I like to call myself a liberal but you decided.
I'm Pro States Rights (exceptions arise: like North Dakota's law making common law marriage a felony)
I'm Pro Gun
I lean Pro Choice but and largely undecided because of the complexity of the issue.
I'm for the smallest government that meets the common good and for this reason, I'm for the lowest tax that allows the government to preform its functions but not more. I am not for unneeded government programs.
I'm deadly against government interference in personal affairs.
I'm an isolationist, but not an extremist. That is I don't oppose FAIR TRADE. I'm not for exploiting people for their resources or running around the world with our military telling people this is how it's done.
I'm pro labor, pro union and I vote Dem historically for this reason but lately have had a plethora of reasons not to vote republican.
I love the libertarian mindset right up to the point that it fails to address the American Metropolis. (Fact: It's where most Americans reside, scuffing off this fact as irrelevant will do more harm than good to the country folk, if the cities fall apart, contrary to popular kin beliefs, country boy may survive, but they will hardly thrive.)
I'm extremely pro border fence and anti illegal immigration, but pro legal immigration.
I'm a strict constitutionalist and do not believe in bizare interpretations twisting the words of the constitution.
I'm a capitalist but not a neoliberal by any means. I believe in capitalism policed by the people. Right now I do not believe we have that as the corporations have inserted direct control into government overriding the will of the people in area after area. more and more we have a government by the corporation, for the corporation which has led to a corporate wild west. Global corporate lawlessness. I'm capitalist but believe ethics of the people must guard/check the corporate power. I also do not have a problem with some socialism but cannot see America as a socialist country so just in areas where it works to meet the common good and dire need from an overwhelming public need, but not where is it not truly needed. I do not have a problem with other countries becoming socialist as it no doubt fits the order of some country's needs much more than it would in America. And I do not believe, again, in telling other countries how it should be done. Sovereignty is Sacred.
Yes, I'm pro-chavez. That has a lot to do with me being an isolationist and Chavez asserting control for Venezuelan sovereignty in essence putting a fight up to the Globalist march to dominate every people.
So I call myself liberal, but others might see me differently... I have no problem being considered liberal, it's my open minded behaviour that's allowed me to adopt right wing and left wing aspects of my political leanings.
