Conservatives, what is your most liberal aspect(s)? & vice versa

[useful idiot]

- Foreign policy wise I've always been a knee-jerk hawk
- I'm not against guns. I own one, and like them. I don't think people should have assault weapons, but I support concealed carry.
- Against Partial Birth Abortion
- I think most smoking bans border on being literally retarded. I also oppose over-taxing cigarettes because it just winds up as a tax on the working class, and is really a case of punishing people just because they choose to engage in a habit that you yourself don't enjoy.

[Eraserhead]

- I'm pro-death penalty under certain conditions.

- I essentially oppose the continution of affirmative action programs (although I see how it could be needed in certain situations).

- I have mixed feelings on gun rights issues.

- In some ways, I could be considered a "traditional conservative'' on foreign policy issues.

- I'm against most forms of "political correctness".

Only the last two issues are really that important to me personally.

[7,052,770]

I oppose racial quotas (of course most liberals do too, so I don't really see that as the "liberal" position anyway...)

[7,052,770]

Oh here is another one.

I support limited gun control measures.  That puts me at odds with most liberals on this forum.

[Ogre Mage]

-- I sometimes support the use of military force.  I supported both Clinton's strikes in Kosovo and the war in Afghanistan. 

-- I support the death penalty for certain heinous crimes.  I supported the execution of Timothy McVeigh, Ted Bundy and would support the execution of Osama Bin Laden.

-- While not a deficit "hawk," I want to see it on a declining trajectory.

-- I remain skeptical about eminent domain.  I thought Kelo v. New London was a bad decision by the Supreme Court.  Justice O'Connor's dissent got it right on that one.

-- I support the right to bear arms with some restrictions. 

-- I oppose legalization of recreational drugs except marijuana. 

[Lunar]

Most libertarians have a retarded  nationalistic idea of foreign policy that involves pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist.  I'm a neoliberal who doesn't believe in the sanctity of national boundaries (I would give more power to the UN if I could).  Nationalism scares me.  That's about it. 

[ottermax]

I am rather liberal, but my more conservative opinions are mostly related to:
-Family Issues
-Israel
-Affirmative Action
-Military Conscription

I am against divorce and single-parent households, but I wouldn't support a ban on divorce either. I just wish some action were taken to give kids dads.

I support Israel fully, although I'm in favor of a two-state solution and I would like to see peace.

I am entirely against affirmative action. I'm mixed so I can take advantage of it, but it shouldn't be an excuse to class differences and a lack of education for the poor.

And I favor two years of military conscription, but I'm also a pacifist who would like to see a "Department of Peace"

Everything else I am very liberal on except a few issues here and there.

[Bacon King]

I lean more to the liberal side; my more conservative positions are mostly economic. I'm anti-deficit and I support simplifying corporate taxes.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I suppose my entire foreign policy is conservative, and my economic policy is mostly liberal.

[Хahar 🤔]

I suppose my entire foreign policy is conservative, and my economic policy is mostly liberal.

Your foreign policy isn't conservative. The conservative foreign policy is isolationism. Conservatives have adopted imperialism recently, but that is not a trait inherent in American conservatism.

[NDN]

One more issue: Gambling. I absolutely hate casinos. They're tacky, attract asshole tourists, breed crime, and are easily as addictive as drugs. And no, they don't contribute to the economy because they do not produce much of anything of value besides (often low wage) jobs. If places like Nevada want them FINE but keep the filth and shell games out of my state please.

[Governor PiT]

Conservation and Animal Rights.

[Workers' Friend]

I am very Left on the economy.

[MK]

I am very Left on the economy.

Same here ,but little to conservative on social stuff.

[Governor PiT]

I suppose my entire foreign policy is conservative, and my economic policy is mostly liberal.

I consider that foreign policy to be liberal and non-interventionism to be conservative.

[paul718]

-- Pro-gay marriage (I'm not gay and have no friends/family that are gay.  It's just that I don't see what the big deal is.)

-- Pro-animal rights legislation

-- In favor of legalization of all drugs (could this be considered a "liberal" position?)

-- In favor of allowing abortion in cases of rape, incest, or danger to life of the mother

-- Opposed to a Right to Life Amendment (I am pro-life but think it should be left up to the states)

-- Conflicted when it comes to foreign policy, not sure where I stand (though I guess you can't really put a Conservative lablel on foreign policy right now)

-- Conflicted on capital punishment.

Maybe you should change to yellow?

[Ronnie]

I support the Democrats on such issues as: embryonic stem cell research, marijuana, gun control, and to an extent, abortion.

As for economic policy, I'm strongly opposed to privatizing social security, I support public financing, and support sending foreign aid to poorer countries (like Darfur).

Maybe, but I support the PATRIOT Act.  And I think Roe v. Wade was a horrible decision.  I guess I'm a fiscal conservative above all else, and base only the tiniest portion of my vote on social issues.  Personally, I think all capital- L Libertarians would be better served by voting for Republican presidential candidates.

P.S.  I edited my previous post to add the fact that I'm undecided on capital punishment.

Fiercely anti-gun control

Fiercely anti-gun control

Good for you.

[Mint]

Updated:
Free Trade - Very pro-free trade. We need more trade, particularly with allies like South Korea, Colombia, etc. I do not like the direction many in the party are going on this.
Business Tax Cuts - The tax rate needs to be simplified (i.e. less loop holes) and lowered for small business.
Balanced Budget - Discretionary spending and tax deductions are out of control. We need a Balanced Budget Amendment and/or other serious reforms.
Social Security - I support privatizing it. Give people the choice of investing in bonds, equities, etc. like Galveston County did.
Regulation - Very Cynical in this area. I tend to view regulations as nonsensical and biased against small business.
Education - Strongly for vouchers and making charter schools standard. For school uniforms and bringing back discipline. Very hostile to what I view as bureaucracy (e.g. No Child Left Behind; Department of Education).
Minimum Wage - Against. It's ineffective and often has unintended consequences. Leave to the states at minimum and expand Earned Income Tax Credit instead.
Gun Control - Pretty strongly against except for screening out the criminal or disturbed.
Affirmative Action - Should be income based, not race based because that's unconstitutional.
Death Penalty - I support it with use of DNA evidence.
Faith Based Charities - I support government working with religious charities in some way.
Immigration - Against amnesty/'earned citizenship'; guest worker programs. We need to focus on skilled workers too.
Environment - For ANWR and off-shore drilling, very pro-Nuclear Power, concerned about over-regulation or stupid laws infringing on my rights.
War in Iraq - We are winning and need to finish the job.

--Pro-universal healthcare.
--Pro-progressive taxation
--Pro-gay marriage
--Anti-war on drugs.
--Pro-legalizing prostitution (only if it's very heavily regulated).
--Pro-4th amendment.

     That's all I can think of for now.

Out of curiosity, where do you stand on the Patriot Act?
