Help: What am i classified politically?

Ive been called many things, and I just want to know what you guys would “classify” me as. Such as a (liberal, conservative, socialist, communist, right wing rep. blah blah blah). Ive been called un-American sometimes too. Mostly ive been called an Elitest.

Ive been behind Obama since day one, but latley ive turned against him with his “redistribute the wealth” comment he made in Berlin.

Here are some of my views, ill make them short and to the point. All of my views are very well thought out, and ill just sum them up.

  1. Abortion is a touchy subject. If a woman gets raped, does she have the right to an abortion? I believe if your old enough to have sex, your old enough to take responsibility for your actions, and take care of the baby. If you get raped though, that should be an exception.

  2. NAFTA. Do not deal with Communist countries that do not share our ideas. If China, and others, do not want to have regulations on pollution or human rights, we should tax the hell out of their goods they bring over to the US. This will give a better incentive for jobs to stay in the US.

  3. Gun Control is a JOKE. NEVER SHOULD HAPPEN!!!

4.Illegal Immigration.- Stop giving them American rights as soon as they have a child. Kick their butt out of this country. We need to build a fence around our southern border and shoot all people crossing illegally. Leave the bodies where they drop, so that other immigrants have to climb over bodies if they want to try to get into the US. If you want to get into the US, then you can do it LEGALLY, and I have no problem with that.

5. The governments job is not to spend money!!! Things like wellfare and other programs like that are a complete joke!!! The governent just needs to hide under a blanket when it comes to spending money, and let individuals do what they want with their money. Taxes are not a good thing. The government bailing out banks is a JOKE!

  1. Nobody has the right to tell me whether or not I can buy stocks in other countries, IF, they abide by the same envioremental rules and human right laws that the U.S has. If they dont, they we shouldnt even be talking with those evil bastards!(China).

[b]This is something my family has almost kicked me out of the house for saying, and I feel strongly about this.

If somebody told me I have 50,000 dollars, and I can either invest (buy/sell stocks)in a morally sound company in America, and bring home a 10% return on my investment. OR, I can invest that 50,000 in a company in China and bring home a 30% return on my investment, you can BET im putting all my money into China. My family disagrees, and calls me UnAmerican, and that they would fear meeting God if they were me because id’e be investing in a company that cares NOTHING about their workers.[/b]

  1. Socalizing health care is a joke to me. Nobody has the right to take my money and pay for somebody else being sick. If I dont want health care, i should have to have it, and I shouldnt have to pick up the fee for somebody else who wants it.

  2. Bush has been a complete JOKE, as almost all other politicians have been, especially when it comes to being financially responsible.

9. I DO NOT believe in taking money from the rich and giving to the poor. There is a reason why they are poor. Do not tax the rich and give their money away. The rich need to keep their money and they can do what ever the HELL they want with it. I have compassion for some of the poor, but not near enough to take away from the successful people.

If theres anything I left out, please tell me. I would like to know what I should “classify” myself in the political world. Ive probably summarized my views so much, that they probably look non thought out, but they are.

Congratulations, you’re a conservative! (that is not the same as being a Republican) You’re now ready to receive the “Evil Conservative” T-shirt and secret handshake! Unfortunately, as a conservative, you don’t have a candidate in this election - except maybe Bob Barr (and I don’t really know about him yet).

What does being conservative even mean?

I’d be labelled as a conservative as well, but I hate adhering to long standing traditions and don’t believe in Religion.

I’m a conservative liberal.

Don’t label yourself. Political parties have an agenda and cater to their constituencies regardless of the morality of the topic or it’s effect on the nation. You just have an opinion on a topic.

What does being conservative even mean?

Being a conservative means that you believe in individual responsibility - that individuals can better manage their time and money than the goverment. Being a conservative means that you want the government to provide ESSENTIAL services (such as national defense) and beyond that you want the government to simply GET THE HECK OUT OF YOUR WAY! Being a conservative means that you want judges to interpret the law and not make laws from the bench. Being a conservative means that you believe in the constitution and that efforts to subvert it are unacceptable. Being a conservative means that you understand that a father and mother are people and that it DOES NOT take a socialist village to raise a child!!! Being a conservative means that you believe in capitalism, not socialism! Conservatives can take care of themselves and don’t want the government to hold their hand!

I could go on and on, but that’s a start.

You sir, have just said exactly how I feel. Thank you.

This must be why I do not like either candidate in the race. Obama seems like a Communist, and Mccain seems like a Liberal. Seems like were taking a step back either way.

A little off topic. How do you feel about Glenn Beck(he has his own TV show). My family HATES him because he looks down on alot of “deadbeats”. I on the other hand, LOVE HIM. Im just wondering…

Politics are a pass time that keeps us preoccupied from the things that actually matter. It keeps us thinking about our team versus your team. Since you asked the question you obviously think so you must be a liberal (conservitives don’t think…at least not in the human since of the word). But this is how I see the issues you bring up:

Abortion - Abortion is an unmarried woman’s economic issue. It is the same issue as child support. Married people don’t have abortions, if they get pregnant they just have the child. Unmarried women who don’t make enough money to raise the child have abortions. The solution is to live life in the order intended. go to school graduate, get a job, get married and then have kids. That will fix the abortion problem.

NAFTA - The people that control the world have decided that we will have one economy if possible. When Bill Clinton was running for his first term, Bush #1 thought NAFTA was the best thing in the world and Clinton said NAFTA was the worst thing in the world. As soon as Clinton was elected the first thing he did was push for NAFTA. They brought him the “binder” and he joined in. It is out of our control it WILL happen.

Gun Control - The government makes more money when things are illegal. The jail industry and justifying budgets for squad cars etc is based on the amout of crime. The people that run governments (especally local governments) don’t understand that when guns are made illegal only criminals will have guns.

Illegal Immigration - There is no such thing as illegal immigration. There are illegal aliens here. You see a person will immigrate to become a citizen of that country. I have no idea what these illeglas are here for. They sure are not trying to become American. Just look at their cars. They have every flag in the hemosphere on them except the stars and stripes. But I sure like paying $1,000 to paint a house instead of $2,500.

The governments job is not to spend money - Were you sleep during your civics class. That is all the government does. When they talk about a tax and spend liberal. That is just a wedge statment. We have tax and spend conservatives, socialists, etc… The government doesn’t have any money. All the money is ours, so the government has to tax us and spend our money to benefit us. That is why I pay taxes and they use my money to fix the street in front of your house. If we didn’t have taxes we would all be speaking Russian in polluted cities with pot holes in the roads.

Nobody has the right to tell me whether or not I can buy stocks in other countries - We have proven that we will act in our short term best interst. Look at Wal-Mart. We go there every day just like the crack head gets his rock every day although it is killing him. Wall-Mart makes its money and drives jobs overseas but we still have to have it. You can buy stocks in China that is the American way (Crack Head). We don’t have to save every penny. The Bible says “don’t glean the field” We need to spend money that helps sometime even if it is not the cheapest every time.

Socalizing health care - We should have the best health care that money can buy. You know that if you don’t give health care to the poor kid that sits next to your daughter when she is in the 3rd grade and that kid gets measels…guess what now your little darling will get measles too. The Bible says that the poor will always be with us. I guess in a world with no socialized health care we need to make sure we are all rich enough to never come in contact with the desease ridden poor people (that would include our tenants and employees also).

Bush has been a complete JOKE - Bush’s job is not financial it is security. He has done a GREAT job of that. When was the last time we were attacked?

I DO NOT believe in taking money from the rich and giving to the poor - Actually we are taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich…when your tenants pay you your rent every month. When you flip a house to a family. The taxes we pay are irrevelant. You have never heard of a person taxed out of wealth. But everybody has to pay to play. Our taxes are what we pay to keep the villagers from storming our castles with pichforks and torches.
