So you support the US spending 50% of its budget on defence?

If thats the case, your liberal except on that issue

Well, from what I can assume, not so much are you necessarily for Kerry, but your views are more liberal than conservative, I can assure you.

In fact, I support most of the things you support.

I can't help you on the "economy," subject, but imagine the economy is a person like you or I; that has spent half his money on guns, candy, and a bible.

If you replase "military" with something constructive, you can pass off for a Green Party voter, or maybe a Nader type.

So... why do you need to stand as either Conservative or Liberal... stand by your beliefs and be an AMERICAN.

anything else is extra fluff.

But be careful that you hold tight to that nationalist thread, lest people mistake you for a HUMAN BEING.

You know, there's a saying that says if you're unsure where you stand on something, that's just a sign that you're actually thinking. ;)

I agree with Naughty Bits, don't worry so much about pigeonholing yourself into a label. If a particular term fits, great, but if it doesn't sit right, then don't worry about it. And if somebody asks, just tell them that you have your own opinion on each of the issues, and if they're interested let them know what you think. Because that's really the important part: what you think.

Sounds like you're adhering too closely to a label. In other words, you're sounding like a militant, and militants are always closed-minded people.
There's no such thing as being militantly open-minded.

But some of your ideas are sound, others border on socialist (big business is always bad?). You're headed there, but if that's your thing, so be it.
Just wear the clothes, don't let them wear you.

When I said " I support the military" I ment that I support the troops who are there putting there ass on the line. But I don't agree with where they are, they are putting there ass on the line for no reason.
