You know the drill.


Social Policy:
Abortion: I don't like the idea, but it's going to happen whether or not it's legal, so I guess it should be allowed but very tightly restricted to make sure it's used properly.

Gay Marriage: Civil unions.

Drugs: Kept illegal, but focus on changing habits rather than just punishing.

Stem Cell Research: In favor.

Death Penalty: Oppose.  Hard labor is a better option.

Gun control:  In favor.  We need limited control like background checks and bans on assault weapons, but people are getting way to scared about this.  We need some common sense regulations.

Affirmative Action:  I support income-based AA.


Immigration:  Not really in favor, but we have to realize that there are a lot of people here and we can't just kick them out.  Amnesty for people who are not criminals.

Economic Issues:

Minimum Wage:  $10.

Regulation:  Increase for some sectors.

Welfare: In favor, but welfare should be a temporary thing and focused on getting people by until they can get jobs.

Right-to-Work:  End right-to-work.

Taxation:  Increase, simplify tax code.

Healthcare:  Maybe expand a little bit.

Social Security:  Keep as is.

Trade: No trade pacts.  Strongly anti-free trade.  Punish multinational corporations and ban foreign car imports.

Education:  Give to the states, have some very basic federal oversight and funding, but not much.

Balanced Budget Amendment:  A good idea, but realities make the idea hard to have.

Tort reform: I support tort reform in order to stop frivolous lawsuits.

Energy: 100% energy independence.  Use whatever means necessary to not import any energy, though shift to renewable and nuclear.



Foreign Policy and National Security

We should intervene when necessary and remain the world superpower, but neoconservativism has clearly failed.

Other
Climate Change: Climate change is real.
Evolution: Real
Green Energy:  Work towards this and nuclear power, but we can't just abandon all the coal and oil workers.  Slowly phase those out.

What is my ideology?

The only thing you listed that isn't at least somewhat to the left (or is it?) is trade.

I certainly think of protectionism as the more liberal position, but I suppose an argument could be made for either one?  Your motive for your position is obviously what would define it.

One thing for sure is that Congressional Republicans are consistently in support of free trade while Congressional Democrats are not.
