I'll start. I'm an American and I think I live in the best country in the world.
I'm a Republican with a liberal stance on social issues, but a strong conservative stance on economic, military, and foreign policy issues. I'm pro-Israel and pro-gun. I am against Obamacare and most other federal programs. FEMA would be alright if it worked, but it doesn't, and I'm from New Orleans so I know exactly how incompetent they are. Obama sucks. (To be fair, Bush sucked too, but Obama is worse.)
I wouldn't call myself a libertarian, but I do believe in individual rights and small government. My left-leaning social politics are influenced by those principles. People should be allowed to do what they like as long as they're not hurting anyone else. Smoke pot. Get married if you're gay. Who cares? In fact, my only truly conservative social stance is that I'm pro-life, which is influenced by my belief that a fetus counts as a human being.
I am a Christian, but I believe strongly in separation of church and state. I [i]do not[/i] want the law to be dictated by anyone's religious beliefs, not even my own.
I believe in our Constitution. I believe in justice, not "fairness". I support legal immigration, but not illegal aliens.
I believe in business, but I am anti-corporation. I think the federal government should encourage small business rather than feeding into the hands of their corporate overlords.
I believe in the War on Terror, but I think it has been poorly executed. We didn't need to invade Iraq. We've spent far too much time in Afghanistan.
That's pretty much it.
You?

I look at our economic structures through a Marxist lense. Capitalism and currency give everything a value , including an individual and their time. Little is based on well being and everything is based off of competition to obtain profit. This limits the time for an individual to explore their own consciousness destroys the planet through consumerism and materialism. On social issues I am progressive.
