conservative, but they are very liberal socially.

I choose to vote for the Republican Party at this point as they are closest to me, but I am most accurately defined as conservative.
