"well, your the one that defends obarry at every other post" mm
What a revealing insight!
I deduce your derisive, disrespectful "obarry" reference is to President Obama.
The reality is, I defend the truth, and advocate for conservative political values.
Yet in your mind, that's:
"defends obarry at every other post" mm
You flatter Obama, and to some extent me, I suppose.
"... so your saying your not a liberal?" mm
I'm too s a v v y to identify myself in the negative; by what I am not.
We are defined by what we are, and I am politically & fiscally conservative. Not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. The only debt I carry is that which accrues between billing periods on my credit cards. I pay no interest on them; so basically it's the bank giving me interest free loans each month.
I own my diesel tractor, my motorcycle, my car, my home, and my estate free and clear; no mortgage, no loan.
I do it. And Uncle Sam should too.
I'm most likely far to the right of you, and unquestionably of our Republican congressional leadership, both loony lefties to me.
- Neither has advocated repealing all U.S. federal entitlement programs: that means Social Security, and all the rest of it.
Speaker Boehner (R-OH) doesn't advocate that.
Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) doesn't advocate that.
I don't consider the VA an entitlement. I consider it an earned benefit; and I advocate preserving that, and that alone.
- I advocate surplus budgets and paying off the debt.
Rand Paul is the only one I know of that might support that. Is he "tea party"?
- The root word of "conservatism" means to conserve. What I intend to conserve is out 18th Century most noble principles. And they are articulated wisely by our Founders:
"Government turns every contingency into an opportunity for amassing greater power." John Adams
"There never was a good war or a bad peace." Benjamin Franklin
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." Thomas Paine

I cyber-indulge you here mm because I am in some sense a patient man. I'm relatively new here, just tonight eclipsing the 300 post count.
I don't need to explain myself to you.
I don't need your validation.
And patient though I may be, I don't have the time to bring you up to speed on reality.
I merely offer you these very generous didactic insights so you in exchange will address my policy positions; and stop trying to confuse our fellow members by you so grossly misrepresenting my positions with false labels and little else.
If mislabeling is the best you can do, perhaps a children's forum would be more your speed.
