Are you a lefty (not as in Leftylee) or a righty?

I didn't put an answer, because like most honest people I have views of both sides of the fence depending on the issue. I can't agree fully with the left because it is the party of bigger national government how many czar's does a Federalist Republic need? I can't fully agree with the right, because their foreign policy is horrible and their ridiculous deregulation tactics lead to rampant corporatism. Both lead to market failures if left to run for too long regardless of what either side tells you.

My view on government (and I strongly believe this) is that we need to maintain a pendulum effect so neither side can be allowed to govern to result in these failures.

On personal liberties I feel strongly support Gay Marriage although I believe it should be decided on a state to state basis, pro-choice (studies show it lowers violent crime), legalization of marajuana. My leftist views on personal liberty are what I am primarily judged by. I do classify myself as a liberal, but in the same way the founding fathers were. On the right I strongly support protection of the 2nd amendment (Right to bear arms), I also think that states rights are far overlooked and the Federal Government is able to collect more power because state governments are neglected by a majority of citizens.
