I'm not really sure what I'm considered in the political realm! I'll give you some insight as to my views and you tell me which way I'm leaning!!!

For:

Making Marijuana Legal
Capital Punishment
War On Terror
Pro Choice

Against:

Race Pimps (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, David Duke, etc...)
Political Correctness (Kissing Ass to Avoid Hurting Feelings)
Censorship

This list probably isn't enough to go by so, if you can present me with issues that I didn't address, by all means post em' and I'll let ya' know where I stand!

Well you certainly have ideals from both sides.

In general...were it not for the capitol punishment and war on terror stuff, I might classify you as libertarian. As is, the only descriptor I can think of is independent. Maybe pragmatist, depending on your reasons.

Well, this won't score me any points or make me any friends but, I'm inclined to agree with Sean Hannity & Rush Limbaugh over Al Franken & James Carville!!! However, this does not mean that I think "Rush Is Right!" all the time! He gets just as annoying as the rest of the pro-party mouthpieces!!!

So...Moderate Republican? Is that a safe assumption?

I could go with Independent, I guess!!!

You are an American voter: the maneuverable mass that has no clear ideology and gets easily emotional about stuff they haven't thought through. From investigating your options, I can see that you assume things to relate to principles that you're not going to compromise on, but all that is doing is adding Americana to political debates. I can see you want to avoid collectivism by far, because they ,must've told you in school that there's no free lunch and other such cliches.

You are... insane! :p

Actually, I suspect that you can be best classified as a conservative libertarian. The Political Compass quiz would do a much better job of sorting out the details... shame I forgot the link...

Generally speaking, you are very Libertarian from the sounds of it. You dislike gov't intervention in general, and would rather them butt out.

Wouldn't libertarian-liberal* have sufficed? He seems to be a minarchist.

*Liberal in the classic, economic sense.

You're a social libertarian with a neo-conservative (ie. "realist") foreign outlook. Your economic views haven't been presented.

Hmmm...economic views, huh?


Against:

Big Business - I think the fact that Exxon, Wal-Mart, & Halliburton is basically running this country is bullshit!

Social Welfare/Government Assistance- With the exception of the very few individuals who are truly unable to work, hand-outs should not be given! Those who are able but choose just to mooch shouldn't be given shit!!!

Does that help a little?

Not at all, as you just stated one left view and one right view, which would balance each other out.

Well you're definitely left-wing of some sort...not too sure how libertarian you are though.
