So are there any right-wing Mormon Republicans in the forum audience?

Conservative or ultra-conservative?

Extremist in defense of liberty or just extreme?

Moksha?

Where do you think you are?

You might as well be sitting in downtown Provo! :P

Actually, I've been pleasantly surprised lately by the number of purplers amongst the redsters in our little neck of the world where I still think I'm the only bluester. But prove me wrong Moksha! Prove me wrong!

Personally I'm pretty much a straight libertarian, the only thing I really disagree with the hard line libertarians is the death penalty. So depending on what issue you speak of I could be seen as either a conservative or a liberal extremist.

In regards to LDS in general though, I'd say about 80% are ultra-conservative.

Not sure I can say until I know what you consider a Conservative, A Right-Wing Conservative, an Extreme Conservative, or an Extreme Right-Wing Conservative.



Maybe some definitions and then I would know what you are thinking they are and I can tell you where I fall in your definition.



Conservative to some is Extreme Right-Wing to others.

I would consider some one like my father an "Ultra-Conservative". At least that's what he calls himself. He is of the opinion that gays should have NO rights and the "Muslims" are savages. Before everyone jumps on ME, let me say I do NOT share his views. There are some very nice Muslims and what people do in their private bedrooms is their concern not mine or the Governments. I would consider myself a Moderate Conservative. Whatever that means anyways.

Just my thoughts :P

Since it is my world, I am the definition of an extreme moderate. I am the middle. If you're to the right of me, you're conservative. If to the left, you're liberal. Any questions? :-) j/k kidding etc. etc. etc.
