Am I Liberal or Conservative + what should i change for the better of all the people?

Cant we be more moderate

This is what I think

Abortion: Only In extreme circumstances such as rape, incest or health

Affirmative Action: Who cares, let people be chosen by who they are as people not because you need 2 more black people at your school

Animal Rights: People shouldn't get a life sentence for killing a dog. The Vick judge made a perfect decision

Economy: Government should be able to make manufacturing jobs or otherwise compete with private corporations

Campaign Finance: People shouldn't be able to fund themselves, records should be open

Censorship: dont like it

child support: Should be flat rate, women should not be able to make more money because they married a richer a$$hole

Church State: Separated

Civil Rights: all people should have the same rights. Women register for draft, gays serve openly in military and can marry, muslims can build their own place of worship in the old burlington coat factory building

Climate change: Action should be taken to prevent it

Crime: No Death Penalty, less offenses that send one to jail, more programs to help people get back in society without making more crime

DADT: All people should be able to express who they are in the military

Drugs: Make them illegal

Education: switch to metric system, neutral education with more funding

Oil and energy: move away from oil to cleaner, more efficent ways of energy

Firearms: they should not be able to be carried in public except by people who have been selected and trained as citizen protectors. There should be restrictions

Taxes: exponential taxing of people based on wealth. Get rid of the foreign taxation exemption clauses

Gay rights: Gays should be like any other people

forigen policy: US should not be worlds poliece force. we should be the better country with more class than to hate other countries

Health Care: Single Payer

Homeland Security: Us needs to quit being so hateable with our anti muslim tone

    You would probably be much happier living in Cuba or North Korea. On the other hand living in those workers paradises, you are required to work. Your job may be picking up b-b's in a room filled with cow chips but work is required and your job is assigned by the government. At least it is secure and you won't be fired. You might have stripes on your back if you don't work hard enough though

    Being moderate leads to liberal/democrat!! You really don't want to go there!!

    Will let's look at some of your points!

    Abortion - You have to put yourself in the babies place so, your mother age 15 was just raped. Two months later she finds out she pregnant with you!! She is all upset and aborts you!

    With that and that if your like the majority of us, your life could of been better but it doesn't suck and your happy with most of it!! Well forget all that your dead!! Never had the chance to be born!!

    Affirmative action - You have an I.Q. of 165 and just applied for a job with a starting salary of $110,000.00. Pedro with a I.Q. of 120 applies for the same job! You get a nice thank you but we're not interested in you at this time in the mail! In reality the job went to pedro because the law said it had to!! You can substitute pedro with tyrone, ying, nuhg or any other that fits!!

    Economy - The federal government has only one job and one job only!!!!! Being in business is not it!!!!!

    censorship - You have a 16 year old daughter who runs away with a 28 year old man that she met online, or a carnival, because some rapper rapped it's good for the honey to **** like a bunny. Enough said!! You get the rest of the picture!!!!!

    Civil rights - At one time there was a scare on aids (still is) from blood banks. The reason, gay's were selling blood tainted with the HIV virus!! But all is not lost on this one!! Women should be forced to register for the draft!! So should any and all who want citizenship!! This includes muslims, mexicans!!! No exceptions!!!!!!! One last thing and the most important of them, don't do the crime if you can't do the time!! Be RESPONSIBLE for yourselves!!

    I shall leave you now to ponder on what you are cause this is getting too long!!!!!!

    Although i dont agree with all of your points here, I commend the fact that you don't constrict yourself to either 'side.' Liberal/Conservative, Republican/Democrat are all words that just divide us. The two-party system that we have now is the one of the worst things that has evolved in America. It limits the amount of options voters legitimately have, and hides the true issues that we should be talking about. Specifically, lines between the rich and poor have more effect on the day to day life of the average american than gay rights or abortion does.

    "Liberal" and "conservative" are words with very limited operational meaning and are utterly vague, despite all the heated debates in mass media. They are useful only in their ability to describe nothing or to crudely divide all of humanity into two homogeneous categories-"liberal" or "conservative".

    Why ask for a label? This "conservative" and "liberal" labelling is largely useless anyway.

    Yes.

    I would classify you as an independent liberal.
