    These are two different classes of people- which are you?

    I'm anti-statist. Obviously there are more than two.

    The two are not incompatible.

    I'm both.

    Should have labeled this thread, "Anti-Statist" or "Pro-Statist lite".

    This isn't an "us or them" question, it's asking which flavor of Republican are you. In other words, you're in a voting booth and have to choose either I HATE LIBERALS MORE or I LOVE REPUBLICAN VALUES MORE because if you're not a liberal, it's because you hate one or love the other. Not a hard concept to follow. I just love how everyone is tap-dancing around this simple question.

    Maybe its never dawned on you that being "anti-liberal" and "pro-conservative" are one in the same.

    Have you thought this through or is this just a knee-jerk reaction? Do you even know what you are? You don't, I guess.

    Why would you vote Democrat or Republican?

    I am in the "Republicans are spineless, worthless obsolete corrupt bastards probably siding with the enem, and thus the party should be completely scrapped in place of a real conservative party" camp.

    Sigh.

    Do you like Republican values- is that why you're a Republican? Or is it just that "Republican" means "not Democrat"?

    fine, i'll bite.

    It's the earlier. a better way to have phrased your question would have been to ask if those who vote Republican do so because they love the GOp, or because they hate liberals. I voted for McCain and Romney, not because "OMG, OMG, McCain and Romney are awesome!" I voted for them because Obama sucked, but I wasn't totally upset with my 2012 Senatorial options. It was between an independent and a Republican, both good candidates (neither very partisan), and I was happy with that, even though the guy I voted for lost. The Democrat garnered something like 10pts in one of the more liberal states.

    again, it's not one or the other, it's which one is more true, and for me it's the earlier.

    I'm proud to be both, although I was only able to use one for my handle.

    When it comes down to doing what's best for America, I'm pro-Conservative.

    But when trying to find the weakest links in our society or pinpointing our greatest sources of problems or whenever I want to have some fun trashing those pea brained morons, I am an anti-Libreral in that case. All the way!

    Yeah, well that's what's known as the 'Circle of Jerks' camp.

    Christianity, the one thing Progressive-Leftists claim is so dangerous about the Republican Party is ironically precisely the only thing preventing the maggots from becoming somebody's dinner.

    Aside from the few on top with the brains and brilliant conniving strategic planning, Progressive-Leftists are the weakest among our species.

    Take Christianity out of the Republican Party, like the Progressive-Leftists keep demanding and none of them are safe. What these maggots dont realize is with or without religion, American Conservatives will inherently remain conservative, by nature. Minus all the turn the other cheek sissy garbage

    Umm, neither. Was this thread a knee jerk reaction? Don't you know both stances are mutually exclusive? Obviously not.
