Yeah, that's what I think is kind of funny about the whole issue...

You mentioned liberals as being more "government as mommy". While I consider myself pretty liberal, I'm also pretty capitalist. I'm opposed to things like a welfare state and social security (I fall in the middle on healthcare).

It seems like there are several viewpoints glommed into these two categories. If I were a hardliner on drugs, but a capitalist, would I have to flip a coin?
