Justice conservatism, do you realize that the "mainstream" conservative media freequently lies and distorts? Here are some examples. Remember these are just a few:

"they've found large concentrations of cyanide agent, mustard agents in the Eurphrates..."
-Sean Hannity on WMD in Iraq
FALSE!

"I have never. That's a lie. A complete lie."
-Bill O'reilly responding to a call that an Arab-American made claiming that Bill compared the Koran to Mein Kampf.
FALSE! Bill did compare the Koran to Mein Kampf

"It took the New York times two days to deem Earnhardts death sufficiently important enough to mention it on the front page."
-Ann Coulter on Liberal Meida
FALSE! The New York times released a story the day after.

So what do you say, Justice?

Liberal.

Most young people don't know it, yet being a liberal benefits them. Conservative women who believe they are equal to men are the biggest sufferers in terms of politics.

Osvo: First off, who do you trust more, the people at Berkley or MTV? Secondly, the south is presently the fastest growing part of the country (particularly when it comes to suburban growth), so it is increasingly affecting “mainstream” culture more so than it has in the past. Just check out this census chart from CNN if you don’t believe me:



Lastly, of course "Conservatism" plays a major role in "mainstream" America*. Just look at talk radio, politics, best sellers lists, etc. Conservative movements exert a huge amount of influence on American culture.

*What do you call "mainstream" America anyway?

Nader is running as an independent. You should try to be less ignorant.

And uh...guess what? Ralph Nader isn't holding every single office held by a Green Party member. In fact, he's not holding a single one of them. He's not even affiliated with them.

The green party has just become a vehicle for Nader's giant, cross-country, ego trip.

Osvo: The University of Berkley found that Teens seem to be becoming more “conservative” (I use that word reluctantly) and religious on social issues such as Abortion, School Prayer, and government funding of faith based charities. Here’s an excerpt from the report/study:

•59 percent of adults ages 27 to 59 want public schools to allow prayer at official school activities such as commencements while 69 percent of teenagers support school prayer.
•Thirty-four percent of adults support government restrictions of abortion, the report said, while about 44 percent of youths age 15 to 22 support such restrictions.
•Forty percent of adults registered support federal aid to faith-based charities, meanwhile, while 59 percent of college-aged youth and 67 percent of younger teens support such funding.

The definitions of "liberal" and "conservative" have increasingly become more inconsistent and confusing. They're also very hard to apply to some people (i.e. Libertarians, Fascists, etc.). So it's probably a bad idea to label yourself as either of one them (and if you do, at least explain why).
