I think guns should be handed out in schools instead of condoms.

I'm zero tolerance on drinking and driving. No excuses, no mitigating circumstances.

Gays should not be a protected class. That's not a social conservative position but rather a more pro-liberty one.

Strongly against driving drunk or stoned

Strongly support the death penalty ideally but oppose the current state of it right now.

Do not support transgenders access to men or wonen's bathroom if they feel like they're the opposite of what their genitalia says they are.

I am personally a very conservative person.

I am personally pro life, I believe that life begins at conception. The best policy for the country would be to follow Roe's measured approach. While I could not and would not make the decision, I think that during the first trimester abortion on demand may be a necessary option for others. After viability, abortion should only be done to protect the life of the mother.

And there should be no public financing of abortion.

I am also personally against the use of most drugs. While I do drink caffiene and alcohol, I don't smoke. Mainly it has to do with my issues of asthma. But tobacco is legal and I have had no desire to try it. If Marijuana was legal I probably would not try it more than once (likewise I've puffed on a cigar once just to try it).
I believe Marijuana should be legal. I also see that while the arguments can be made for legalization of harder drugs legality has no bearing on my usage. I think when you get into stuff like Meth that has no apparent benefits and actually is dangerous I can see the reasons for keeping them illegal even if that makes me a bad Libertarian.

I can go with that. As a fiscal conservative only, I still am staunchly opposed to affirmative action. Also, I am against socialized medicine like we have now.

I don't think there should be a protected class, period, with the possible exception of the handicapped/disabled who literally can't take care of themselves.

Pro death penalty.

I find abortion to be a totally repugnant practice but I also recognize that it is legal (much like cigarettes). I believe it should be as tightly regulated as any other invasive medical practice.

I can't think of any, but I don't consider myself socially liberal either.

pro life, not in favor of having any "protected classes", pro guns, pro death penalty (at least in theory), anti gay "marriage", pro school choice, anti entitlement programs, pro navy, anti department of education, anti department of energy, pro keystone, pro border security

At the same time, anti government recognition of marriage, pro FAIR Tax Act, anti War on Drugs, pro gambling, pro prostitution, anti foreign aid, pro immigration reform, pro tax reform, anti corn subsidies, anti police actions, pro freedom to do whatever the f&%k you want as long as you don't harm others.

Affirmative action is the king of liberal social positions. Lots of folks believe in allowing weed, prostitution, gambling, etc.

Pro-life.

There may be such a thing as "gay-marriage" (one word) however there is no such thing as gay marriage. It's impossible.

Death penalty, but only in extreme circumstances.

I'm probably moderate on the drug war. That is, pot seems ok but cocaine, heroin, LSD, MDMA, etc. probably need to remain illegal.

I think child molesters should be put to death by execution on network television.
