Political Beliefs

[Swordfish941]

I'm probbaly only the only person on this forum who wants to share thier political beliefs. So here I go:

My whole family votes democratic (please don't judge us). My grandfather considers himself to be a Pro-life Democrat with a few Republican views. I also consider myself to be one. My english teacher thinks of me as a conservative because I use logic in my answers. I have equal number of Conservative and Liberal views (like I don't support abortion or gun control, I hate the treatment of immagrants and I want to help out the homeless). I dislike bigotry, predjudices and racism because I think it's whats destroying American values. I support the Obama adminastration and if anyone says that the Obama Adminastration is getting no where, I'll hit them with a chair because it'shis first year.

This will not end well. I'm sure of it. It's going to end up with me and MoviePropMaster arguing with eachother. It's going let me tell ya.

I support Universal Healthcare.

Just watch the responses. Just watch.

Im fairly conservative, but not religous right or completely biased. Im not aainst gay marraie, but am against abortion. Im pro gun, and the only one in my family to own one. Im aainst universal healthcare, especially with all the special interest earmarks and the fact the government run healthcare (which the "public option" will effectively make it) would be rediculously expensive and ineffecient. I pay 57 bucks a month for healthcare, it aint that bad. How about car insurance reform? Thats my worst bill. Im definitely pro military (tahts why I enlisted.) Against taxes and spending. I think the overnment wants to be involved in too much and needs to let states have more role, as each state knows more about local issues.

Now, this will be my only post, politics gets ugly, and I prefer to fight in the caliber wars.

I'll let this topic exist as long as we avoid debating our beliefs too harshly and there's nothing too polarizing.

As for me: Atheist, pro-capitalism, socially liberal, anti-PCness, anti-huge bureaucracy (though I'm probably a hypocrite on the last one, since I'm essentially trying to become a bureaucrat). On foreign policy, I'm fairly conservative, but I think of myself as a realist conservative (as opposed to "neo"-conservative).

I'm not sure what "pro-military" means, because I work with a lot of people who seem to think differently on that definition. Right now, there's a pretty big debate in my field over whether the U.S. military has shifted too much towards counterinsurgency strategy while undermining its capabilities as a conventional force. Each side accuses the other of being "anti"-military.

Oh, yeah, and I'm generally against excessive immigration, though my reasoning has nothing to do with race, just ideas.

While I don't speak for MPM, I'm pretty sure he doesn't think THAT much about you. But saying stuff like this, is practically begging him to fight you. Either it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, or it suggests you actually want a fight. So lay off on it.

Excessive immigration? What would excessive immigration be like?

[MT2008]

I really would rather not have any actual debates on these matters. That is where I stand. End of story.

[AdAstra2009]

I'm on the right on most everything.

There essentially isn't one single thing on the left that I agree with.
