American NSGers: Conservative or Liberal?

[Mavorpen]

Liberal I guess.

[Fellrike]

I've been a registered Republican since my eighteenth birthday, but I resent the hijacking of my party by social conservatives. I'm a strong federalist; if any state wants to allow, ban or restrict abortion or assisted suicide, decriminalize marijuana, permit same sex marriage, or impose stricter vehicle emissions standards than those mandated by Washington, it should be able to do so without Federal interference. I support a strong defense and an assertive foreign policy, and I favor our alliance with Israel. I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with seeing the well-to-do pay higher taxes, if we could be sure the money would be used to pay down the deficit and not wasted.

[Germanic Templars]

I'm neither but I am both.

Meaning, I take stances that would make be a liberal, but also a conservative.

[Episarta]

I'm somewhat of a laissez-faire capitalist. I believe that the market does far better if the government only regulates it on behalf of the people. So, regulate Wall Street and don't let another sub-prime mortgage crisis happen. But other than that, I want the government out of the market. That the principle of human nature will regulate much of the other problems that capitalism may pose.

However, socially:
- Rehabilitation instead of Welfare
- Pro-Death Penalty
- Legalize Marijuana
- Pro-Choice
- Personally dislike homosexuality. Politically and socially, I let them do their thing if they don't impede on my life
- I want TOTAL 100% Secularism. Like that will ever happen

So what am I? I think I'm a conservative and liberal Frankenstein Monster. I voted Liberal since liberal is synonymous to Democrat in America. And right now, Romney is the most evil person I've ever seen since Bush.

Holy crap! It's some sort of hybrid, conservative, liberal monster! Kill it! Kill it before it's ideas have a chance to spread!

But personally I am very liberal. Social conservatism pisses me off and seems so illogical to me. And when it comes to economics, I don't think I am quite as leftist as my signature might say. I mean, I do think the government has a duty to interfere with business if it is to protect the people and environment, but there is a line of common sense. The government doesn't have to control everything. I prefer a sort of mixed system when it comes to economies.

[New Acardia]

Conservative

[Esternial]

So if you chose liberal, do you mean liberal all the way?

Same question for the conservatives.

[Arumdaum]

I'm sure I'd be considered very very extremely liberal here.

[Fellrike]

I often get the impression that conservatives think liberals are credulous and ignorant, while liberals believe conservatives are cruel and evil. Probably it's more a case of some of the worst people on both sides giving the rest a bad name.

[Arkiasis]

I never understood why so many leftists go on NSG. I guess because Nation States lets you role-play a socialist nation that controls every aspect of its citizens lives in the name of being "progressive."

According to the age polls, many of the people here are teenagers. And teenagers and young adults of today are generally liberal.

[Nachfolgia]

right-leaning conservative

[Raumm]

a mixed bag really, but I would generally be called a leftist.

-pro-death penalty
-pro-2nd amendment
-pro-border wall
-pro-choice
-pro-social democratic economics
-pro-amnesty (after a background check)
-pro-gambling and prostitution
-pro-drug legalisation
-pro-environmental protection

[Danbershan]

-pro-border wall
-pro-choice
-pro-social democratic economics
-pro-amnesty (after a background check)
-pro-gambling and prostitution
-pro-drug legalisation
-pro-environmental protection

In terms of these things

anti-death penalty
anti-second amendment
anti-border wall, I suppose
pro-choice
pro-social democratic economics, but not entirely
pro-amnesty
pro-gambling, anti-prostitution, except under heavily-regulated laws
pro-drug legalisation
pro-environment

[North Calaveras]

it makes sense, i remeber i was a little liberal communist on NS, the i left and came back with differen't views

so, it really isn't a surprise

[Sonthaliya]

I am a liberal

[Sonthaliya]

Centrist. Economically right, socially left.

Perhaps you are better defined as a libertarian.

[Tekania]

Obviously as a proud military veteran, I am of course a liberal.

[Desperate Measures]

Hominidae.

[Tekania]

Read the sig. Respect it.

You know, I've done under-hull surveys of enemy battlegroups in what could potentially be a horrendously outnumbered situation where I could die a potential cold death assuming I'm left intact after all the high explosives that would get hurled at me..... but none of that is nearly as scary as the idea that people would vote for Bachmann.

[Ethel mermania]

I view myself as a right wing conservative of the barry goldwater mode. Most polls classify me as moderate because i believe in the EPA, and dont mind gay marriage . (shrug).

that said the poll should have a category for moderate. they may be an endangered species

[Bordurian]

Economically Liberal. Socially Conservative. What am I? In Canada, I'd vote NDP if I were 18.

[Gauntleted Fist]

For all you Americans here on NSG, are you a conservative or a liberal?

For the US I am generally quite liberal, though I would be considered moderately conservative in most other places.

[Norstal]

Centrist, but in the U.S I would be a liberal...

Come to think of it, anything not reactionary in the U.S would be liberal.

Well, just who do you propose then?

Someone who isn't insane?

So, Bachmann?
