American NSGers: Conservative or Liberal?

[Danbershan]

For all you Americans here on NSG, are you a conservative or a liberal? If you define yourself as either, of course. I'm mostly interested in the Americans in this issue, as people aren't so much defined as liberal or conservative outside of the USA. I want to see what kind of people frequent Nation States, as I get the general idea that it's mostly a liberal community.

Although I'm not actually American, I'd definitely be defined as a liberal.

If you're not American, by all means weigh in on your opinions anyway.

[Ceannairceach]

I'm a bleeding-heart liberal.

[Sulamalik]

I'm a moderate social democrat up here in Canada, so I dunno, I guess I'd be considered a Nancy Pelosi-type Democrat in the States?

[Castille de Italia]

Read the sig. Respect it.

[Konzekwenzia]

They tend to be liberal, "liberal" (various shades of leftist) or libertarian, rather than conservative

[Milks Empire]

Neither.
As far as civil rights and liberties and social issues go, I'm quite libertarian.
On the economy, I'm a mix of democratic socialist and libertarian socialist.

[Lialoth]

Left-leaning libertarian who views being called a "conservative" as the gravest of insults.

[Blazedtown]

I am beyond conservative and liberal.

So the rest of us should do ... what? Fart in your general direction?

[Aquophia]

Centrist. Economically right, socially left.

[Sulamalik]

Forgive me, but so that means you don't like gay people do you? I mean if you support Bachmann you support her stance on homosexuality, right?

Go for it.

I'm just interested in the Americans because that's where the conservative/liberal divide is most prominent.

I think its a joke. Its Perry/Bachmann 2014. The next election is in 2016.

I would define myself as a moderate, with strong conservative leanings. But to counteract that, at least in the current political climate is my view that, every now and again, the Democrats have a good idea. At least from the outside, that seems to be a ex-communicable offense in the Republican Party. Both sides have good ideas. And Churchill got it right. "If you're not a liberal by 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by 40, you have no brain." I'm also a bit of a libertarian.

[Genivaria]

I'd be considered a Far Leftist in the US.

Please ignore me and my ignorance. I'll be going now.

[Uraeli]

I would define myself as a socialist libertarian realistically, while thinking Utopian a communist.

[Ordo Drakul]

Reactionary

[Astrolinium]

I'm a liberal of some sort. I generally support left wing economics, moderately libertarian social policies, and patriotism/nationalism to an extent. Beyond that, I don't really know - my views are somewhat in flux currently.

[Byronmandy]

I'm one of the last of a dying breed: a "New England" Republican. You can hardly call me a conservative, but its definately the closest thing.

For those of you that don't know what the difference is between regular Republicans and New England (aka "Moderate") Republicans, its that we're quite a bit more moderate, even slightly liberal when it comes to social issues, but steadfast conservatives on economic and "role-of-government" issues. We tend to be very patriotic, with strong foreign policies. Also, we usually side with some democrats on stuff like campiagn finance reform and division between chruch and state, etc.

I would much rather call myself a Republican (In the style of T. Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge (JR & SR), Eisenhower, McCain, G.H.W. Bush, etc.), but I guess Conservative will do.

[Terruana]

I don't identify with any political parties, or movements.
I suppose a lot of my opinions are liberal, but I also have some conservative tendancies. I prefer to consider issues and situations etc on a case by case basis, instead of viewing them all through a tinted lense.

Though I think the pressure to identify as one or the other is a major flaw in the system.

Though I'm not American, and I'm sort of trying to convert lab/lib/con into american terms, which may or may not have mixed up my points.

[Castille de Italia]

Yes, I'm not too thrilled about homsexuality...

[The Jahistic Unified Republic]

Conservative.

[The Babbage Islands]

I'm a right-libertarian, not fitting neatly into the conservative/liberal paradigm as used in the US. Classical liberal in the 19th-century sense is close. I vote Republican far more often than Democrat because I tend to vote for the least-statist alternatives on offer locally, and I don't hesitate to blank my ballot for one or several offices when the choices are too odious.

[Castille de Italia]

No, it's not a joke. I just wasn't thinking at the moment I guess and put 2014...
