Political Parties?

[RU OX Alum]

I think left wing/right wing is B.S. Why should the seating arrangements of the French Assembly monopolize discourse 200+ years hence?

Just because it is outdated from its original meaning doesn't mean it doesn't hold relevance as an indicator of political leaning today.

My quiz said "liberal" - and probably by national standards I am. Unfortunately, by the rather conservative standards of my current environment, I seem to have been labeled far-left. (Because, you know, if you don't eat red meat, you don't worship Bush, and you --gasp-- talk to gay people, then you must be some kind of horrible DEMOCRAT )

[shinerbock]

Now the not liking President Bush and talking to gay people may only indicate a liberal. But the not eating red meat? Yeah, you're off the chart liberal.

Far left liberal here. Sometimes my views sway (slightly) depending on the issue....
I think people should be allowed freedoms of their body (like abortion), allowed access to (higher) education, freedom of speech and press, but call me a hypocrite but things like gun control I think are necessary....

I think also that religion should be separate from the state, but it is also a part of our culture, it's a matter of respect for other people (and their beliefs) (also, the extreme views where people hurt others is not ok, though I mean... what would we have thought of the crusades had they occurred now?? )

I also tend to shy away from political/ religious debate... I try to respect and listen to what others believe... I'm not going to change them or they change me, but perhaps we can learn something from each other.

conservative. i love our country and am grateful that we have thousands of men and women willing to put their lives on the line so that these far left wackjobs can burn our flag legally because it is "freedom of speech".
makes me sick that this goes on. mark cuban and michael moore=complete morons that need to get out if they have such a problem with America

on the topic of immigration, get rid of all illegals. if you can't come into our country legally than quit living off of our tax dollars and get your ass out.

there was a time for affirmative action but that time is over and everyone needs to be judged based on merit, not race
