    I guess I could be considered a liberal/libertarian hybrid, or a "liberaltarian."

    Extremist moderate. I like to pick my eggs from different baskets.

    I'm a Liberal Conservative Libertarian Authoritarian. Favorite books include Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, Marx's Das Kapital, and Mein Kampf (although it's terribly written and painful to read, there are many good points in there). These three books are representative of the three great powers during the Second World War. What if we could take a little from each and have the best of all three systems?

    I swing between being a Moderate and a Liberal.

    I am a liberal. I a believer in progressive tax policies and a moderate approach to most foreign policy and crime/ civil liberty issues.

    I say help the poor, create a Utopian society, and do it all while not infringing on the individual's right to choose for themselves.
    But I am also a Nationalist, so your rights do not include which country you want to live in, or who you want to trade with if they live in another country.

    Libertarian. More in common with liberals yet hated by them because Libertarians do not side with tyranny of government.

    I am Pro-Choice, but after seeing a sonogram of my adorable niece I think abortion should be limited to 12 weeks, unless its to protect the life/physical health of the mother.

    I support the decriminalization of marijuana.

    I support the death penalty ONLY when the perp has confessed and there is physical evidence tying him to the murder, and he has not recanted.

    I of course support more progressive taxation.

    I want America's military footprint to shrink by at least 50%.

    We need to take a much more impartial stand on the Israel/Palestine conflict.

    I support Medicare for all Americans, or at least Medicare-general practice/specialists for all and requiring folks to own emergency insurance through work or purchase.

    I support hiring lots of border patrol and building more fences, and a national worker ID card and national worker database.

    Gay marriage? leave to the states...maybe. But all marriages should be recognized by all states.

    this is off topic...but you're swinging a lot lately. From person to person and country to country.

    I'm a Social Conservative fundamental Christian. Not sure how that fits in your poll.

    My philosophy: Give people lots of social and economic freedom, up until the point where their freedom negatively disadvantages another unwilling person. Almost everyone feels the same way. We like to give different names for the same beliefs and cloud them with different forms of rhetoric, but they're essentially the same.

    I took a test. I am a Neo-Liberal Democrat. Which is basically, a left of center Libertarian. Marijuana in every pipe and a Prius in every monthly paid parking space.

    Surprised that you included fascist and communist but not libertarian. I suppose libertarian would be 'other' then, right?

    It's an odd thing. Libertarians tend to come to the same conclusion as liberals on social issues (though libertarians tend to be 'more liberal'), same conclusions as conservatives on economic issues (though libertarians tend to be 'more conservative'), but for entirely different reasons.

    Oh yes libertarians are just too cool for school. They have to be one of the most obnoxious groups in the world.

    I am a far right social and economic conservative nationalist.

    I chose "moderate", but would prefer to be called a common sense pragmatist.

    Moderate with collective Anarchist leanings. Though in reality I'm probably more Minarchist then anything else.

    Left of Pat Buchanan by a few feet.

    More of a libertarian-Republican/Constitutionist.

    Classical Liberal-AKA right leaning Libertarian. The government that governs least governs best.

    On the one issue real liberals (aka RW Libertarians) can truly disagree on-abortion-I think it should be rare, but safe and legal.
    I support gays being able to openly serve in the military, and to have the same state benefits of marriage that straights do.
    I support the courts actually enforcing the Tenth Amendment meaning the federal war on drugs and federal gun laws would be obliterated.

    economic conservatism is antithetical to fascism.

    I read the end of his description wrong. I thought nationalist was part of his economic view, so I though he meant a conservative form of national socialism (as opposed to leftist Strasserism)
