I too have a hard time defining what I am, politically.
I'm pro life and also against the death penalty. I like small government but at the same time I believe in help for the poor and single moms for basic needs. I think all drugs and prostitution should be legalized. At the same time, political correctness drives me crazy and I can't stand the double standards with some groups. I don't like affirmative action. I'm for more strict gun control, but don't think they should be outright banned. I believe in taking care of the environment.
... Conservative libertarian is the closest I've found, but I still don't think I quite fit into that box.
No, you're a Tiberiusist. I don't think I disagree with any of those stances.
I call my political beliefs "pragmatic libertarianism". Pretty much the goal should be to maximize liberty, but never at the expense of someone else's rights, especially the right to life. However I also think that if a piece of legislation works well, you should strengthen it or at the very least leave it alone.
A pro life atheist. I like, love you lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
