Mostly liberal, but it depends on the issue, mostly.

Slightly left.

I am a center left liberal, meaning I agree with some conservative views but am primarily liberal

Independent, because I'd rather not identify myself with the destructive two-party system.

Middle.

I don't know, anywhere between Centre-Left and Right

I'm conservative with my ammo (generally) but otherwise I couldn't really give less of a shit about things... You like dick? Ok, you prefer pussy? That's fine, You wish you could switch between the two? Alright... And so on so forth...

What's the difference?

You missed lots, and different peoples have different views, what we call Conservative you call Liberal

Some definitions would help people choose. I picked "conservative" and I will explain what that means to me, but others define it differently. To me, in an American context, "conservative" means conserving the Constitution and the spirit in which it was written - which was about minimal, weak, divided government that leaves people alone as much as possible. My views on any issue fit this mindset, though the "as much as possible" part introduces some gray areas. For example, I think the military should be a purely defensive force, used only if the United States is actually being invaded, or we otherwise face clear and present physical dangers. But that doesn't mean I would close all overseas military posts on day one, because that would be destabilizing at this point. I do not think there should be a federal income tax or corporate tax. "Well how would we pay for government??" The same way we did for our first 120 or so years. "But government is a lot bigger now!" Exactly. I think government MOSTLY does more harm than good, creates or hypes problems so it can step in and "solve" them, and left unchecked, ultimately grows into tyranny followed by collapse when the country can no longer afford its enormous central government. I think this is one of the typical reasons countries and civilizations fall.

Edited by car15: 11/26/2015 11:48:11 AMPersonally, I consider myself socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I'm very close to what you might call a "classical liberal." (Google it. It does [i]not[/i] mean the same thing as the word "liberal" does today.) However, I am [i]not[/i] a libertarian. People often assume I am, which bothers me because I'm not. I do believe in states' rights, but there needs to be a strong central government to hold everything in place. Classical liberalism values limited government, but also recognizes that it must be strong enough to secure and protect individual liberty. Libertarians believe that individual liberty exists without government intervention, but fails to account for the inevitable exploitation of individuals that occurs in unregulated societies.

It's not something I'm inclined to pick a side with. It seems a lot of people these days will base all of their political standing on which side their on and not by their instinctive moral or logical progression to peace and prosperity. Things I see on Facebook where people post links to sites like Youngconservatives. These sites are 100% under the impression that in order to be correct, you have to be 150% on that side. And I don't get why. Why do so many people flock to the either end of the political spectrum and avoid the middle ground?
-
My ideals align mostly with the Libertarian party.

Fascist. People need to be put down

Conservative socialist
