Or do you occasionally see something from a novel perspective?

Can you think of any examples where your opinions differed from your traditional pov’s?

I think that there is a big attempt to manipulate people into seeing only left or right so that they become robots. But we do have the option to think independently.

No. I classify every issue as right or wrong.

Well it’s kind of hard when in a couple of months you get bombarded with pride flags.

The corporations were also pushing political stuff.

It’s just been in your face.


And when I was younger you weren’t called a Nazi being against illegal immigration.

I like to break the issues down as:
A) the government should be involved or
B) the government should not be involved

And the more Bs, the better.

Let me guess, you consider yourself a moderate who can see things from a novel perspective?

Every issue DOES fall somewhere on the spectrum so yes.

Well, just because one has a base of principles doesn't mean their application will be the same as others with the same principles so, yes.

Pro-Life which is consistent, but I used to be pro-choice.
Anti-Death Penalty which differs from most conservatives
Anti blind back the Blue

I'm sure there are others.

I'm old enough to have seen most issues go back and forth between either the parties or the ideologies, so I'll quote Trey Parker from South Park:

"The people screaming on this side and the people screaming on that side are the same people. And it's okay to be somewhat in the middle, laughing at both of'em."

I pretty much look at every issue with common sense and whether morally right or wrong, not right or left.

Leftist policies are rarely common sense or morally right.

I view things from the perspective of my faith first and then my belief of the role of government second (which is pretty old school conservative).

There are issues that are moral that aren’t necessarily political, but every political issue can be viewed based on a moral compass.

There are issues where I believe that we should intervene as human beings, but those issues shouldn’t necessarily rest on the government for a solution.

This is a long winded way to say that Left versus Right doesn’t necessarily apply when I approach things in this order.

Yes, and every issue is about race. Only because the Demon Party has made it this way.

No. I classify everything in terms of Common Sense vs Insanity. it just always turns out that the Democrats pick the side of complete f*cking insanity.
