Can anybody help me figure out which political party my beliefs would suit best?
I've always had trouble pinpointing which party fits me best. Can anybody else help at least point me in the right direction?
-I'm for 100% equality of race, gender, sexual preference, etc.
-Although I'm an atheist, I believe that people should be permitted to follow whatever religion they desire as long as it is not harmful to others.
-I feel that No Child Left Behind is destroying the public school system and that tests are NOT the proper way to judge a student's understanding of a topic; essays and presentations are.
-University costs are way too expensive.
-Large corporations do not deserve enormous tax breaks. The lower and middle classes do.
-I do everything I can to minimize my purchases of items most likely made by children in foreign sweatshops.
-Free speech is one of the most important things anybody could hope for.
-Censorship is wrong. 100% wrong.
-MLK, Ghandi and Nelson Mandela were some of the greatest revolutionaries ever.
-War is a disgusting output of the human race. People simply need to learn acceptance and we would no longer have genocide, murder and destruction.
-There is no need to buy a $30 tshirt at a store like American Eagle when you can get a $3 tshirt at a thrift store.
-History, languages and social studies are equally as important as math and science.
-The portrayal of teenage girls in the media can make young girls think that they need designer clothes and a boyfriend to be happy. Which is bad.
-The government should be putting more effort into finding alternative energy sources.
-Although I personally wouldn't have an abortion, the right to choose should be there for cases such as abused 12 year old girl who got raped and pregnant.
-Polygamy, pornography, etc. should be legal as long as both parties are consenting.
Can anybody help which political party I'd associate best with? I know it's left-winged, but I'm not quite sure what it would be.
I'm looking for something more specific than just "Democrat". Something like Libertarian, Green, Socialist, Constitution, etc.

That's very left wing. I don't know if there is a specific party for you. In America you have very few choices. All I can really say is that it would be really dumb for you to vote republican (a party that is against most of the things you are for). I agree with everything you said, I vote democrat just so republicans won't win mostly, though democrats don't agree with all of that either.
Technically I am a socialist, if that helps.

First, a comment about the university being too expensive: You are guaranteed a public education through high school. The cost of the University education is set by the institution, some of which are private and can charge what they charge, some of which are State and the State decides. Your pursuit of higher education is a choice, not a right and this is something that shouldn't even be politicized. No one should be forced through their taxes to pay for your university on the federal level or even the state one. Many people opt out of university and opt for a trade. Why should the the brotherhood of electrical workers pay for your Liberal Arts degree? Student loans and grants are available for those who can't pay. Work study is also an option.
As for political party, you sound like a typical middle of the road but some of the points you make aren't political, just personal preference. You have some beliefs that are guaranteed by the Constitution and no one can touch them ie, your right to free speech. Alternative energy is a Bi-partisan issue and all parties, DNC, RNC and third party have discussed it. The portrayal of teenage girls in media is part of the first amendment privilege and is protected as it is free speech so you are inconsistent in being for free speech and against censorship but then want to to censor the media.
What is taught in school is a State issue, not a federal one.
Whether people buy at American Eagle or a thrift store really isn't any ones business and Democrats, Republicans and Communists buy whereever they want. THa'ts called Freedom.
No one likes War and in this century, the Democrats have had their hand in more than Republicans" WWI, WWII, Vietnam.. Agreed people should be tolerant but no politician is going to change human nature and sometimes, we're gonna have to fight. We just have to make sure the reasons for the fight are sound.
Some of your ideas are Libertarian. Some are Communist. Some are bipartisan. Some are Democrat...Some are RNC.
You're an independent.

You're what I call "New America". You believe in what you want to believe and you shouldn't be labeled. I am registered an an independent. Depending on the issues at hand and who's running for office, I pick the best person for the job.
I can proudly say.... NO I did not vote for Bush.. Either time..

You're mixed. There is a test you can take online, so look up "political+party+test" to find it.
Sounds like you're rather a Ron Paul Republican - which is a libertarian leaning republican.
Look up the Campaign for Liberty.

I would ask you what country you are from because in America, there's about one choice, which is Democrats. You could vote Green or whatever else but those parties never get elected.

Create your own party. Most of your personal choices and opinions are not issues that can be supported by government, or any of the present parties.

very simply put you choose which suits you best in this statement:
Give a man a fish you feed him for a day teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. a liberal wants to supply and control how much fish you can have when you can have them and how you have to ccok them a conservative says "do what you want with your fish"
you can take tests at the sites below also
