<p>I find it kinda interesting how today "liberal" has become a dirty word.
Liberal = Progressivism. What's wrong with progress? Almost a century ago, candidates were competing to see who was the most progressive. Though I guess this country goes in cycles over time--going from liberalism back to conservatism and back again. A kind of tug of war that keeps the nation from flying off wildly into the abyss. Conservatism is just as necessary as liberalism for us to stay on a steady track.</p>

<p>Ultimately, though, the general trend has always been a slow inching in the direction of progressivism.</p>

<p>Personally, I guess I'm pretty liberal, but I'm subconsciously conservative in a few ways. Basically, I believe in freedom. In that respect, you could call me an anarchist.</p>

<p>WATCH OUT! :eek:</p>

<p>i think that its too hard to look at the teenage liberals vs. teenage conservatives bc/ the reasons for each person's political choices is too complicated to disect and understand.</p>

<p>With the information you've provided, I'd call you a libertarian not an anarchist. Anarchists are far too optimistic for my tastes.</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree. I just was trying to find an excuse to use the "eek" smiley. ;p</p>

<p>That website is a beacon of hope for progressive as well as conservative Christians who actually have intellectual discussions rather than shouting/flaming bouts. Thank you for sharing it with us.</p>

<p>you're welcome. you can find some really knowledgeable people on the forum who really know their stuff. a lot of the things they discuss about give you some more perspective to issues. greatest thing about debatingchristianity is that nobody insults each other and have 30-page wars saying stuff they can't back up (happens ALL the time at other religious debate forums you can find on google). i like it. oh, and i know the guy who created the website, smart man.</p>
