Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI work with moderate liberals all the time. And a few militant ones.
When I come on here, with its conservative US focus, I find words I think I know the meaning of used in peculiar ways. I think for example that Obama is slightly right of centre and as an Australian I'm disappointed in what his presidency has achieved. He is certainly not a socialist. I think the US electorate is further to the right than ours. We've had a woman, atheist PM living in a de facto relationship. That must blow you guys's minds. You have an electorate where no one has a hope of being elected to higher office without publicly avowing their Christianity and yet you think American Christianity is persecuted.
I find it all really weird.

Originally posted by pancreasman View PostI was just thinking this morning that I feel the Western world is lurching to the right. We have conservative governments in the UK, the US and Oz. In fact here, our conservative Liberal party (which is liberal in no sense of the word) is much more conservative than previous Liberal governments. So much so, that a previous Liberal party PM, Malcom Fraser, has left his own party!
