I know there are some websites that sort of do this, but I thought it would be easier and faster just by answering and posting here.

Number Scale - trying to keep it very simple.
-10 to 10 (-10 completely liberal, 10 completely conservative)
0 being right smack dab in the middle.

1. Are you socially liberal or conservative? Weigh the following issues in your decision: abortion, immigration, some drug legalization/decriminalization, prison system privatization, non-violent crimes sentencing, education, energy, transportation, protection of environment, same sex marriage, religion, death penalty, infrastructure, and guns. You get the idea.

2. Are you fiscally liberal or conservative? Issues: foreign aid, balanced budget, national debt, entitlements (medicare/medicaid), free college tuition, military spending, tax laws, govt research grants.

3. Out of all these issues listed in the two questions, which 5 are most important to you or would like to see addressed?



My answers

1. -3
2. 5
3. Balanced budget, national debt, energy, tax laws, non-violent crimes sentencing.


Yes, I'm bored.

I don't know. Maybe you can help me out.

I believe in..

Cutting all income and corporate taxes in half.

Paying for it by eliminating the EPA, FAA, Dept of Interior, Dept of Educ, Dept of Energy, Agriculture, Commerce, HHS, Labor, Public Broadcasting and then...
Selling off Federally held land to the highest bidders.

Reducing voting rights to males who own property, pay taxes and can pass a 12th grade literacy test. No one who has ever been in jail can vote and you have to have I.D.

Restricting all immigration from all countries except professionals with high level skills. I will also allow immigrants from Scandinavian countries who are female.

So, what number would I fall under?

1) -8
2) 1
3) Energy, Infrastructure, Student load debt, criminal justice reform (no more private prisons, sentencing reform, etc.), and Healthcare reform that improves the system for everyone.

-2. Was a +2 a few years ago before I started posting here but some of the newer posters are pushing me back the other way( why not do a normal 1-10 scale?).

Socially liberal, fiscally conservative. I know some people say that's spineless but I dgaf.

Out of your choices- some drug legalization/decriminalization, non-violent crimes sentencing, education, energy, infrastructure.

Wassup, Haughton. So, if Mayor Tyler builds a new bassetball stadium in Shreveport for the minor league team that 'might' come here... are you gonna buy tickets?

My standing is pretty simple. Get the federal government out of everything except for providing for national defense, as written in the constitution.

You must be watching the US Open, too. Ricky Fowler having a good day. Dustin Johnson not so much.

If she does it I'm gonna add it to the dumbest political moves in history thread. Shreveport is going downhill fast and that dumbass wants to build a new arena for a team no one will go see.

She's a special kind of idiot.

1. 10
2. 5
3. Tax laws (reduce tax rate for all), military budget (want to be true isolationist? Cut it in half), govt research grants (let's continue to push innovation--- INCREASE IT 10 fold), Medicaid(needs fixing but we need to more closer to single payer), social issues (duh)
