This may or may not belong in the political section, but what the hell it has to go somewhere. I never used to consider myself a 'liberal' in my political, spiritual, actual views, only a moderate, but after recent readings and lectures I've had the misfortune to hear on the conservative 'agenda' I'm happily grabbing the liberal flag and running as far as I can to the Left. Conservative issues seem more to be about racisim, homophobia, fire arm advocacy and the inability to realize or issue social change. I know this is NOT new news to most of us in the world today but I guess I had not realized how far it has gone. I try not use terms like 'fascist' ( it seems thats what all liberals are calling conservatives now) when the term is unjust but that is exactly what seems to be going on as I search other news groups and forums. They seem on the verge of recreating the HUAC or starting thier own army. Now, I've always feared and distrusted my goverment, as I fear and distrust any goverments. But this is getting bone-chillingly out of hand. I just want to realize whats going on.

1) what is the conservative 'goal'?
2) how do you justify militant conservatives?
3) can you logically justify your own biliefs in conservatisim?
4) are you all just really nuts?
