Moderate republican.
Ehjoy back rubs and seafood medley.
And playing bass at Grapefruit League games featuring the Red Sox? ;D
haha dude, it's the majors :) Red Sox do their spring training in my hometown!! Manny ramirez was spotted at my mall buying hats from Lids.
No need to justify it to me. I grew up in Boston, the Red Sox are a religion up here. You just went up 10 points in my book for playing at one of their games. ;D
That just about covers it.....thanks bud.....What he said as well as closed borders and no mexican trucks and the humane treatment of animals.
Independent, fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
I believe nature and the environment are to be treated with respect. Animal abuse has no place in civilized society and our wilderness should be preserved as best as possible. I personally am also very much against urbanization. It has destroyed my town and continues to rape the landscape.
Wow Berzerker... you seem like a pretty sharp guy.Thanks Bulldog, like benfun, I also liked your position on the envirionment and that was very well said the way you worded that. I don't like FNC because I basically see it as the whitehouse's personal propaganda channel and I'm not for state run media outlets or media outlets that fill that position. Unless It is noted as such like with a disclaimer or it were just, like the weekly infomation release from GW... that would be fine.
Except for the anti bush BS I'd say you're damn close to my position. So why hate on FNC so much?
Yes, I'm pro-chavez. That has a lot to do with me being an isolationist and Chavez asserting control for Venezuelan sovereignty in essence putting a fight up to the Globalist march to dominate every people.
Berserker, would you describe yourself as pro-socialism?I'm not anti socialist. I'm not for preventing other nations from becoming socialist. For us I don't think a solid socialist system is a system best suited for the American creature. I'm for what works for the people and what the people want. In a population where most of the people want to socialise and they believe it can work to best fit the needs of the people, hell yes, I'm pro socialist under those terms. ;D Lets face it, there is a 180 degree difference between what is good for the people of American and what is good for the people of Honduras.
Libertarian and Conservative
-I believe in a smaller government but a stronger military.
-I believe libralism discourages prosperity, true tolerance, and eliminates any form of justice.
-I believe I should be able to have as much control over my life as possible. I do not trust the government to make my decisions for me.
-I believe in a truly secure border including deportation of illegals and an effective immigration control policy.
-I believe in the constitution as the backbone of this country and constant attempts from the left to "interpret" the amendments differently than the founding fathers is destroying the fabric of freedom.
-I believe preferential treatment based on race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference has no place in government or the workplace but is completely allowed for in a private institution or group.
-I believe Americans are grossly over-taxed and most of the money that government takes from us every years goes to the garbage can.
-I believe the idea of emminent domain (check spelling) is completely illegal and unconstitutional. The government has ZERO right to seize private property.
Isn't it interesting how people's eyes are opened up when they actually see what you think and believe as opposed to just slapping a label on you and assuming what you stand for? :)

Whereas you require no label. The fact you believe taxi drivers' rights to refuse blind folk from entering their cabs trump those of our vision impaired friends' speaks wonders.
Again, we see the far Left and far Right holding hands.
'kay bruce... and when did you graduate high sckool, exactally?

What we must remember is this:
There are possible things you are no matter what you said you are:
1. What you think you are
2. What other people think you are
3. What you actually are

True, but I tried to get a little debate going and no reply was forthcoming - I just think sometimes having the topic at the top of the page makes people roll their eyes over it. I know the first part of the page I look at is the most recently replied 'normal' topic below the stickies.
Libertarianism is a version of liberalism.
*Hope this helps*

What, my "socialist" vote for Jag doesn't count? :)MM69 didn't chime in either. But that list doesn't look nearly as lobsided as you claimed the board to be.

I know the first part of the page I look at is the most recently replied 'normal' topic below the stickies.Probably not the best thread to debate someone on an issue as it can derail the purpose of the thread. Feel free to call someone out on a political point and my guess it the issue will most likely be successfully debated.

You mean the scientific poll at the start of this thread? Oh I'm convinced. :) What's the big deal anyway? I think the board tilts left, but so what? Some might think it tilts right. Some might think it's right down the middle. Big deal. Doesn't bother me. Certainly not anything I'm losing any sleep over.
1. You need a scientific poll to reveal the way board members say they lean ??? ::)
2. You ask, "what's the big deal?" I don't know, you're the one that always pops up with how left leaning the forum is... If there's a big deal, you've been the one making it, not me.
3. You think the board "tilts" left? As a matter of a fact you've gone a lot farther than "tilts" I believe you phrased it more like, "liberals dominate this board" (http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=131441.msg1859688#msg1859688)
4. I'm glad it's not a big deal, I would think it should not be, but understand, the accusation for those on the receiving end seems like tool/weapon used against them. If it's not a big deal, I do wonder, why it gets brought up so often... I hope most of the board participates in the poll. I'm truly interested in seeing how things are stacked simply because there have been so many accusations that the board leans extremely left.
I really don't see what the BIG deal is.
What does it matter who's dominating the forum?
Nothing is stopping anyone from posting stuff.
Oh good grief. Stop making a federal case out of this.It gets brought up a lot by several people. If you haven't knowticed, I'm not the one that made the federal case, have you been reading the board? All the time people are saying the board leans to left. Added together is has been a big deal. If you haven't noticed, I've been defending the board from the accusation all over the place over the last month. Forgive me for seeing a thread pop up that shows the place is hardly as lefty stacked that the righties on the board have been claiming it is.

Yes I read the board, although I don't read every thread, or every post in every thread.
You don't need to "defend the board." No one is attacking the board, or you. At least I'm not. I don't know if you've noticed, but even though we have had our differences, I have never complained about the way this board is moderated. I think you're taking this stuff too seriously. You shouldn't view comments about whether the board is liberal, conservative, etc. as an attack on the way the board is being run (or you personally).
I'm not speaking for Berserker, but from my perspective, when I see the amount of bombs lobbed at Berserker lately, it's hard for him not to see these nonsense "complaints" as attacks against him, the board, and how he does his job.
You're not speaking for Berserker you're just speaking for Berserker. :) I haven't noticed. Nor do I care. This is not a pay site. Maybe everyone needs to view it like I do (as a source of entertainment). Anyone who doesn't like it can leave. Not a big deal. But this is horse is about dead. :)
I'd like to take this time and kick it a little more by saying Johnny Apollo is out there somewhere

I think you're just all blown out of shape that the results didn't show the place to be a liberal circle jerk.
Yea sure, whatever your highness says,
