Phillip D. Palmer Essays - Conservatism In The United States

Phillip D. Palmer Texas Government 2306 Professor Bailey July 19, 2015 Phillip D. Palmer's Political Ideology In my own words I am going to explain what a solid liberal means to me. Now even though the political typology quiz that we had to take online says that I am a "Solid Liberal" I don't believe that in reality I'm as liberal as most of the other members Democratic Party. I am religious man. I am a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. With that being said, some of the liberal views of this day and time I totally disagree with it because of my Christian beliefs. The social acceptance of same sex marriage is a big topic right now. Governor Greg Abbott passed a bill that protects the ministers, preachers, and pastors from not getting reprimanded for standing from on their beliefs that marriage is to solely be between a man and a woman. On the lighter side of things, I am very liberal when it comes down to the government helping the middle and lower class by providing health insurance and government assistance programs such as W.I.C., Food Stamps, daycare programs, tax breaks, etc. So I truly say that I am a solid liberal or a steadfast conservative. I consider myself to be close to the middle but still more liberal than conservative. The state agency of Parks and Wildlife is one that I've personally used before. My family and I go camping often and we try and switch us our campsites every few years. There are so many state parks in Texas that we have used this site to get information on all of them. Each park has its own set of rules and guidelines concerning camping. This website gives us great insight on the natural resources, camp space, and also the history of the park as well.
