Where do you stand politically?

[Oneironaut]

Check all that apply.

[Bong30]

you left out "crazy Commie pinko" for your self......

See O... the political spectrum is....... ready..."a circle" not a line....

Radical left and radical right meet..............

[BizzleLuvin]

i love you Oneironaut. workers of the world unite!
i voted:
liberal
socialist
environmentalist

tho i consider myself an autonomous marxist. tho i'm registered with the Green Party, cause there's no active socialist party in Maryland. and folks from the green party tend to smoke a lot of pot and ralf nader is my hero.

[thcbongman]

It depends on the issue really.

For the most part, Economically right, socially left.

[medicinal]

Actually, I voted none of the above because I have passion for all of these positions and wouldn't want to limit myself to one. Fiscally conservative, socially compassionate, environmentally friendly all come to mind. I'm liberal with human values but conservative with federal spending, especially military spending. Do we really need more weapons? We have enough now to wipe out humanity a thousand times. I'd consider myself a realist. If it passes the reality test, then it's OK. That's my reality test.

:eek: I hold the same position. LOL...the only difference is the side of the fence.

Conservative Libertarian, or Right-Libertarinism, much like Ron Paul. Sterotypical conservatives and liberals now of days are mindless sheeps who have been molded by our federally controlled media.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

philosophically i am an anarchist. i don't believe that any form of government or economic ideology will ever be able to satisfy the needs of the human race. i yearn for the simplicity of pure survival for its own sake, freeing the mind to wander where it will.

in practice i'm a scavenger, taking what i can from each of those categories to to build a rough approximation of anarchy.

maybe it doesn't make sense to you, but it works for me.:hippy:

I am merely waiting for the time to be right,we will over throw the government and get back to what the constitution had in mind all those years ago.

Howdy medicinal,

Being conservative with military spending,is a liberal thing..all liberals want to shift money from the military,to their favorite,latest,greatest socialistic entitlement scheme,and leave America defense-less.

Peace through Strength..yup--we do need more weapons..until every last tyrant is vanquished,and after..to prevent the rise of more tyrants..because--such is the nature of Man. Plus..it's a constant struggle,to counter the effects of folks like you,who sap the will and resolve of Americans to hold true to traditional American values,because of yer secular-progressive agenda's..that play into the hands of the enemie's of Freedom.

You do believe in freedom for all,right ?

Have a good one ...

[FreeVenice]

My idea of a perfect government is just to get rid of Federal Law. I mean how can the same laws cover so many states? I just don't get it. . .

Yea, I guess education, and health-care for the poor is all apart of the evil socialistic entitlement scheme :rolleyes:

[delusionsofNORMALity]

life is a lot of work, trying to cobble together an existence you feel comfortable in is just the price of doing business.

I'm proud to be a crazy Commie pinko. The last thing I want to be is a normal person or a capitalist.

Oh right, my anarchist communism is barely distinguishable from fascism! Hitler was doing everything we anarchist communists have always dreamed of, what with how he was destroying his government and turning the means of production over to the democratic control of the workers. It makes so much sense now. :rolleyes:

Sweet. I'm no Marxist, but I agree with Marx on most things. Autonomous Marxists are definitely comrades of mine. :thumbsup:

America pays more in military spending then almost every country combind. By the time we're done with the "war on terror" we gonna have a bunch of illiterat bastards running around this country.

Peace through Strength..yup--we do need more weapons..until every last tyrant is vanquished,and after..to prevent the rise of more tyrants..because--<when only one is left with all the power he himself is the tyrant> such is the nature of Man.

Do you believe in things like education and health care?

Torog take a few minutes and take a look at this (http://www.truemajority.org/oreos/) and this (http://www.truemajority.org/bensbbs/). Do we really need more millitary spending? Look at our military budget then realize we are getting our asses kicked by crudly made IEDs.

[halo]

I put libertarian, enviormentalist and conservative. Freedom all the way baby!

I know this was meant for Torog but I do have to step in and shoot my trap a bit. In the first flick it states that we don't need all this improvement based on our nuclear might.....the next one states that we should cut back on the nukes also. Where does it stop with the cuts? The feds main priority is national defense. China's new plane was specifically designed to destroy our F-15 and F-16.......which is why we need to spend on the new Raptors. If our people are possibly going to have to face this new jet I would think that we'd want to have ours upgraded also for their protection.

As for your comment on "Crudly made IEDs". These IEDs are the latest in Iranian technology for piercing heavily armoured vehicles.

Considering the state of the world right now, I'd dump a few more cookies on the big stack with a HUGE glass of milk too!

Have a good one!:s4:

[birdgirl73]

I put liberal feminist environmentalist, but I would prefer the word "feminist" be humanist, actually. I don't mean secular humanist, although I am that as well. Here I mean humanist as in believer in human rights and fairness for all people, not just women. Gays, elderly, the disabled, minorities. People who believe in women's causes generally have hearts that extend to all these other areas as well.

I also want to add a big caveat that when Torog and others like him begin making sweeping statements that begin with "All liberals," they are not speaking for me or the proud, intelligent liberals I know. He doesn't have a clue what's in our brains, which I see as both a good and also a tragically sad thing.

[Zimzum]

The motion sensors that are on them where sold to a company in Iran yes. But the US government was quick to recall there comments about it being Iranian government related. If I made one and used radio shack parts does that make radio shack guilty too?, no

Yay, China can finally shoot down obsolete aircraft!

If you were to audit the pentagon it would fail miserably. And here our government is telling me social security might not be around when I'm at that age. We can keep paying for a war but at what cost to our future? Fighting one evil is just creating another. GOGO Mad Max beyond thunderdome future!

Ahhh, which supports my theory that we need business men controlling the books instead of lawyers.

We also just founds quite the amount of Iranian goods just south of Bagdad...IEDs and rockets.

[birdgirl73]

Speaking of paying for this war and the future of Social Security, did anyone see "60 Minutes" last Sunday? There was a really good piece on about our country's comptroller general, a man who has very scary things to say not only about our ability to sustain current war expenses but our ability to sustain Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the new prescription drug program into the future. It was important stuff and something we all need to hear now. No one wants to address it on either side of the political aisle, but we're heading down a disastrous rode financially. Worth reading and watching!

Now thatâ??s a silly statement.
I wonder how much % the US spends on attacking and how much on defending attacksâ?¦

And defending yourself in another country doesnâ??t count.

Gotta love these little gems you drop.
True traditional American Values, well if you mean based on the founding fathers then they were dropped a long time ago. They were atheist pot lovers

The enemy’s of freedom. Oh man, do you mean the USA. I’m pretty sure it’s the country trying to control all the others. And more so their own citizens.

I wouldn’t call Americans free. Mainly because of how strongly your country/media structures your minds and thoughts.

can you define freedom. i think not

....we do need more weapons..until every last tyrant is vanquished,and after..to prevent the rise of more tyrants....
when is enough enough? this cold war mentality has given rise to the most deadly arsenal ever seen - and the most useless. we have the capacity to lay waste to the entire surface of this planet, to decimate any foe at the push of a button; but the only reason it would ever be used is for the destruction of all humanity. the use of nuclear force is such a despicable concept that everyone knows it would never be used except by a madman. that's not much of a deterrent when held in the hands of a supposedly sane society. to pay for the upkeep of such a massive and impotent arsenal at the expense of the wellbeing of our citizens is not only irrational; but an act of tyranny perpetrated by our runaway government, the likes of which we claim to be fighting against.

this is a new age in warfare. the debacle in viet nam showed the world that any invader's will to fight can be sapped away by patience. our new enemies are not nations with armies poised for invasion, but ideologies spread throughout vast regions. no amount of firepower can root out such ideologies, no bombs can eliminate poverty and desperation. with each strike we create more fuel to feed the fires of fanaticism, more martyrs to rally around and more scorched earth to fill our screens on the evening news. for every pro-american regime we create and prop up with our military might, three governments turn against us. the age of mighty armies is over and the world's strongest nation didn't seem to notice its passing.

the tyrannies we claim to be fighting against cannot be brought down with armies and the global freedom we aspire to cannot be enforced by them.

i would say war is spreading the ideologies

[Iplaybass182]

I would think eveyone here should be liberterian, we need more freedom.
