Left or right?

[Booko]

Where's the Anarchist option?

Right there with the option I was looking for: None of the Above.

 

[ChrisP]

Psh! Just go move to Somalia! Then send a postcard and tell us what you think of anarchy.

Would you like the RPG postcard or the panorama of the shantytowns? Anarchy isn't chaos

I know, it's the lack of government. It depends on which "brand" of anarchy you ascribe to. There's libertarian anarchy and anarcho-communism, blah blah blah...

I ascribe to the kind that doesn't bother defining itself

Well, good for you!

I'm a few notches to the left of Archie Bunker. My mother is one notch to the left of Archie Bunker but my Father is moderate conservative. I ended up a little mix of the two.

Huh?

 

[kevmicsmi]

Anyone who is either "left" or "right" all the time is not thinking for themselves but following the thinking of "the party line".

I think you are confusing Republican/Democrat with Left/right.

 

[Booko]

I think you are confusing Republican/Democrat with Left/right.

Not surprisingly. I mean, even "left" and "right" have morphed into something not recognizable compared to oh, 30 years ago...maybe less.

(Are there any fiscal conservatives out there in public office any more? sheesh)

 

[Booko]

Huh?

Archie Bunker is a character from an American show in the 70s, which was ripped off from a British show, but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was now.

He's a cranky working class stiff who doesn't seem to think much of equality of sexes or races. Mostly he doesn't like change much, so I guess you could say, "conservative"? Beats me.

no, and that is where the confusion comes in. Just because you have an R on your shirt, doesnt make you a conservative. Look at our president.

You see, that's the problem I have too. That's a huge issue with me, and I feel like I'm completely unrepresented anywhere on the fiscal issues front. Political parties don't even seem to factor into it any more. They've all gone stark raving mad, afaic.

I still vote, though. Heck, I'm a poll manager. :banghead3

The one problem with democracies is that the people vote to spend the governments money until they spend themselves bankrupt.

Thats the good thing about our constitutional republic. The politicians are bankrupting the country so we dont have to

 

[Yerda]

I picked left.

 

[Majikthise]

I like it here on the fence where I can keep an eye on all of you.

Why, you know I just gotta frubal this one. :biglaugh:

 

[DeadVegas]

My political standing isn't left or right. I'm a member of the Antifuneralists. We fight for Dead rights. We're being oppressed! The living impaired are not allowed to vote, adopt a child, or even marry!

 

[Majikthise]

As Grandpa Beeblebrox once said., "Life , is wasted on the living.".

 

[c0da]

It is a travesty isn't it!

 

[Mr. Hair]

Both!

Socially I'd consider myself staunchly liberal; on the economic front I'm all over the place but tend to veer towards right wing/free market policies; and on foreign policy I'm... Um... A bit like Tony Blair, but without Iraq.

(I have to admit, if I was going to blindly ascribe to any ideology, it would be Anarchism)
