Just putting this out there, but I, as a Conservative/Right-Winged man, also supported gay marriage. Not all conservatives are against it.

NationStates has plenty of Liberals, what we need is less of the extremes and more moderate Liberals and Conservatives in my opinion - but having the extremes of both ends often provides some great insights as well. It's never good to have too much of one group represented, you'd never heard other opinions then!


You're right. There should be a balance.

Liberals were never the ones defending slavery.

Not like they did much to take it down but if you want to generalize them like the OP did with Conservatives & Gay Rights then that's how it is...

What concerns me these days is that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the front-runners....It's shocking that they rank SO low in honesty polls yet they're the front-runners....

Conservatives bring a much needed different point of view to the website.


I may not always agree with them, but they make good points for there point of view.

And yet, you accuse conservatives of being discriminatory and yet that in itself is discriminatory.

I wouldn't say that. Liberals are almost half of NS. Probably not the majority. I don't think there really is an ideological majority.

Judging by the data? I'd say whether or not there is a liberal majority depends on what sort of "liberal" you're talking about.

We need more liberals like the webstie GameFAQs the majority were liberal and the majority are liberal on YouTube as well.

While the world moves on, the conservatives cling on to their old ways and "traditional values" that sometimes involve discrimination like when liberals wanted interacial marriage to be legal and desegregation in the 1960s in the U.S. etc. And now they discriminate against gay people now. But thanks to good progressive liberal progress, gay marriage passed. We live in a enlightened modern society, but i bet throughout
history, conservatives of their times have said "girls dressing like boys, boys dressing like girls, what is the world coming to?" (except with issues
of their own time of course) etc.
They have always fear-mongered, that is one of the conservative fear tactics is to scare people and make people afraid of change and it's going to be the "apocalypse if that happens" instead of embracing change like the rest of the world, but those old men die and the world keeps spinning.

CONSISTENT Conservatives are what we NEED

If I am elected as Commander In Chief, we are going to utterly destroy ISIS, carpet-bomb them into oblivion (I don't know if sand can glow but we're gonna find out!), repeal every word of Obama Care, and take our country back!

Notice how the candidates for Democratic party/Liberals are a compulsive lying crinimal who won't admit she's a socialist and then a self-admitted socialist! :rofl:
A proud consistent Conservative, pro-isreal, and pro-gun

I congratulate President-elect Trump on an amazing victory for the American worker. This affirms what we have long known, that Americans have resoundingly rejected the Obama-Clinton agenda of bigger government, intrusive regulation, executive overreach, and lawlessness that is killing innovation and jobs, squandering opportunity for working men and women, marginalizing our freedoms, and compromising our security.

Does this data take into account the number of nations people play for novelty value and not as some sort of personality test? One of my former nations was essentially a psychotic police state and that is certainly not the sort of thing I would vote for.
