Politically, I consider myself a moderate, being socially progressive and fiscally more conservative. I hope I can fit in well with you folks and look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and opinions.

Welcome to our addiction.

[Contempt]

I am new here... just found this website off Google after typing "political discussion" in the search box.

I'm a twenty-two year old college student from the Chicago area. In the last few months, I have made it a point to pay more attention to the news. I at times will browse through both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times, get my news off the web (Yahoo, CNN, NYTimes, NYPost, Fox News, etc.), and get it from the TV (Fox News, CNN, ABC News, local news, etc.).

I do not feel I am either a republican or a democrat. I feel there are issues I am still confused about, and not sure which side I fully believe in. There are some points that I think liberals are correct in, while there are others that I believe conservatives are correct in.

The simple reason I am here now, is to observe the discussions, hopefully take part, and ultimately learn something... have a better understanding of our government, our country and our world.

Hi Board! I am Beer. I live and work in Philly. I stumbled upon this site through Google. I hope to participate in discussion with an open mind. Politics can get heated. But that is fine with me. Good to meet you all.

I think everybody here (or at least, all those that matter) already know and love beer.

I've been here for a while now, but only just noticed this thread.

Great site, great members - VERY active forum, and I love that!!

Anyway I guess I've already introduced myself enough via other posts so I won't take up too much room here!

Cheers,
Rahul

As a transplanted Midwesterner born in Philly, welcome.

Hi. A conservationist is someone who believes in nurturing and preserving nature as part of traditional values. I'm about half Conservative, half Liberal, but 100% behind the traditional Indo-European culture to which I belong. Fond of literature, philosophy, music and beer. Am looking forward to absorbing ideas from other people and finding others who believe our society's on the wrong path and needs a redesign.
