I consider myself more of a Republican than a Democrat, so I'm going off of that basis:

- Pro-Choice
- Pro-Drug Legalization
- Pro-Gay Rights
- Non-Interventionist
- Support drilling for Domestic Oil AND using natural resources
- Abolish DHS
- Abolish the FED
- Atheist

More more Non-Libertarian views:

- Pro-Death Penalty in some cases
- Anti-Amnesty (I believe we should open ourselves up for more legal immigration, but make it less difficult to become a citizen. It shouldn't take years and years to become an American.)

I oppose amnesty.
I oppose abortion.
I oppose gun control.
I support marriage privatization.
I support more privatization in general.
I oppose the federal reserve. (Pro audit too obviously.)
I support government drug tests for welfare recipients. Like bankers.
I oppose income tax and the IRS. I strongly support the FAIR tax.
I oppose increased government spending during recessions.
I support deregulation and cutting/abolishing government departments.
I oppose green hysteria and boondoggles like "cap and trade" & "carbon taxes."
I wish the "99%" (what an idiotic phrase) would shut up.

I think that does it.

Sometimes I forget that you're a Democrat Tongue

Time for an update:

Least Conservative aspects:

I support gay marriage.
I support a path to citizenship, working visas, oppose border fence, etc.
I believe abortion should be legal.*
I support some regulations on business.
I believe, at the very least, marijuana should be legalized.
I oppose the PATRIOT Act.
I oppose foreign interventionism.
I support free and fair trade.
I believe healthcare should be provided by the state Government to the poorest residents of the state.**
I believe it is, in some cases, appropriate for the rich to pay slightly higher taxes.***
I'm rather neutral regarding the death penalty.

That's basically it.

* = I believe abortion should be legal, but should not be funded using taxpayer dollars. I consider myself morally pro-life, but politically pro-choice. The states should decide their own abortion laws.

** = Not sure how "un-conservative" it is to say the state Government should provide it.

*** = In some cases, such as when there is an economic boom, having a slightly progressive tax system is appropriate. Reagan raised taxes 4 times(?) all during economic upturns.

That's really it.
