What am I politically ? Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Liberal, Conservative or something else ?
I am politically confused. I want to where do I lean ? SO I i am going to write down the major issues and where I stand,, and I want YOU guys to decide for me based on what I write for ALL the issues and decice what am I ?

Foreign Policy/Terrorism:
I think we should fight Al-Qaeda and the Taliban whereve it is, and kill its members without mercy, but we should not invade countries that have nothing to do Al-Qaeda like Iraq(Hussen was a moderate muslim) or Iran(they are shia, not sunni). But I do agree with Afghanistan’s mission and wish we send more troops.
Israel must be supported but talking with rogue leaders should be given a chance. We also must maintain are nuclear capability and never surrende it.
America should work with its allies, but it should also put pressure on them to share burdens. We should have a New World Older and help in humanitarian mission, but not take sides in a civil war.

Healthcare:
I think people should choose what they want. If people can afford private insurance, they should have it. If people cannot afford, there should be options for poor people. I also think government should be involved to an extent and make sure people, especially women remain slim, and don’t get fat, cause we lack having thin women.Veterans should be treated with more respect, and have half price on medical costs. Also doctors cannot be sued for no reason. That must stop. There must be tort reform. Only doctors that are reckless without any regard should be sued.

Education:
Teachers should be paid more if they are good teachers. Period. Good teaching means the kids learn and do well in class. There should be extra help provided to students in case they don’t understand the material. Critical thinking skills and logic must be taught early in a child’s life to prepare them for standardized tests. Also Corporal punishment like caning should be used on parents not involved in kids education. Evolution and sex eduaction must be taught in school. Reasonable accomodation should be provided to kids that wish to pray. Gay curriculum like that penguin book is not needed in schools. Gays only need to be mentioned during Sex ed. Our budget must spend more on education and work-fare programs for those that are are not sure of college should be allowed.

Gun Control:
People should have whatever guns even assault rifles, BUT as long as they pass strict background tests. If people are found to be reckless, they have no business having guns. Also no hard drug users should ever have guns. Drug testing should be required.

Energy:
We must invest in many forms of alternative energy. Oil should not be the only one. More experimentation and exploration needs to be done. At the same time, there should be investment in Euroepan and Japanese style of high speed rail and urban transportation to Europeanize American cities. The Amtrak Acela is a joke. It’s not real HSR. Real HSR means 250 mph to 300 mph. Even China has us beat on this. I am not talking about coast to coast, but regional services like in the Northeast, Southwest, Northwest, Midwest, and Southeast should have high speed rail corridors. Eminent domain must be used and protests against this should be crushed brutally. We must have more urban transportation European/Japan style transporation in other cities of America as well aside from NYC, Chicago, Boston, and DC.

Economy:
Capitalism and free markets shouhd be allowed but with reason. Local and small business must never be allowed to suffer.Compeition is key. A McDonalds or Wallmart cannot for example move nearby a 100 year old bar/restaraunt or a mom and pop shop . It will destroy business. There should be free trade, but CEOs cannot make indiscriminate amounts of money or cheat people to make their profits.
1 or 2 Months of paid vacaction should be allowed in workers of high skilled jobs.

Crime/Judical:
Death penalty should be reserved for those that commit cold, calutated, pre-mediated and heinous crimes. If a a gunman robs a shop, and kills the clerk cause the clerk grabbed his gun, that is not enough to sentence to death, life in prison is enough, BUT if the gunman ties the clerk up , after the clerk surrendered the money, and shoots, him, then the gunman should get automatic death. Child molesters(those that commit crimes to kids under 12) should be sent to work labor camps. Judges that give light sentencesd to them should join them in those camps.

Immigration: There must be a large wall on the southern border due to the high crime rate. It must be large enough that they cannot cross. Coast guard must increase patrols in our water. LEGAL immigration is fine as long as people wait in line. Foreign students studying engineering or medicine with good grades that graduate with a Masters or MD should have the right to be U.S. citizens because they will contribute greatly. For unskilled workers, a guest worker program should be allowed since there are cer

From what I see, you are different for each topic. you are a moderate/centrist.

Take one of those Political Compass tests:

Some of your views are really extreme to the right & others to the left. You are all over the place, but your views are not really that conservative….so I would say a Centrist-Democrat.

I’m not going to bother going through all the holes in your political philosophy, just let me say it looks like swiss cheese.

Ratz gave a good site, check out the political compass, it’ll give you an idea about where your beliefs lie in reference to well known political figures.
Vitki | Dec 21, 2009

Your are right of center, on most of your answers, but swing left on one. You would be happier voting republican than democrat.
iluv2tradestks | Dec 21, 2009

I agree with most of the folks below – you’re kinda a centrist. For what its worth, I’m thrilled that you are so opinionated and interested though.

My advice – don’t just take one politics test, because sometimes different tests touch on different issues and you can be slanted one way or another based on the authors of those tests. Take a few and weigh the results.

Here’s the best I can help:

Foreign Policy: I think you can generally expect support on both sides from continued Al-Qaeda pursuit. Republicans are a little more ready to ride solo than Dems, so I’d say your a moderate Dem here.

Healthcare: Your opinions on public option place you in the far-left Dem/socialist area.

Guns: Standard Republican all the way. I’m actually pro-firearm dem myself, yeah we do exist.

Energy: Both sides would agree with you on the need for alternative energy, but I think you would garnish more from Dems because tons of Reps want to keep drilling for oil on our soils. Your stance on Eminent Domain is extreme socialist. High speed rail and mass transit is definately the next big thing (coming from a civil engineer) although I’m not sure you’re going to have trouble operating cross-state Midwest and Near West systems without government subsidy: read, you’re a Democrat here. The key issue is that these systems need a dense user base and that just simply doesn’t exist sometimes. Thats why they work well in Europe and Japan and exist on the East coast, but not in the middle states.

Economy:

Neither Dem or Republican really – CLinton was a free market idealist as a dem. Are you in support of raising minimum wage? Limiting CEO wages is very liberal also.

Crime:

I’d venture to say you’re in the Dem category here.

Immigration:

Republican

I would also through a social category in here: Pro life or pro choice? Those issues.

Good luck!
