Liberal or Progressive?

[BluegrassStateBlues]

10. I don't fit a particular ideology.

I am driven by results and believe that the ends usually justify the means. If the trains can run on time without anything too heinous going on to make sure of it, I can jive with that.

I struggle mostly with issues that have no right or wrong answer. I always have. So I usually go with the majority opinion on those issues. The majority of liberal positions, however, are based solely on facts and that's why I identify with liberals and the Democratic Party most of all.

Let's take the issue of torture for extracting information for an example. Numerous studies have concluded that information derived from the use of torture is mostly invalid, so why put a human being through something that horrific if it doesn't produce results? Thus, my position on torture is that I'm wholly against it.
