Left/Liberal/Democrat and Right/Conservative/Republican polarisation:

[Tyrant]

Who am I?


Left = Democrat
Supports...

Amnesty for illegals and/or guest worker program
Affirmative Action, strict 'equality' enforced through law
Strict gun control and/or abolishing the right to bear arms
Welfare program,
US interventionism on the basis of spreading democracy and ensuring human rights

Immigration in general. May or may not be a melting pot or salad bowl.
Israel
The right to abortion regardless of circumstance
Atheism, cultural and religious
Globalisation
Gay marriage

--

Right = Republican
Support

No amnesty for illegals
The right to bear arms
Just enough immigration not to be accused of being racist
US interventionism on the basis of defense
Israel
Limited abortion, possibly none
A ban on gay marriage
Pretty much the opposite of the left

It should be noted that neo-conservatives claim to be for strengthening America's economic independance yet also back globalisation in the form of the North American Union.

The prefix neo- refers to two ways in which neoconservatism was new. First, many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism.

I fall back on the traditional 'definitions' of the left and right in the United States.


I...

Support the right to bear arms
Am against frivolous abortion. I am pro a sterility tax on American citizens who don't make babies.

Denounce globalisation and the North American Union idea
Believe in temporary social aid progams. Workfare over welfare

Believe that corporations are not entitled to the same legal protection as a citizen, and should be policed to a degree in order to ensure that the society that empowers them through labor and capital isn't taken advantage of.

All of these things will probably be taken the 'wrong way.' I'll be happy to elaborate on each point, and any others I haven't listed.

Am I a Democrat or Republican?

Do you support Israel?

[Sarek]

Who am I? Am I a Democrat or Republican?

Well, your political views notwithstanding, I've always thought you were just fucked up.

I mean that in the nicest possible way of course.

 

[missmanners]

Hmmmmmmmm.... Dixie Democrat?

What's wrong with having a couple of duals here and there?

A "couple" is 2 or 3. Not 2 or 3 hundred.

Funny related thread. Funny in that the ignorance of some is absolutely astounding at times.

After viewing Michelle Trachtenberg's Eurotrip, I now have firmer grasp of American culture.

I loved that movie

Amusing, coming from the typical whiney Communist shite who wants to simply act as an upstart against those better off than him by pointing out their 'false cultural perceptions.'
