Reply #62: I'd have to disagree

[NeoConned]

I've heard conservatives say the same things about progressives (i.e. "...we see possibilities, we see the world that can be, we see hope.")
It's like we talk past each other though. For instance, abortion. Both sides are never going to agree because the wording that each side uses may be in the same language but the words and phrases mean different things to both. Pro-Choice does not mean the same to a conservative as it does to a progressive in the abortion debate. Yet when the subject becomes education, Pro-Choice takes on yet a different meaning. But in each case, one side is taking up the libertarian argument.
I firmly believe that no sane person does something for an irrational reason. If you look at their actions and they don't make sense to you then you probably don't have the full picture.
