    Panzer, why do you want strong military, aggressive foreign policy and government-industry coop?
    By the way, reading your list I guess the former Soviet Union would have been the ideal nation for you:

    strong military - yes
    aggressive foreign policy - yes
    traditionalism - yes
    nationalism - no doubt
    anticommunsim/socialism - without any doubt
    gov-ind-coop - yes
    strong role for military in gov. - for sure

    Man, are you stalinist?

    I am one of the many people who voted Gah!, because I think that I belong to more than one of those political camps, and I could not put myself into one of them above the others.

This makes me a socialist in US terms i guess, but I'm more a libertarian in Europe, because our governments are much larger and take on much more than in the US, too much imho.

    I'm a liberal because I just don't care what people do in private as long as it doesn't hurt (non-consenting) other people.
    That's fairly close to my own views. I'll add in that I'm in favor of well regulated, but open markets to keep competition strong and to encourage the wise use of capital (rather than bubble building.) I'm anti-protectionist, free market with respect to trade--except of course when facing closed markets in other nations...

    I'm also, tough on crime particularly white collar (because of their impact) and violent offenders, and definitely want drugs kept free of the workplace, but I think the way drugs and drug addiction are handled in the US is largely ineffective--some legalization, and a different approach to addiction and the supply chain could eliminate most of the drug crime.

    Military matters: kick the snot out of aggressors as soon as they clearly cross the line. Unless they fully correct the problem, they must be removed from power. When engaged, hit hard, don't agonize over every unintended death.

    Gun/self defense issues: I have a right to defend myself as I see fit.

    I was split between Gah! and moderate. I'm more independent than moderate...although I do have some moderate views too...

    My selection of moderate is assuming that "moderate" was being classed as "independent." Otherwise...add me to the Gah! camp.

    Have you ever voted democratic? If being an "independent." makes you a moderate then I surely qualify. It may surprise you to kow I never voted for a republican for any position including dog catcher. Then again I havent voted democratic either. I aways vote for an independent candidate.

    Soviets were definately not traditionalists and they were communists so I find it hard you see them as anti-communist. They also had the biggest genocide in history.. or series of genocides.. so that wouldnt do.

    You could say im directly opposite of a stalinist..

    That is a big joke. He was the badest enemy of communism of all times.
    Traditionalists? I do not know what you mean with that. But since WW2 they tried to keep tradition high.

    Well, let me list my basic beleifs (which I have been told are similar to Franco's, but I'm not sure anyway. 'Sides, franco was the best leader spain had since...ever...) and let you decide what I am.
    1. In the total sanctity of the "U.S. Constitution" and the "Bill of Rights.
    2. In a strong disciplined Armed Forces
    3. A strong centralized government should not infringe on the rights of the individual states or the citizens of those states.
    4. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
    5. The immoral and decadent trend in society must be stopped.
    6. Family farms should be preserved and protected.
    7. In the traditional family unit which is mother, father & child.
    8. Public displays of homosexual behavior should be outlawed.
    9. That what consenting adults do in private is between them and God and not the government's business no matter how filthy, perverted and disgusting it is.
    10. The immediate end to the onslaught of illegal immigration and a cap on all legal immigration.
    11. In fighting against Communism, Socialism, Radical Islam
    12. That English should always remain our national language and that to become a citizen of the U.S. one should have a working knowledge of English.
    13. That non-citizens should not have the same rights, privileges and benefits that citizens have.
    14. That being against something is not hate, it is free expression.
    15. The United States should use any and all means necessary to rid Lebanon of Syrian control.
    16. That voluntary prayer and the "Ten Commandments" be put back in our schools.
    17. That abortion is murder and anyone performing abortions is a murderer.
    18. That Euthanasia is murder and its movement should be stopped before it spreads.
    19. That illegal immigrants are breaking the law and therefore are criminals and that an honest aggressive effort should be made to deport them.
    20. That the U.S. should boycott and stop all foreign aid to nations that persecute or permit the persecution of Religious minorities
    21. That as of September 11th 2001 these United States of America are at war with terrorists in particular but not limited to Radical Islamic Terrorists and that every effort should be made to insure the safety of our citizens both here and abroad. That the National Guard be used to patrol and protect the integrity of our borders.
    22. That Veterans of the Armed Forces of the United States of America should be given the best health care available and that the U.S. Veteran's Administration should honor their responsibility to American Veterans instead of the current policy of finding ways to neglect that responsibility.... the neglect that has resulted in the unnecessary deaths of thousands of American Veterans.
    23. In using all of our resources to break us away from foreign oil dependency by tapping into our vast oil reserves in Alaska and other places. We look to the eventual replacement of fossil fuels with hydrogen, the most plentiful element in the universe. The U.S. must be self sufficient in energy.
    24. The worrying military buildup of China and it's past actions in Tibet etc have made China an enemy of demorcracy and justice ,and the United States must do all in it's power to protect the indeopendence of Taiwan and other states threatened by this communist powerhouse.

    While not Fascism, being as I beleive in Demorcacy and Freedom, it is definatly far to the right.

    Why do you hate Freedom?

    The people should have the legal capacity to adopt laws through referndums. That way you have a total democracy. You dissolve pParliment and allow the people to vote laws in their intrest. That way the only elected man is the president. Does someone agree with me? Giving power to the citizens instead of org.s should create a true democracy. USA's anti-immigration laws are governned by the peoples's intrest...hahaha.

    voted Gah! but I believe in:
    -Direct democracy
    -Communalism
    -The disbanding of oppresive or dangerous organizations and corporations
    -The government is given power to defend borders from external threat, and keep the commons (roads, rail, air, powerlines, water, the things the every citizen owns). Beyond that a community runs and supports itself.
    -Citizens have complete individual rights, but in addition to that complete individual responsibility.
    -So long as it hurts none it is legal.
    the rest is social stuff, like a return to the traditional family (extended family plus that other guy), getting rid of consumerism, ect.

    'Sides, franco was the best leader spain had since...ever...
    actually the best ruler spain ever had was the spainish people through groups like FAI, CNT, FIJL, and Mujeres Libres. Franco was shall we say, disapointing.

    Why do so many people in the US think that a strong army is good? They really do not have to defend the borders! Do they think a strong army is good for the society? It isn't!
    To me the US army and the military industry with all its influence is a threat for the US.

    Capo I would not call that a facist list. Maybe Nationalist, but not particularly so.

    However I do think at a glance two of your points contradict each other:

    1. In the total sanctity of the "U.S. Constitution" and the "Bill of Rights.
    &
    13. That non-citizens should not have the same rights, privileges and benefits that citizens have.
