Oh, My Gawd, I'M a Liberal Conservative

I believe that everyone should have the right to be whoever they are
And allow others to exercise that same right

I believe that everyone should have the right to think what they think
And allow others to exercise that same right

I believe that everyone should be able to speak their mind
And allow others to speak theirs

I believe that I have the right to disagree with your thoughts and beliefs
And that you have the right to disagree with my thoughts and beliefs

I know that my thoughts and beliefs have been influenced by your thoughts and beliefs
Because I listened to your voices not your shouting.

And I would hope the same is true of your thoughts and beliefs.

I believe that we are all Americans, or came here and became Americans
Because in America we can find a way to become whoever we are,
Believe and think as we will, and speak of these beliefs openly.

I believe that we all have a responsibility to protect and defend
The principles of this nation and to preserve the promise of its Constitution.

If you have read this far you may be becoming A CONSERVATIVE LIBERAL….

You're lucky not to be in Britain. Free speech disappeared a long way back. Politicians are that bad, we just vote celebs now. Liberals still have meetings in phone boxes, though, so not all bad.
