Well then, douchebag, I guess that must make me a conservative. |

Seriously, there are a number of fiscal conservatives (note that I mean actual fiscal conservatives, not don't-tax-but-still-spend Republicans) here, that I know of, and probably a handful of social conservatives I don't know about.
Personally, I consider myself a liberal, both in the classic sense of believing in the rule of law and the protection of individual rights, and in the more modern sense, although I don't really find the terms' liberal' and 'conservative' useful in denoting polticial leaning. Most 'conservatives' aren't actually very conservative, and I prefer the term 'progressive' to distinguish my political views from classic liberalism.
