Political Alignment?

[ltl]

Just an interesting question for OB people. What's your political alignment?

I chose conservative but that is a little narrow. My political views actually would best be described as conservative Populist with libertarian leanings.

Ditto that, but I have no leanings towards libertarian.

Right-wing conservative. :lol

[ltl]

Right-wing populist I am.

I stand on the side of freedom. Free market, free-will, free from government. :thumb

The authorities' duties should be to curb the spread of immorality. Stop abortion, sodomy, and the like. But stay clear from the affairs of the people.

One thing I believe though is that a country has the right to defend and protect its own economy and companies' interest.

That is almost a text book definition of a libertarian

On a larger & more accurate one, I fall on the outer edge between Libertarian and Conservative.

I am afraid that I don't quite fit those categories. My belief is that we need to get back to Constitutional law. Personal freedom also requires personal responsibility. God was invoked in the laws of this country and the founders would be doing back flips if they saw what had become of this country. Libertarianism is a little too loose for my liking.

My belief is that we need to get back to Constitutional law ... Libertarianism is a little too loose for my liking.

Agreed.

I am very conservative and will probably vote for the Constitution Party.

I really wish I could have said "none", but, in reality, it's conservative.

My family's roots go way back to when the GOP was founded as a modern political party - pro-business and Northern urban. Now, it's almost too liberal, we really need to lose the Rockefeller Republican views.

The CP is okay, they are the social conservatives the GOP has been alienating especially with this stoopid amnesty plan.
