Desert Rose left because the place is so left wing. She is more to the right of me even.

Were people taunting her, or not responding to her threads, etc because they didn't like her views? Or was she just irritated when people expressed theirs?
For example, I have posted with a group of moms for a long time, and they are mostly conservative. For a few years it didn't matter, we were all moms together and had more in common than not. But as the babies grew, there started to be a whole lot of "anyone who is pro-choice should have their kids taken away" and "Obama is a muslim and all muslims are the debil." That combined with a lack of decent coversation about anything we did have in common caused me to post less and less.
But unless I pointed it out, would my discussion about sex, blow jobs, how i like to be roughed up during sex, give any clue to my political leanings?

I'm conservative with a strong belief in personal responsibility. I don't think my political views have much to do with my sexual views however since I don't think that a politician has any place in bedroom unless I happen to be having sex with him.

Someone called her a republican cunt on the GB but that's par for the course there. No, she just doesn't like reading the viewpoints. I don't think anyone here was mean to her. Most here probably miss her being around. Those who knew her.

I had no idea she was more conservative than you.
There aren't many here who consistently post in political threads. It seems like it's a handful of us. There are conservatives and liberals who don't argue politics here. And to me it seems like there's a larger contingent of independents who don't consistently vote.

Yeah I got her started in blogging and now she is a conservative blogger. She doesn't want me giving out the link here though. I did once and she got mad.

That's the interesting personality-quiz part of this. Of course, by making switches pick you might be overlooking something there.

Ha ha, yes, dear, I saw the link, and also figured she asked you to take it down.

Dom, libertarian with Republican leanings. I've voted every election since Reagan, and have never once voted for a Democrat. Which isn't to say I'm a fan of GWB or the neo-cons, only that I thought the Dems would be infinitely worse.
Hot button issues:
Free speech.
Love my guns.
Small gov't.
Low taxes.
Free markets.
Mind your own business.
Strict interpretation of the Constitution - none of this living document bullshit. It's an anchor that keeps us from drifting where we shouldn't go, not something that can mean whatever seems fashionable.

Submissive with switchy tendencies and leaning far to the left.

Me too!
That whole "living document" aspect of the Constitution dates back to the first supreme court. Judicial review and all that. I am somewhat conservative on judicial interpretation, but for me that means interpreting the constitution by looking closely at the intent of the drafters by using historical sources. It's both a living document and an anchor. I think it's pretty genius, actually.
And it's funny that you use the word "fashionable." In many cases, it's considered an act of judicial restraint when justices adhere to popular opinion rather than enacting a rule that may be considered radical.

No question that it's genius. It provides for change, but slows the process to allow for cooler heads to prevail.
The biggest issue I have with interpretation is when judges rely more on stare decis than on the intent of the original document. Small mistakes ratchet into big ones. One glaring example of that is the Kelo case on eminent domain in New London, CT. I think the founders would be spinning in their graves knowing that the government would seize one person's property to give it another, even if doing so did improve tax revenues. The great tragedy in that case is the development in that seized neighborhood never happened, nor is it likely to. It's now a bulldozed wasteland.

I'm very liberal with a strong belief in personal responsibility. Go figure!
You know, she could have just refrained from opening the political threads.
As for the GB, lots of good ol' boys over there - Republicans and tea baggers alike.

Were you here for this thread on political affiliation? She described herself as libertarian.
Last I heard she was supporting Mr. 9/11 in the primaries. Don't remember anything since.

I don't think either the right or left wing remotely addresses the potential of the individual to, given *skills* and a shot, make money.
The right expects him to make money given no skills and no leverage.
The left expects other people's taxes to solve him as a social problem.
The person himself would rather crack another beer and bitch about salary than figure out if he's got *anything* that even a few people in his immediate vicinity need/want.
I wonder how many people actually know how to get a TID# or bother? Or who don't go into business because they love the short form so much?
I'm also feeling very "so fucking MOVE" when I hear the Springsteen refrain of blah blah blah nothing in this town. Sorry. Just do.
