Moses, I don’t really get what you’re getting at. Conservatives favor an open economic system, Communists favor a state controlled economic system.
-
well you i think you all know where i stand on politcal spectrum.
Let the Red Flag Fly!!
-
Technically, Conservative = No Change, Liberal = Change.
-
right Yanny, people seem to forget that too often
-
where’s the libertarians???
i’m against their stance on business regulation and the environment but otherwise i’m for it!

that is true…
so thats the logical reason liberals support the palestinians…they need to change a corrupt state into a different even more corrupt state! it finally makes sense…

Yes, but in America nochange=Capitalism, change=socialism (more or less)
-
I think the choices in the poll are too limiting. What ahout “Moderate”? Or maybe its just that the Libertarian party has tainted the regular meaning of libertarian.
-
The poll is not prefect, but it is meant to be general rather than ultra-specific. That said, people tend to lean towards one of the four positions I listed. Either they believe in less government controls on personal freedom (ie. personal freedoms are like doing drugs, prostitution) and less government involvement in economic freedoms (ie. minimum wage, trade) in which case they are libertarian. If they believe in more government control of personal issues and less gov. control of economy then they are right. If they believe in more personal freedoms and greater economic controls they are left. And if they are for more government all around, they are authoritarian.
-
I think the poll is missing and important point of the “political triangle,” anarchy. Surprisingly there is authoritarian but no anarchy.

no one is truly moderate, though i claim I am…the republican party in America is too damn religious.
-
That may be true, but at least here’s one Republican that isn’t a WASP.

what are you?
i’m 50% italian 30%german 10% russian 10% french, jewish mother’s blood, baptized lutheran. -
“what are you?”
:-? Well mainly American, though if you want to get technical you can call me Californian.
-
Well you aren’t a White Anglo Saxon Person, so I’m wondering what country (ies) your heritage comes from before the Western Hemisphere. Or is it that there is no way of knowing?
-
Well you’re sort of 3/4’s right on WASP
It’s White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant – not person (if I recall correctly)But I’m one part Asian, one part Afro-American, one part European. Put it all in a blender, stir on medium, and you get Moses (a nice religious name)
“i’m 50% italian 30%german 10% russian 10% french, jewish mother’s blood, baptized lutheran.”
I have no idea where you can get percentages from.
-
Heritage means Zip, Zero, Nada, Nothing to me. “10 % French” - Ok, I can understand knowing your Half Italian, but what does it matter if your 10% French? I certaintely am not going to treat you differently because your Half Italian, let alone 10 % french.
You are what make yourself, it doesn’t matter who your parents were.

For me, the fact that my mother is Mennonite actually has some bearing on my life. Not just religiously/spiritually, but it gives me a heritage that I can identify with. What is important about this? I really don’t know. But I do feel that i am a part of something. I feel that my people’s history has something to tell me in a more personal way then the history of an Asian or American people. My heritage gives me something to connect to in some small way, it applies a chisel to a part of my identity, and makes me appreciate my life in Canada in a way that not everybody does or even can.
