Conservative, Liberal, or Independent??

Question

and why?

i forgot to ask...what do you consider yourself or your family, Upper, Middle, or Lower class?

Answer 1

Conservative based, Libertarian overtones, with a slight hint of social liberalism in the finish...

Conservative because I believe we need a great military, wipe out most of welfare, gut the IRS and have flat taxes, eliminate property taxes and instill sales tax, and eliminate affirmative action. I don't believe in gay "marriage", and I am pro-life (continues below)

Libertarian, because I think if I am within the law, leave me my family, my money, my guns, and my home alone!

Liberal because I support civil unions (different than marriage!), and I cannot support banning abortions without something in place to support the family our government forced into this world unwanted.

Answer 2

Generally been a Conservative, but have voted independant. As a Canadian the hoopla over Trudeau in the late 60's wanting to change the direction of this country. The Liberals too heavy social programs and special interests have hurt the middle class.

Answer 3

Did you mean Conservative, Liberal, or Moderate?

I'm a moderate, because extremism in any form is usually unhealthy. President Eisenhower was once quoted as saying: "The middle of the road is the useful part. The extremes, both right and left, are in the gutters."

As for party, I'm an independent. I vote for what I feel is best, regardless of party. Besides, both sides are too corrupt to be trusted...especially the Republicans lately.

Answer 4

Independent, because I think that the DNC and GOP have become heavily-funded franchises that just plain don't do much anymore except throw money around and try to sound important, rather than really addressing our nations' problems. Both are sellouts, they've aligned themselves with the 'selling of america',
they take their instructions from large corporations that want this or that policy emplaced so they can expand their corporate influence, frankly I don't care for the idea of the country becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of X Corp....'x' meaning 'fill in the blanks'. Most people in the Olden Days who could afford to move out of company towns did so. I object to the same phenomenon taking hold nationwide in our country. People with enough money really don't give a crap about democracy, rule of law, and all that other purple-waves-of-grain-fed amber-mountains majesty stuff.
They want money, they want low taxes, and this administration has largely bent over and let em have their way. Bad Juju.

I feel that the Independents have a decent concept in focusing on constitutionality above all, retention of a uniquely american ideal as separate from that of the rest of the world, and purposefully so because there's always going to be The Next Time some other nation, or group of nations, decides they really don't care for america's independence.

The basic Independent philosophy is: Want strawberries? Better get busy...rake's in the garage...smaller government, lower taxes inherent thereto, getting rid of the national debt and the perpetual burden that that represents on all americans, all that jazz.

Our country was founded on the concept of independence,
it really does have some merit. You take care of yourself, I take care of myself, and if ya ain't got, go out, and GET. Don't wait in line for free money, don't do any of that. Get your hands dirty, get your butt in gear, and remember that the opportunity to PURSUE happiness is no guarantee of it, so dry your eyes, and stop that godawful sniveling. The beatings will continue, until morale improves...

Answer 5

Libertarian, it just makes sense not to have a huge government that just wastes my tax dollars, and I also don't believe the government should tell me how to live my life if I don't infringe on anyone else's. I come from a middle class family, but I myself am part of the lower class.

According to uncle osbert's quiz, I am a Rightish Libertarian. Just what I thought I was.

Answer 6

Socialist, because I believe in things like a Universal Healthcare, Universal Education, Housing for all, a fair living wage, not a pathetic minimum wage that makes the rich, richer and the poor even poorer, I would gladly give 50% of my income in Taxes in order to live in a society with these values, and I think most people would agree.

Answer 7

None of the above. My social opinions (on things like stem cell research and the like) but my conservative values are not Christian ones. My economic opinions are however, very left wing. I Find the concept of the stock market and the corporation as immoral. The seperation of ownership and management is one that laves many holes for criminals to hide in.
My biggest gripe is that the Republican Party has highjacked conservative views like mine to hide their aganda of militarism and anarcho-capitalism. I doubt they believe anything that they say they do.
I guess you would call me a Religious-Conservative-Socialist.
Anything but libertarian (My ego isn't that big and I think beyond my own nose)

Answer 8

a liberal conservative...meaning I vote conservative because I agree with them the most, but there are a few things that I agree with on the left wing.

Answer 9

Moderate Liberal .

Answer 10

Liberal. Because I care about people.
