Today in the economy

And we have a Saddo's first
CFH and I agree. I am a moderate conservative who is leaning more and more to the Libertarian party but I am sick of both parties.

Both parties represent essentially the same interests, they support corporations while paying lip service to the interests of the indivual middle/working class person. If I was an American, I would loathe them both even more than I do now. Not like the political parties here are any different, but because of the power the American Government wields their influence is a lot farther reaching.

As for my political leaning, I have some that are to the right and many that are to the left. I sympathize with the Libertarian position, but I'm unconvinced that it can ever become a true reality. I would describe myself as a leftist social democrat, with views somewhat in line with some leftist European governments. University has really turned me into a pinko though, I used to be much more conservative that I am now.

Socially speaking I am a moderate. For the legalization of drugs. Very against gun control. Dislike abortion but kind of feel its none of my business. Gay marriage really isn't an issue to me. I see both sides arguments. Very against affirmative action. Firmly believe in seperation of church and state but I also believe our nation is founded on judeo-christian values. I just really hate white/christian apologists and being politically correct.

Now when it comes to size and scope of government and spending I am very libertarian. I would like to see a drastic decrease in the size and scope of our federal govt and more and more issues left up to individual states. I do not believe in wealth re-distribution and a big fan of a market economy with strong oversight.

As far as energy goes I'd like to see the nation's power grid on nuclear energy and a coal based synthetic gasoline to get us off of foriegn oil.

Strongly believe in border control. Deport illegals aggresively but more importantly jail employers of illegals no questions asked

Believe in a strong military as well as a pro-active foreign policy. Not pro war but in a world of rogue states and international terrorists I believe in the ability to unleash quick and decisive punitive military strikes. NO nation building and NO regime changes.

anyway thats me in a political nutshell

Well, I agree with most of your first paragraph. Our perspectives diverge rapidly after that.

I never claimed to be a capitalist.

Here in the US, that's what we is

I agree somewhat. I'd like to see 2-4 term limits so politicians don't get so firmly entrenched and know that sooner or later they will have to return to the private sector. Good turn over in the Congress and Senate would be a good thing.
