Doesn't believe in government mandated health care.

Pro death penalty.

Anti abortion but doesn't think government should be involved in the decision

Believes in reforming welfare and disability but understands a lot of people really need it and do not want it gutted

Does not want over regulation but understands there needs to be some oversight

Has no problem with drilling in Alaska preserve

Doesn't care if two dudes want to get married

Thinks transgender is strange but doesn't care if a guy says he feels like a woman.

Also, doesn't think a transgender should be able to compete in athletics of "their true" sex, i.e. A transgendered boy competing against girls.

Thinks weed should be legal.

Thinks prostitution should remain illegal because too many young girls would get trapped in the seedy life because it's easy.

Thinks appeals should be limited for crimes

Thinks we should go back to public hangings like in old west

Thinks people who earn more money should pay more taxes

Thinks amnesty is stupid and illegals should get the boot.

These are all the ones I can think of now. Are these talking points outdated?

For government mandated and heavily subsidized health "insurance" with astronomical deductibles and high premiums for the middle class?

Conflicted?

Try as I might, I could see no coherent philosophical underpinning to that hodgepodge of beliefs.

It seems like 'moderate' might be the closest I can come to an orthodox label, but even that doesn't seem right.

I'd say that person is a witch. He/she should be drowned just to be sure.

Everyone is an individual and usually have a mixture of philosophies.

But pro death penalty rules out liberal. Period.

Keeping prostitution illegal is anti libertarian but weed, homosexual marriage, trans, etc is libertarian.

Most of the others are conservative.

So I would label this individual as a conservative with libertarian leanings.

No one cares about this. The problem happens when these people want a special code of laws for this status, or they want tax payers to pay for their surgeries even though there's no statistic that shows surgery makes any difference.

You sound like a conservative with a few libertarian and moderate views.

This intrigued me so I am giving it another shot:


And you added this: Doesn't believe in government mandated health care. Economic Conservative/libertarian


Pro death penalty. Social/law and order conservative

Anti abortion but doesn't think government should be involved in the decision -wishy washy pro-choice social liberal

Believes in reforming welfare and disability but understands a lot of people really need it and do not want it gutted
This is almost political doublespeak. I guess Moderate conservative?

Does not want over regulation but understands there needs to be some oversight -OK this IS political doublespeak. This means nothing without further clarification

Has no problem with drilling in Alaska preserve
economic/environmental conservative

Doesn't care if two dudes want to get married - social liberal/libertarian

Thinks transgender is strange but doesn't care if a guy says he feels like a woman. social liberal/libertarian

Also, doesn't think a transgender should be able to compete in athletics of "their true" sex, i.e. A transgendered boy competing against girls. --Common fricking sense. I guess "not crazy arse liberal" would be as much as I can say on this.

Thinks weed should be legal. - Libertarian

Thinks prostitution should remain illegal because too many young girls would get trapped in the seedy life because it's easy. The opposite of libertarian?

Thinks appeals should be limited for crimes
Law and order Conservative

Thinks we should go back to public hangings like in old west Law and order Conservative

Thinks people who earn more money should pay more taxes - economic liberal

Thinks amnesty is stupid and illegals should get the boot. Law and order Conservative, Trumpist

These are all the ones I can think of now. Are these talking points outdated?

I guess maybe more Law and Order Conservative than anything else with an exception for legalization.

You're describing me. I'd have to say leaning conservative.

Your beliefs are your beliefs. You can join whichever political party you want to.

What if that person doesn't think that some 45-year old dude with a dick who likes to wear dresses and pinch stinky loafs next to 8-year girls in women's public restrooms is the most pressing issue of our time...
