No place for Constitutional Libertarians, I guess. We’re too small to matter - the groups listed are Big Government clients all the way across the spectrum.

On the right, the Steadfast Conservatives are described as your typical Tea Party adherent, socially conservative, wary of big government and isolationist, pretty much your Ted Cruzs of the world. This group makes up the Republican base... Stopped reading right there. Maybe at one point in the past, but now? Nope.

I think it’s stupid to spend a lot of time coming up with labels.
For one thing, labels distract from the content.
Also, they set up a target for those who practice Alinskyism.
Anyway, there will be many who don’t fit into these artificial labels.

the Strong Liberals, who are pretty much what most people would describe as true-blue Democrats...... Are gullible, easily lied to and manipulated, herd-able like sheep and basically as destructive as locust are to a field of corn.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I’m listed as a steadfast conservative, but I don’t buy it.
I’m very conservative in many ways, but am actually quite libertarian in most of my views.
At best, government is a necessary evil; at worst, it is an intolerable one.

Are gullible, easily lied to and manipulated, herd-able like sheep and basically as destructive as locust are to a field of corn. That's because they have the hive mentality. The collective makes all decisions. Their ability to make independent decisions atrophies, and they revert to the level of a 3-year old.

So within these categories, the only reference to religion is for the “Faith and Family” left?! Give me a break! That only makes sense if they have faith in humanism (or anything else besides God) and the “family” is two individuals of the same sex.

I think we can just say, “P -— ew!”
I’m sure there are divisions but I don’t trust Pew to define them for me.
