[Charles V]

Greetings.

Apparently these forums have a very positive reputation elsewhere on the Internet. Therefore, I am here.

Liberal or conservative you ask? None - not only because these terms are relative, and what is liberal to Americans might seem mainstream conservative to Europeans, but because surely one can never reasonably be fully liberal or fully conservative, no? And in that spirit:

''Being a leftist is like being a rightist, one of the infinite ways in which Man may choose to be an imbecile: both, in effect, are forms of moral hemiplegia.'' - José Ortega y Gasset

Anyways, enough talk. Glad to be here.

Born and raised in Spain, Malaga to be precise. However, I currently live in New York, US of A.

I'm Independent myself which keeps me from being a lefty or righty.

Best thing to be IMHO. Credibility, stances and personal qualities of those running should decide one's vote, not one's affiliation with a specific party.

I appreciate the warm welcome received. Great community I see. :peace:
