Ok..define me.

Pro Choice.

Pro Gun.

Pro Environment (within reason)

Want less Government but better regulation of giant Corps.

Less Taxes.

Serious funding to create new fuels.

More drilling for oil in the US while we work on a viable new CHEAP fuel.

An honest breakaway from lobbyists and special intrests groups. (it's bullshit)

Stricter borders, WAY stricter immigration laws, and less tolerance for illegals. A LOT less.

Pot legalization, and taxes for it.

A HUGE cut to Welfare programs, and a review of people on it for 5 years or more. (fuck welfare moms, stop having shitty kids, and get a job bitch.)



Ok...there's some. What am I? I have no idea.

I would say you have moderate republican views and strong libertarian views

I don't know, are you looking for a label?

I think our government should raise taxes and allocate 1 trillion a year to pay off our federal debt and quit running at a deficit

I think we should downsize our military by like 40%

I think we should require the president to have a declaration of war to send anymore then 2,500 military personnel anywhere

Pro death penalty

Pro legalization, regulation, and taxation of all drugs

Pro abortion

For big government against colossal government

Thinks we should nationalize energy (we won't go green until it is economically competitive with nonrenewables and we definitely have the technology just need a relatively large initial investment)

Thinks we should have gold or silver backed currency

For progressive taxing

Thinks we should have legislated return of manufacturing jobs from overseas

Thinks we should defend our border and control the number of immigrants coming in for example there are times when unskilled or low skilled jobs are needed like when the US first got involved in WW2 but i think we should now close our border so we can lower unemployment and actually afford to help the low income americans

I think we should enact a policy where the government only gives you welfare/assistance for your FIRST kid for any others you get nothing

pro second amendment rights

Rourke, you should just register as unaffiliated or whatever they call it. That's the best pick for both you and seesaw, I think. While I share a lot of your views, I somewhat like what dems generally do when in office (some exceptions, obviously) a lot more than what republicans do, so I'll probably register dem. Might go independent just so that anybody who wants to take offense at it will pass over me, though. I imagine that I'll get in enough trouble as-is.

I would like to drop down my own list of issues. Maybe OP should change the rules of the thread :) this way making it last longer.

Anyways here I go.

I am against any war that is not imminent danger to the nation. No preemptive war, no entanglements. No "peace" missions.

Instead I would like to see us growing trade relations with every nation in the world.

Return to proper federal government. Federal government only for military, diplomacy and settling disputes between states. This means getting rid of FDA, dept of education, IRS and etc.

Anti illegal immigration. I don't want to kick them out or anything that is too much trouble and resources. Simply deny them any benefits that they stand to gain. No birth right citizenship. That crosses out a whole hosts of benefits their babies qualify for. No treatment in hospitals. Immediate arrest before treatment and deportation to a Mexican hospital.

Basic welfare. Like homeless shelters, orphanages, community clinics. Set up by individual states.

Legalize all drugs.

No progressive tax.

Competing currencies.

Ending regulation of economy.

Returning environmental disputes under the jurisdiction of courts.

State sponsored programs for contraception. Abortion is legal but not sponsored by federal tax dollars. States can individually decide.

National infrastructure to be handled by the states.

REALLY contradictory. To the point where you'd be counter-productive.

Pro Death. I've transcended pro life and pro choice. I support the killing of fetuses.

I support giving 1 free handgun to every child that is capable of spelling their name.

I support a 97% tax on the poor, and a .5% tax on the rich. After all, this will mean money would be streaming into the economy, causing the poor to become rich.

I support the legalization of all drugs. If I want to take cyanide for shits and giggles, I ought to be able to do it.

I support seatbelt laws, but on every type of seat. I've come very close to slipping out of chairs, and there may be a slight risk of me dieing, so I'm not willing to risk it.

I believe in the combination of church and state, but the national religion being the Cult of Mithra. What would be cooler than instead of "Under god, indivisible" we instead bathe ourselves in cow's blood everyday?

I support eating the homeless: this solves two problems. One, hunger, two homelessness.
