If each of us were to inventory our stance on various positions we would find that it would be truly difficult to identify ourselves as either liberal or conservative. Even when we look back on our lives we may find that we vacillate on a given issue as we learn more about the issue and even ourselves. Labels such as liberal or conservative have long been used to polarize politics and hopefully we have matured to the point of seeing beyond these tactics.
Paradoxically we are seeing radical positions on certain issues defined as conservative simply because the party that identifies itself with conservatism has adopted that position and and a conservative position on a particular issue defined as liberal because of the party's label.
