These are some of my views on current events, so where do you think i stand on the spectrum of politcal thought??
IMMIGRATION: Support guest worker program, restructuring of the border patrol to oust corruption, no amnesty, fines for those that are already here, increased jail time for repeat offenders, strict enforcement against business owners.
GUN CONTROL: No automatics, no silencers, occasional, madatory psycheatric evals for all gun owners.
ABORTION: Keep it legal
GAY MARRAIGE: call it something else, let em raise kids, but tax them much more
IRAQ WAR: doens't benefit me, only corporate contrators
DEATH PENALTY: keep it
VOTING MACHINES: where's the paper trail?
WOMAN PRESIDENT: it would be nice
WAR ON DRUGS - never will be won, needs government regulation, high taxation, and strict penalites for any crime committed while under the influence
DOMESTIC SPYING: it is needed
ELECTORAL COLLEGE: get rid it
ETHANOL 85: more please

To clarify: A married couple pays less in taxes than a non-married one. By providing a tax break to gay marriages is not fair to the man and woman nor to the morality of our nation. So, even though homosexuals should be allowed to marry, they should also be categorized as single for tax reasons. It is a privlidge to have a country allow gays to marry, so they must pay for such a privledge. Plus, many will get married to abuse the tax break that striaght marriages are entitled too, for originally the break is to allow child support more feasible. Also, gays should be allowed to adopt, but NOT get child tax credits or exemptions. By formulating an entirely new name and entitiy for gay marriage, and not calling is a marraige at all, this will allow law makers to make these amendments to the tax codes.

Neither. I would say you are pretty balanced in your opinions. This puts you in the largest percentile in this country. They are known as moderates. Reasonable people understand that lines can be crossed and not every issue is black and white. I don't agree with all your points, but I do respect the fact that you have opinions and express them reasonably. All I can say is always learn the facts and keep thinking critically, it's good for the soul.

It sure sounds like you do not like gun owners much. Can you even name one American who has ever used his/her legally owned machine gun or silencer to commit a violent crime in the last 70 years? I think not. So what are your reasons for banning these things? Because they could be used by criminals? Ban cars next?

You seem to lean left on most things, but domestic spying and taxing gays is so far right it's scary. But you are entitled to your opinion which I believe in, left or right.

A Liberal, non-Republican, and good for you. I don't understand the taxing of gay couples though - what is your reasoning for that?
2006-10-31 14:31:06 · answer #6 · answered by Believe in Possibilities 4 · 1⤊ 0⤋
you are more of a liberal, although some of your views are considered conservative
liberal:guncontrol,abortion,gaymarriage,war,votemachines,womanpresident
conservative on the rest
its a close split as some of the issues weigh heavier than others

You're sounding like a moderate democrat. You aren't too far out in left field.

you are a liberal in my mind. I have no problem with any of your view excepting:( ABORTION: Keep it legal) on this you make me SICK! 3500 babies are killed every day by ABORTION killed they are dead never had a chance
and (GUN CONTROL) I am pro-choice on guns if you want one you can have one any type gun control laws only serve one purpose to take guns away from law abiding citizens, because criminals are law breakers who have no intention of giving up their guns
