Southern Democrat? Please xplain what you mean by that. I know what a libera... erm, democrat is.

[Strike For The South]

think LBJ Socialy Libarell willing vast social reform but tough on forigen polociy

[Divinus Arma]

think LBJ Socialy Libarell willing vast social reform but tough on forigen polociy

And economically where do you stand? Those two concepts together will define whether or not you really are a Southern Democrat or if you just like the term.

[Strike For The South]

Your not a southern Democrat!

Your a moderate libertarian.

[Divinus Arma]

Economically I have very little opinion. That's something I think should be referred to the people. Politically I think individual freedom and as much direct democratic process as possible are the best way to go. Socially I am very liberal.

Well economically, it is as easy as this:

Is your personal property yours?

When does it stop becoming yours?


If you build something, buy something, own something do you deservce to keep it?

And if someone else wants what you have but does not have the intelligence, imagination, ability, or motivation to acquire it should the government take part of your property away and give it to the less talented?



If you own a home, is it yours? Or is it yours until someone else wants it?

[Samurai Waki]

left leaning market liberal

Free trade for all non essential items. I believe pharmaceutical companies should be government sanctioned, as well as large corporations broken down from time to time to avoid monopolizing the market... yes that means you Oil Industry

Also a stronger social system. Corporations should be required to offer basic benefits packages to all employees, as well as a higher tax rate. Reformation of social security, and veterans of the military should recieve better benefits.

[Lazul]

economicly left
socially liberal

[Adrian II]

I lean backwards as usual. So Gah!

[Mouzafphaerre]

.


Honestly, though, it's plain .

[Ironside]

Divinus Arma:

Do you approve debt slaves?
Do you approve child working?
Do you approve national companies moving offshore to low-wage countries?


If responding no to any of those questions, you're not a true economical right-winger (read Capitalizt and the z is intentional).

Economically left and socially liberal.

You describe the economical left, I describe the economical right.

Do you like milk?

? Your comment of not getting what the point is?

Drinks it every day. And I don't have the habit of tormenting myself.

[Ianofsmeg16]

I dunno, which way's imperialsim?

[yesdachi]

Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, fight, Fight, FIGHT!


I tend to lean right but I am pretty liberal in a conservative way.
(I was the 9th right vote tying the two)

[Lazul]

I dunno, which way's imperialsim?

well imperialism isnt really right or left, it can be either way. Seeing as both rightwing nations and leftwing nations can run an imperialistic foreign policy.

[Togakure]

This poll really needs a "Gah!" option. It would have been my choice.

[Reverend Joe]

Gah for me. Also, Divinus, your criteria for being economically left is only qualified for an extremist. I am very far left, but my answers to those questions would make me sound rightwing.

Leftwing economics have little in general to do with the criteria you have put up; they have much more to do with larger-scale economics, such as suppressing larger corporate entities, and a relative economic equality amongst the people at large. Your criteria really only apply to totalitarianist economies, where even if they are strongly rightwing, the average person is much more at risk to lose his or her personal possesions.

Just a little clarification.

Also, if I sound suprisingly calm, it is because I just had four shots of Bushmill's, and I am in a pretty good mood. I love Irish whiskey.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I dont lean either way. Im firmly planted on my right side

[Strike For The South]

Your not a southern Democrat!

Your a moderate libertarian.

Thank for that newsflash. Once agian I am a southern democrat yall know what I stand for more states rights ETC...I am dissapointed Div insulting me like that

[Kaiser of Arabia]

[Geoffrey S]

Why be either? It's a pointless label.

[Kagemusha]

Why be either? It's a pointless label.

Tell it to the right and left.

[Reverend Joe]

Holy crap... that is literally the exact opposite of my position! I'm serious- I did that thing once, and I was literally on the mirror-side of that point! That's freaky... I have met my political mirror-man.

Wait- now that I look at it again, I might have been one point over on the left side... but the authoritarian ranking is definitely the exact opposite of my libertarian. Still freaky.
