    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I'm a capitalist who fears rampant Social Darwinism, politically I identify with the right, but I'm still centrist. Barack Obama, look out! Idealistic foreign policy, but I understand realpolitik is required.

    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Conservative (American)

    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Republican Party

    Religion: EpiscoPresbyAgnosticism

    Abortion: Should be avoided as much as possible (education etc), as the more I know the more I consider it a terrible and fatal decision against a human being, an unborn individual.
    War in Iraq: Was for invasion, and hoping to stay in Iraq until stability is assured.
    Marijuana: Should be allowed and regulated less than alcohol. I have personally witnessed what drink and drive can do.
    Firearms: Allow those capable and willing to carry firearms to have them.
    Gay Marriage: Against marriage, willing to allow "civil unions". Marriage is a sacred religious trust.
    Gay adoption: Against, but not willing to argue about it.
    Religion in schools: (assuming that you mean actual faith-based schools and not just extension courses) I guess it is better to offer them to take control out of the hand of extremists.
    Death penalty: For death penalty, but the evidence needs to be concrete.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
