Thread: CONSERVATIVE/MODERATE/LIBERAL

Still doesn't matter, her body her choice. The Supreme Court of The United States agrees as well.

I'm a conservative. I'm pro freedom of speech (anti politically correct), Pro small government (I don't need a politician to tell me how to live, and I hate "for your own good" laws such as motorcycle helmets and seat belts), I'm anti socialism (socialism is not freedom), and I'm pro gun (our founding fathers gave us the 2nd amendment so we could protect our selves from the tyranny of big government). That about sums it up.

.......

Rather than defining myself with my "belief's" and what I believe in, I feel it easier, and clearer to tell my fellow open bladed shavers a few examples of what I don't believe in.
I DO NOT believe in the two party system. The difference between Republicans and Democrats is the same difference to me as Folger's and Maxwell House.
I don't believe in our Criminalization of Drugs.
I don't believe that X rays, a few stitches to sew up a cut, or a bottle of prescription pills, should cost patients thousands of dollars, let alone any money at all.
I don't believe in letting churches/religions run tax free.
I don't believe in giving aid to Illegal Immigrants within our borders.
I don't believe in building a "Wall" between here and Mexico.
I don't Believe in Joblessness or Homelessness.- I feel American citizens should be given these things if they can't find one or both.
I don't Believe That American companies should run outside our borders without being taxed heavily.
I don't believe in gun control.
I don't believe in legislation on Women's Uterus's.
Mostly I DO NOT believe in fitting into convenient boxes with well defined labels on them. As GERGS656 said: "I don't think I have attained a political identity yet. I'm not completely sure I want to." If anyone would like to connect the dots and define where I fall, feel free, but I'm not going to add up that kind of math. I'm still a student of my life and feelings. These opinions could change for me with time and experiences. Who Knows?
Thanks and All The Best.- Johnny

You Yanks and your narrow politics.

I guess I'm a progressive constitutionalist. But there wasn't a check box for that.

I am not a cheerleader for either political party, and I believe that partisan politics falls more in line with a spirit of competition between pompous loudmouths than it does with using public resources to best serve the public. That's a tragedy.

I think our government needs to be audited by an impartial third party (maybe some alien anthropoligists from Neptune) to determine whether we are actually following the constitution in our laws, or whether the elect are bending us all over and shoving their personal agendas where the sun don't shine. Elected officials who use public resources for their own personal gain should be fittedly punished for their crimes including penalties from community service (ie. picking up trash on the side of the highway) up to, and including treason.

I believe the abuse of power is absolutely rampant. I believe that GW Bush's entire administration had much to hide, and that he wasn't going to take the fall for any of it, which is why nearly everyone in his administration was either fired or quit. I don't trust that Obama's objective in sending 30k troops to Afghanistan is of pure motive. We'll see.

I believe that higher education should be an American citizen's right, not a privlege reserved for those who can afford it. I believe in the right to bear arms, but certain types of arms such as AK-47s should not be permissible unless you plan to hunt deer with it. Otherwise, why have it?

I believe that freedom should be exactly that. I believe in freedom to marry who you want. I do not believe that a cluster of cells without a CNS represents a human being.
I believe you should get tax breaks on your first 2 kids... after that, no breaks and no benefits for having additional kids. If you can't take care of them, they become wards of the state and you will be recieving an annual bill until you can take care of them, they are adopted or until they turn 18.
Our current system rewards people for being irresponsible. That needs to stop.

I think Rush Limbaugh is an idiot. I think GW Bush is a criminal. I think Barack Obama is a smooth-talking liar.

I've always been averse to labels that tell us we must think according to what we are called. The tendency to think of Liberal being synonymous with Democrat and Conservative with Republican disturbs me and yet, my observation is that there is in fact a high correspondence. I can't really classify myself in any of the categories in general. On some issues, I'm ultra-conservative and on others, a flaming liberal. If I had to choose, I fall more on the liberal side.

They're not the same? I guess I just voted incorrectly then.

What's the one where you want the government to act sensibly, rationally and intelligently? I'm that one.

More to it than that. First of all it's the people in government that do the acting. They may act perfectly sensible, rational and intelligent but have goals you disagree with.
