I'm pretty liberal on most issues, especially economic ones. Where I agree with conservatives:
1.) I supported the war in Iraq, albeit for humanitarian reasons.
2.) I'm strongly pro-law enforcement. I believe we should be diligent in prosecuting even minor crimes, like Giuliani did in NYC. People may be born poor (which I believe is a massive injustice), but they are not born criminals, they choose to become criminals. (I am against the death penalty, but not really on moral grounds.)
3.) I think that liberal rhetoric is often insulting to people who base their politics on religious faith. I think moral and religious values should have a greater place in public debate. For instance, on abortion, I am personally pro-choice, but I don't think you can counter an "abortion is murder" argument with "right to privacy" argument.
