Liberals and Conservatives can fall on different sides of that divide.<BR/><BR/>The social issues can seem to divide but I think the country is pretty life and let live on those.<BR/><BR/>The one issue I really have changed my thinking about is abortion. I've come to believe laws should be much more restrictive there. I think overturning Roe would be a very good thing and that this issue should be put into the legislatures. I thing that would harm Republicans more then Democrats.<BR/><BR/>I'm always troubled when a faith becomes overly identified with a political movement. I don't see it in my Church but it's pervasive in the blogs I read. <BR/><BR/>Do let me know should you ever try and gather as an informat group of UU bloggers. I'm fascinated with it and the networks of people I've made. People I never would have met otherwise.<BR/>BillBill Baarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095486926836836714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1135090145258409782005-12-20T09:49:00.000-05:002005-12-20T09:49:00.000-05:00Most people I now view themselves as either libera...Most people I now view themselves as either liberal or conservative.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, and Paul has clearly never met stupid dog.<BR/><BR/>CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1135089809953179622005-12-20T09:43:00.000-05:002005-12-20T09:43:00.000-05:00Although he focuses more on poetry than politics t...Although he focuses more on poetry than politics the "Shadow of Diogenes" <A HREF="http://shadowofdiogenes.blogs.com/shadow/" REL="nofollow">http://shadowofdiogenes.blogs.com/shadow/</A> is a conservative Unitarian blogger. <BR/><BR/>Check out this joke from his site:<BR/>"(Q) What is the difference between a Liberal and a puppy?
