I am a social conservative but I agree with Rockerfeller Republicans on just about everything except social issues.

Alas, another of my kind!

I guess I could be said to have some neo-conservative leanings.

[Atelia]

It is funny really, generally speaking I lean center-right with an emphasis on the center. However, the right generally wants absolutely nothing to do with me considering I'm homosexual. That and I think the government should legalize and tax all recreational drugs, but the homosexual part usually shuts me out before I can even get to that bit.

Well as a traditionalist, Homosexuality is kind of a face for the specter that is the Liberal Weltanschauung (alongside feminism). Legal drugs are also kind of an aspect of the worse possible situation.

We can always have a population exchange just like in the 1920's. The Turks go back to their Central Asian homeland and the Greeks take back their old territory.

This entire site is just fucking gold.

Historical Justice in taking back our capital and our other coast? Thats no fringe thought, thats the yearning of every righteous "Greek" man's soul.

I'm always skeptical of the term "leanings" in politics. It basically means "I am this, but I don't want to outright proclaim it." Well, that's generally the case, I've seen plenty of exceptions.

For instance, the common neo conservative consensus today is that we should put "boots on the ground" in Iraq and Syria. Would you agree with that?

Saying "I am this" comes with the implication of agreeing with all or most of the policies associated with those categories. I feel very tied down by strict labels and prefer to operate on an issue by issue basis.

Iraq, no. Syria, yes.

Welcome to the Wild World of Moderates which is typically twenty percent of the people who actually show up to vote, and a fools gold mine that liberal campaign managers lead their Republican employers into so as to insure base alienation and failure at the polls.

"Leaning" a certain way means that you have sympathies to that side but aren't a member of it. Centrism FTW.

What prevents you from going full on neo-conservative instead of just having leanings?

[The Hobbesian Metaphysician]

So I see theocrat in the poll, and so are there any serious theocrats in here, and why exactly?

[Kauthar]

there's probably a few dominionists, islamic fundamentalists, zionists etc. as 4% of the voters are theocrats after all.

no one would take you seriously outside of southern america

I don't think you can say you favor gay marriage and then say you obviously favor preserving tradition.

Democrats are economic centrists with progressive tendencies on social issues.

Ugh.



Progressive.

You mean progressing the wrong way.

progress towards the destruction of western values and culture

progress towards the destruction of western values and culture

Considering libertarianism rejects civic virtue (in fact, rejection of civic virtue is literally the only thing that distinguishes libertarianism from extreme liberalism), a fundamental cornerstone of Western values and culture, I don't think it's your place to complain.

Western Christianity is compatible with theocracy, it would mean rule by the Pope.

i don't think most people in the anglosphere, especially the ones likely to want a theocracy, are exactly down with the pope

Maybe hyperbolist should be an option on the poll.

Libertarianism does not reject civic virtue, it simply does not require it. Libertarianism, as it is known in the United States, puts its focus on personal responsibility and independence from big government. Those sound like Western Values™ to me.

can't wait to destroy western values and the traditional family, ha ha ha! -me at the leftist conference last week

Well a theocracy of the CoE or the Episcopal Church would be a pretty funny one today, it would probably be more liberal than secular government.

You're labeling it wrong! It's not 'western values', it's Western Values™! Only at Walmart/Buy Now!

Making civic virtue something like stamp collecting is effectively rejecting its role in society.

You don't have to be against traditional values to be a leftist. See Blue Labour.

Nonsense on stilts.

[Jumalariik]

I'm a supporter of restoring the Hapsburg monarchy, if that's what you mean. As they're not my royals, I do limit my support for them, though.

It is truly amazing what frivolous fads kids go for these days.

That's funny. lol

Virtue that identifies with the polis instead of the individual. Aristotlean virtue ethics, instead of Randian.
