Rand was a minarchist. She was also a scumbag of the highest degree.

I hate politics and distance myself from them as much as possible. I am liberal with sandwich condiments so i guess that warrants a responding post.

I lean a bit towards the libertarian direction, but am more of a pragmatist than an idealist. My views are generally moderately socially liberal and economically conservative. In relation to U.S. politics, I suppose that I tend to agree with the conservatives (Republicans) more often than I do the liberals, (Democrats) but overall am not particularly fond of either party.

I talk like a conservative, but I'm probably more close to center on most things.

Moderate, though slightly right.

Then again what we consider 'moderate'/'slightly right' in Australia is probably considered 'left' in the USA.

Liberal. I find myself agreeing with them more often than any other side. I stopped fooling myself and declared it on my driver's license. I'm not a moderate and I'm certainly not conservative. I agree with more liberal policies and I'm okay with that.

Liberal.

I think individual rights and freedoms trump the needs of society as a whole, and government should have little say in how we live our lives. The government should be a referee of sorts, to make sure everyone plays fair and uphold the rule of law, but it shouldn't be pushing society in toward any one direction. I believe in the virtues of the free market, but I acknowledge regulations are sometimes necessary to make it sustainable and fair, in that regards I lean slightly to the left.

I'm Liberal. I'm a staunch supporter of the scientific method and I'm not religious in the slightest. That pretty much precludes me from 99% of Conservative "Values" to begin with.

Her philosophy is disgusting to put it nicely.

Very left-leaning socially, somewhat less so economically. I feel that conservatism keeps my country back on the big issues, and has caused a lot of human rights violations.

Moderately conservative, because I'm educated and have common sense.

Neither. Politics is just a way for rich people to argue, lie, and become richer. Come tell me when there's a politician that actually cares about the people who voted for him/her.

Moderate. If I had to choose then I guess I'd say I lean a bit towards the right.

I secretly hold anarchist ideals close to my heart but I am a vocal libertarian.

Liberal: I think people have a right to think for themselves and make their own (legal) choices, without the government telling them what they can and can't do. I'm thinking mostly in regards to issues like abortion, censorship etc.

Moderate. I cant stand the idea that its every man for himself and that governments shouldn't be doing everything they can to assist others and improve our quality of life, but at the same time i'm not a fan of handouts and bloated governments getting too involved. I think it's important to strike the right balance, but that seems impossible when people are as polarized as they are these days.

Conservative, although I am not biased I do agree and disagree on both sides.. I just wish our politicians would do the same and stop acting like if they must win no matter the costs or there pride will hurt

if i had to pick a side it would either be libertarian or anti-"progressive" party

people are free to make good and bad choices in their life, and a solid economic base makes the best environment for a country and its people to thrive and advance.

both of these stances are why i hate the "progressive" party and like libertarians

Moderate, because it is mathematically proven that moderation is the most efficient option. Of course, I disagree with conservatives a whole lore more than I do with liberials, because mainstream conservatives seem to be a whole lot more extreme these days than liberials.

Socially? Liberal. Economically? Conservative. As far as lifestyle goes I'd probably say liberal, although a lot of people call me shy and quiet to them I may appear conservative. So I dunno.

Probably liberal. I live my life by the code of "I don't care unless it directly effects me"
