Republicans: What faction do you belong to?

[muon2]

Government should be fiscally conservative, but with a recognition that government plays a role in providing basic services and maintaining a structure to defend and protect rights. The government has a duty to be accountable to the taxpayer, but not so short-sighted as to miss long-term investments that will benefit the same taxpayer.

Foreign policy should be guided by realpolitik, but with a recognition that there can be times when  higher ideals should be pursued. For example a genocide may need to be viewed beyond the bounds of realpolitik. The US is part of a global economy and foreign policy should reflect that.

Government social policy should lean to the conservative side, with a recognition that social mores are slow to change. The guiding principal is quality of life for a broad swath of the population and identifying when the state's interest requires that it should take a role. Pro-life and pro-green would be compatible in this view.

I wouldn't place the above comfortably in any of the five listed categories.
