I'm new here. Not sure what everyone is looking for in terms of an introduction, so I'll keep it extremely brief and move on. I've had a very wide set of experiences in my life that have shaped my views. It's for this reason I consider myself to be a "Shotgun Centrist". By that, I have leanings towards Liberalism, Conservatism, Authoritarianism and Libertarianism. It simply depends on the policy. I take a very `greater good` approach to most of my thought processes and logic, and govern myself by a philosophy that mirrors this. I look forward to engaging with anyone that is capable of well reasoned debate.
Welcome! I think we could use a bit more rational debate around here.. It goes in waves.. atm not so much debate since the left is in mid meltdown over Comey getting the age but it will settle down soon.
I assure you, depending on the issue, I will not sit on a fence. I firmly believe all sides are at all times, both right, and wrong, and the perception is the equalizer. I just lean heavily more to one direction or the other depending on the issue. I suppose if I absolutely HAD to pick a side, it would be Right Wing Libertarian. But again, it heavily depends on the issue. Suppose I can rattle some stuff off... Abortion? Pro-Choice Healthcare? Demolish state lines, allow wider competition. Revise patent laws, loosen restrictions. Repeal ACA. Prevent "Trumpcare" from passing. Gun Laws? Assault/Automatic: with ATF approval only. Small arms should be available to anyone, including "criminals", who have committed anything short of a Class A/B felony. Training should be widely available. Tax Policy? Complete overhaul of existing system, incorporate graduated flat tax at the state level, at the states discretion. Federal does not tax individuals, taxes states and corporations above a specific value line. "Hate Speech"? Perfectly legal. No censorship of anyone, anywhere, for any reason, including places of employment. If the company chooses to fire people based on it, then they have that right to do so. Gay Marriage? Marriage is not a state driven institution, period. No government involvement should be present in anyones personal lives, for whatever reason. If Cleetus wants to marry his dairy cow, more power to him. Just ... stay away from me. Defense Budget? I would like to see some foreign bases closed down and have more bases opened on US soil, along the southern border. The wall is a stupid idea. A wall would deprive our active military of live fire target practice. Illegal's do not have rights in the United States. Additionally, a restructuring of the military to allow for more people to enroll, and, an expansion of the Army Corps of Engineers (and related units in other branches), to tackle civil issues. (ie, repairing roads, and other critical [public] infrastructure). Just a few things off the top of my head anyway.
You still need to find yourself an avatar to go with your moniker. What's your favorite totem? What's your favorite symbol? Do you know how to go to the Internet and save-picture-as in jpg format? Here's an example -- my favorite tomboy goddess:
I don't really think an avatar is useful for a centrist, would just give everyone something else to judge based off of early. Maybe I'll just make it a giant white box. Whoops, there I go promoting white supremacy again!
Are you able to find a picture that sums up: "Take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem sort itself out" ?
Prove it! How do you feel about ? I bet y'never gave a first or second thought. Eh For further study, should you care to give a thought. http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/is-it-true-part-deux.495478/ Welcome withheld pending outcome.

I've thought about Canada, and in general, my thought process is.... as long as you guys keep your crazy contained to your borders, I've got no problem with anything up there.
So clubbing baby seals and skinning them alive in front of a helpless mother seal is okay with you? Enjoying your seal skin jacket are you? Moi ain't no Are you? The laissez faire attitude towards is the threat. What do you think of that?Consider their recent Trade War dumping gov't subsidized dairy on trying to extinguish the dairy industry and making it harder to deliver wheat to . http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/is-it-true-part-deux.495478/page-5#post-1067402566 http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/is-it-true-part-deux.495478/page-5#post-1067409989 I mean if you never gave a thought to the Threat Of YOU are like 99.99% of newbies.

Wait, are you actually saying Canada is a threat? With Trudeaux in office? The man who famously said "If you kill your enemies, they win" ? No, I don't have any concerns about Canada, certainly not with their trade practices. If they'd like to get into a trade war with the US, then by all means, they can. We will win. They're certainly not going to invade us. The worst Canada can do is frown at us disapprovingly, and that will affect me precisely like it does the rest of the world... "Canada..who?"
Watch what they do, not what they say. Such as hiring a PR firm to spread the "Nice" image. See thread previously reference. Consider the tax relief the working tax payer gets on the backs of tax payers. The "Cold War" for example. Security in general. They have a longer history of gaining sustenance on an tit longer than Europe For further study The last production of the now gone, American News Network. Why the last? Please give 10 minutes. eh Just because I am a conspiracist, doesn't mean it isn't!

I'll....give it a look later. I can't promise you I'm not going to think this isn't total insanity, but I'll look it over. Youtube is webfiltered at work.
Do you subscribe to a belief that total insanity is void of truth? Consider the subterfuge of referenced and let me know, please.
Sorry bud, I can't get behind this. It appears to just be NAFTA level trade warring and whatnot. Besides, if Canada wants to invade, let them. We'll give `em the Red Wedding Treatment.
Did you check out a few minutes of the video above per your assurance. It is more than trade. It is also "us" paying for there security. If not now, when. If not us, who.
