    It all comes done to a world-view orientation.

    Pick one:

    1. The U.S. and it's founding priciples are a bedrock of govn't that can be beneificial to all on this earth.

    2. The U.S. and it's founding priciples are a starting point to enable all citizens to benefit, with benevolent means to make things 'fair' for the less fortunate and needy.

    I am a libertarian because I love liberty, see the world for what it is, and have no desire to run other people's lives. I am a Republican because of the two political parties that actually matter, the Republican Party is more respectful of liberty and the truth.

    I'm none of the above simply because as an intelligent individual I understand how futile and irresponsible it is to align myself with sheep. I would much rather continue to think for myself.

    Crazy as it might sound ,, I believe that if you are taking and spending other people's money that you should do it responsibly.

    I also believe that the federal government should be involved as little as possible rather than in every aspect of people's daily lives.

    Source(s): Conservative.

    republican because eventually you run out of other people's money to give to lazy people and nobody wants to work

  • At this time I don't know why anyone would want to be any of those.
