Weed
Choice (but I dont support gov sponsored. Morally, I am against it. But in the end its a choice in freedom, which I support) Helping others (but, once again, not gov sponsored) Your choices are your choices, but I do not want the gov denying or helping. Like separation of Church / State, should be the same for all grounds. I personally fall more towards Libertarian than hard core conservative. |

I could be more accurately described as a constitutionalist libertarian, than a Democrat or Republican. Either party is like a shit sandwich...it doesn't matter from which end you take a bite...both are distasteful. At least Republicans are a wee bit less pro gun control.

I like America.
I believe laws should be enforced or repealed. I am not racist. I have literally nothing in common with a Democrat. |
|
get rid of all the morality laws.
its not the governments job to make me a nice person! |

That there are certain segments of our society that are unable (or unwilling) to take care of themselves.
Where I differ from them on this is that I don't believe it is the government's responsibility to do it for them. |

Quoted: Where are the DNC candidates that are for legalizing prostitution? Why does everyone just assume that Democrats want to make drugs and prostitution legal? View Quote |

Ending the drug war. Legal abortion. Gay marriage.
Minding our own fucking business as far as military intervention goes ( I disagree with them on being part of NATO and being europes defense plan though. Bring our military home coe defense of our own continent. Let them fund their own defense ) I disagree with socialized medicine but I accept the fact that republicans will never have the balls or the numbers to unfuck the last several decades of fascist government control in healthcare. At this point socialized medicine will probably be cheaper than insurance for most people. I only vote republican to protect my constitutional rights and because they regulate the economy to death at a slower pace than democrats . once the economy is lost to government control you can never get it back but the bigotry and backwards social policy of republicans can be undone more easily. Basically republicans are a little bit less shitty long term |

Quoted:
Legalize weed. Don't legalize weed. Don't care. Gay marriage? Don't care. (The trans BS is a whole other issue) That's about where it ends. Don't believe we can control the climate. Don't believe in baby murder. Fuck the Dims on that one. View Quote democrats legalize weed means make it mandatory, through teaching, that all elementary school kids try weed The same goes with LGBQWORST or whatever, it will be forced on all school kids. democrats mandatory position is entirely different than your Libertarian position |

Quoted: Military spending is one of the few things the federal government is for. Most everything else it does is unconstitutional. View Quote But just because military spending is mandated doesn't mean that military spending is at an appropriate level. If we're going to reduce the national debt in any meaningful way its going to require across the board cuts. |

Quoted:
Minding our own fucking business as far as military intervention goes View Quote The thing to understand about Dems is that everything they do is about domestic power. Their foreign policy reflects that. They wouldn't do a heavy lift like Iraq, since that could hurt them politically. But they will do Libya, Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti, etc., all day long since they are low risk politically. In short, their foreign policy is guided by what favors them politically. Not the national interest. Republicans actually ran principled foreign policy. Dems haven't since at least LBJ. Principled foreign policy can cause trouble, but I prefer it over the policy of maximizing Dem votes and domestic power. |

Quoted: I really don't want to scramble this egg because I am in favor of a robust national defense. But just because military spending is mandated doesn't mean that military spending is at an appropriate level. If we're going to reduce the national debt in any meaningful way its going to require across the board cuts. View Quote I wouldn't say military spending is mandated. The army budget is time limited for a reason. |

KingRollo asked this, too... I've seen and heard my fair share of people on the right who say, "Fuck it, I just throw everything in the trash!" Never seen or heard that from anyone on the left... View Quote Or you think we have poor waste management? Trying to understand what you think the Republican position is vs. the Democrats. Those are organizations, with publicly stated platforms. |
|
Quoted:
That's not a Democrat plank in the platform. Hate Speech Laws for example They are taking those stances on "moral" grounds View Quote Many here have fallen for Dem propaganda. |

I think abortion rights should be up to women to decide.
Weed federally legal Gay people have all the same opportunities as me. Moving towards a more environmentally friendly country. That’s about it. |

View Quote Much of it goes into the trash regardless of what bin you put it in. To the extent recyling has worked, it was by selling the stuff to China. China is getting tired of it, since the crap isn't worth much to begin with, and they have to sort out the worthless stuff adding to their cost. |

Legalize drugs, what you put into your body isn't the governments business. Legalize gay marriage, who you want to marry isn't the governments business.

Today I learned that many people on this very forum are essentially "democratic" socialists.
ETA: Ever since the very first time I had to sit through the autopsy of a baby, I have been against abortion. Special circumstances, we can talk about it, but abortion used as a birth control method, nah. Not for legalizing hard narcotics. Weed I don't have that big of an issue with, certain situations pending... I don't align with any of the Democrats, because I'm not a communist. |

I'm a libertarian, but its gotten to the point that I oppose anything the liberals want. If they like it it must be bad. View Quote Free the weed is about the only thing I agree with them on anymore that I can think of. |

10 years ago I would have said
Weed Gay marriage Not starting too many wars Better border security Abortion Now? Nothing. They jumped the shark. |

Abortion
Gay marriage abortion Legalizing weed abortion prison reform abortion restoring voting rights to anyone that isn't in prison (you're either a free man with full rights or not, labeling them in between keeps people from ever returning fully to society) |

Pot and abortions. I'm not really big into either one, but meh, whatever makes you happy. Guess I'm in the "do what you want, but I don't need to hear about it" camp.
There are bigger things to worry about these days. Too many other hills to die on. |

Quoted:
I guess I'm on board with any of the individual liberty stuff (gay marriage, ending WoD, stop legislating morality), but that's really it. Everything they stand for other than that is just statism. View Quote |

Quoted: Same. I don't care what other people do. Live and let live and all that. View Quote The morality warriors in the GOP are just as bad as the sjws in the left. They both want to force everyone to live their way, the only difference is the way they want to make us live. |
|
Quoted: What if it's legal everywhere? Who's going to get 'dragged' ? View Quote Just like economic growth. If the left would stop trying to kill capitalism, people would stop fleeing those places due to taxes, regulations, and busybodies. |
