Many times I find people confusing Liberal (US Democrat) and Conservative (US Republican). Here is the best site ever.

[url="http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/other/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs/"]http://www.studentne...iberal-beliefs/[/url]

Now, let's have some substance to this. Copy and paste the following and fill in your stance on the topics: L or C.

[code]
[b]Abortion[/b]:
[b]Affirmative Action[/b]:
[b]Death Penalty[/b]:
[b]Economy[/b]:
[b]Education[/b]:
[b]Stem Cell Reserach[/b]:
[b]Energy[/b]:
[b]Euthanasia[/b]:
[b]Global Warming[/b]:
[b]Gun Control[/b]:
[b]Health Care[/b]:
[b]Homeland Security[/b]:
[b]Immigration[/b]:
[b]Private Property[/b]:
[b]Religion[/b]:
[b]Same-Sex Marriage[/b]:
[b]Social Security[/b]:
[b]Taxes[/b]:
[b]UN[/b]:
[b]War on Terror[/b]:
[b]Welfare[/b]:
[/code]

Here are my views on these topics:

[b]Abortion[/b]: Liberal
[b]Affirmative Action[/b]: Conservative
[b]Death Penalty[/b]: Liberal
[b]Economy[/b]: Midground
[b]Education[/b]: Liberal
[b]Stem Cell Reserach[/b]: Liberal
[b]Energy[/b]: Liberal
[b]Euthanasia[/b]: Liberal
[b]Global Warming[/b]: Midground
[b]Gun Control[/b]: Liberal
[b]Health Care[/b]: Liberal
[b]Homeland Security[/b]: Liberal
[b]Immigration[/b]: Liberal
[b]Private Property[/b]: Midground
[b]Religion[/b]: Liberal
[b]Same-Sex Marriage[/b]: Liberal
[b]Social Security[/b]: Liberal
[b]Taxes[/b]: Liberal
[b]UN[/b]: Liberal
[b]War on Terror[/b]: Liberal
[b]Welfare[/b]: Conservative

Liberal: 16
Midground: 3
Conservative: 2

I am eager to see how you feel about these issues, and how you rank: Liberal or Conservative?

I have also found another political spectrum test, but it's not the American-styled Liberal vs. Conservative.

[url="http://www.politicalcompass.org/test"]http://www.politicalcompass.org/test[/url]

Here is how [i]I[/i] rank:


[b]Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.41[/b]

Does N/A mean you don't give a damn or you don't know enough about the topic to make an informed decision? Or both?
[/quote]

The latter... That or I didn't like either choices enough to choose a side.

I am not a strong supporter in politics, and lots of these topics are just pointless. I don't see why people just sit in a room all day arguing knowing they will never get anything done. Only a few hours left until we can put politics away for another two years.

Yes, the debate on abortion rights is very pointless, and obviously neglecting victims of rape is a-okay.
Yes, the debate on homosexual marriage is very pointless, and obviously neglecting homosexuals wanting to get married is a-okay.
Yes, the debate on fuel is very pointless, and obviously neglecting that we have not a lot of oil left is a-okay.

...
Shall I go on?

I don't agree with either side on any issue.

I mean that people sit their arguing their case about why this or that should be concerned. Rape victims need to report it, and let cops do their job. I am not neglecting homosexuals wanting to get married. I need to change that one anyway cause I have homosexual friend who can't get married because of the state law. It is easy to find another resource to use besides oil, but people just don't like change.

My answers aren't so straight, black and white, yes and no, ideologies. They're probably slightly left leaning, but that doesn't mean I agree 100 percent with what the site has defined as the "liberal" answer for Abortion or Gay Marriage or Immigration.

Well, obviously you are more moderate than most people, but that doesn't mean you have no political stance whatsoever. To be defined as liberal in one of those topics does not necessarily mean you have to agree with every minute aspect of what is written. But if you [i]are[/i] liberal, you are more likely to agree with what is stated in the box.

Your post made it sound like you are completely moderate, and disagree with both sides (which is quite weird, since it's generally a two-sided debate for many issues, with very little gray area). If you are left-leaning, you are still liberal, but maybe not [i]as[/i] liberal as I, or others, am.

If I must state my beliefs on select choices:

Abortion - Depends on the circumstances. Install a death panel to decide whether she should or shouldn't go through with it, etc etc. Adoption is still available.

Affirmative Action - Stay, but with far, far less significance.

Same-Sex Marriage - No. Also, abolish regular sex marriage. No benefits to any married couples. Because I may be a bigot, but I am a bigot to EVERYONE! =D

Social Security - Keep it the same, but push the age back since people are living longer. My dad's 63 and he's still a pretty tough guy.

Universal Healthcare - Lol.
