Prophetic Politics (moral, Earth, tradition, homosexuality, choices)

[Terrywoodenpic]

In the UK Liberals have always been in the forefront on the G and L rights issues.

Unlike the in the USA they were the first to introduce an Abortion Bill and have it pass through parliament on a Private members Bill free vote. (any opposition within parliament and such Bills fail.)

Details about abortions have always been an Issue in the UK. but not the woman's right to a choice. The Right to life issue is at a fairly low level here.( and it is not supported by any legislation from any party)

The people it appeals to are very strong on issues like marriage, raising kids, and individual ethics, but without being right-wing reactionary, or mean-spirited or scapegoating against any group of people, such as homosexuals. They can be pro-life, pro-family, nd pro-feminist, all at the same time. They think issues of "moral character" are very important, both in a politician's personal life and in his or her policy choices. Yet they are decidedly pro-poor, for racial reconciliation, critical of purely military solutions, and defenders of the environment.

Finally! A political ideology that describes me perfectly! Seriously, I never know how to describe myself politically. Now I do.

Is this just a dream, too good to be true?

Oh, I hope it's not just a dream.
