    Just curious as to what the community's views are. Personally, I'm Conservative. What about you?
     
    I don't like labeling myself, but I lean more to the liberal side myself.
     
    I tend to be quite eclectic with my policies - I pick some from the right, some from the left, and have some that neither side would want. XD; So, I guess, independent. :P
     
    Conservative on economic policies, liberal on social policies. In other words, I'm a capitalist liberal (Libertarian Party) as opposed to the socialist-leaning liberals you usually see.
     
    Conservative. But I don't go all the way to the right. I consider myself a bit of a fiscal conservative, like Twocows. Pro-guns, pro-life, extremely tolerant, religious...
    So yeah, I'm conservative on most issues, especially fiscally, but there are a select few issues on which I consider myself "left-ish".     :3
     
    I'm more libertarian than anything, but I tend to be more moderate than liberal on social issues.

    In terms of foreign policy...let's just say that you probably don't want to vote me as president anytime soon or I'll end up bombing any country that owes us money. XD
     
    I'm a child of South Vietnam, so expect radical right-wing nutjob viewpoints coming from me ^_^

    Jokes aside, I'm conservative on most social, economic, and fiscal issues. I'm a tad more moderate on social issues than on others, but overall, plenty of conservatism reeks from my presence.
     
    I don't get involved in politics, though I probably should be more informed. Socially, I'm very liberal.

    I'm your regular European Socialist, my points of view are basically left-sided in all the subjects. And I find quite curious that here, in Spain, the Liberals are the supporters of the Right-conservative party ._.
     
    I'm a bit mixed, but I call myself a liberal because I feel very strongly about LGBT rights. I'm sick of all of the ridiculous unfounded hatred and people hiding their personal prejudices behind their religion to fight against it. I just feel like it's something that we really should be over already.

    I'm also strongly opposed to the death penalty, and don't agree with a lot of other things that conservatives tend to believe.

    The only thing that could make me conservative is my views on abortion. It's just such a complicated issue. =/
     
    I'm probably a conservative if that means opposing change.

    I REALLY don't want this kind of change that the government is proposing. I don't want my personal rights taken away.
     
    I've come to believe that there are plenty of people in the U.S. and around the world, both average citizens and people of influence, who would jump off a cliff if their political party leaders told them it was the 'right' thing to do.

    I was raised in a fairly liberal household, but the bickering, petty, sanctimonious, partisan circlejerk/name-calling war that the US political environment has become makes me sick to my stomach. Thus, I've decided to try and free myself of prejudice as best I can and think for myself, not how the media dictates a 'liberal' or 'republican' or 'socialist' or 'moderate' should think and feel.

    I refuse to toe the party line.

    OHEMGEE thank you so much!!! *Huggles*
    I just hate hateful debate. Dx
     
    'Bittygoat: Absolutely. Next to nothing constructive comes of it, and it suggests hidden agendas and poorly thought out arguments.

    And 2cows pretty much expressed my thought processes here. Conservative economic policies, liberal social policies.
     
    Essentially I'm independant. I don't claim loyalty to one party or another.

    Fiscally speaking, I'm probably more conservative. I don't like seeing taxes, I don't like seeing too much spending.
    Socially speaking, I'm leaning more towards the liberal. It just depends on the issue really.

    If religion is involved in any way, I immediately take the opposite side of the argument, against any religious outcries, 9 out of 10 times, the moral/religious issues are caused by people looking for Satan where he ISN'T. (Personally I feel the devil is in anything that stifles forward progress...)

    The problem with religious conservatives is that you can literally use their religion to turn them against something if you're a priest, or minister or rabbi or whatever, which I feel is a very wicked thing to do. Church is for praising God and learning His will, not for discussing politics in any way, shape, form or fashion. Essentially, let the people themselves decide on how they feel about an issue where it relates to religion. Even if they ask the priest about it, they shouldn't condemn it as right or wrong...they should simply challenge the query with a few soul searching questions, or the one obvious one. "Do you think it's wrong?"
     
    Independent. I have views on both sides of the spectrum, so I prefer to not label myself as one side and seem like a hypocrite.
