Description
A political stamp.I really don't like getting involved with politics that much. People who disagree with me are usually very disrespectful, well at least from what I've seen. I don't watch CNN or FOX. I don't go around carrying picket signs telling people to "turn to Jesus". I don't worship Perez Hilton or Rush Limbaugh. Both of them are fat stupid idiots.
I'd describe myself as a moderate lean liberal. *quick, hide the children*.
Abortion I guess you could consider me pro-life since I think abortion should be avoided as much as possible (except in dire situations such as maternal health) and that I could never have an abortion, but you could also consider me pro-choice since I feel it is not my business to tell what another woman should do with her body. I am against partial birth abortion and late-term abortion, because it is usually done at the time where the baby can live outside the womb. Abortion is a pretty touchy subject but it's not something I get too into. To all those who say women use abortion as birth control, it's not like anyone ever dreams about having an abortion. I mean, who wants to? It's a hard decision that no one ever wants to make. This is why I support contraception, because it prevents the need for an abortion. Of course, no birth control is 100% effective but it's than having unprotected sex with a huge chance of you getting pregnant or getting STD's. Oh and if you're gonna say, "oh, sex is only meaningful if you have it inside marriage" or "condoms and birth control are evil", then it's obvious that you don't want us to enjoy sex without the consequences because you're jealous that you can't get laid. You think we are only used for procreation? Fine, be a procreationist. Go be like the Duggars and keep poppin' em out until your uterus breaks in half. Just don't shove your crap into everyone's mouths. If you anti-abortion zealots had any common sense whatsoever, you'd be teaching people contraception so that we don't have to kill as many babies. If you think birth control is selfish and kills babies, then you must think that masturbation is evil because you're killing over 500,000 sperm with each orgasm and that women are evil because they have periods and that causes the egg they fertilize to die. A life is a life, right? So...stop jerking off. But anyway, yes, I think it's important to try and prevent abortion because it's something no one wants to go through.
Affirmative Action Racist, at least I think. It's really lame that someone gets accepted into college because of their skin color. It's like those judges on American Idol who let some tone deaf trailer trash mom of six advance to the next stage because of her situation. There's no such thing as an easy pass. You have to work hard.
Death Penalty If the crime is bad enough, sure, go ahead. Just be sure it's the RIGHT person. I usually think the appropriate punishment is life in prison, so they can spend the rest of their life paying the price for the victim. Since America's death penalty is humane, it's probably better to let the criminal to suffer in jail than just...you know, die. However, some people really do deserve to die. As for the case of Junko Furuta, a girl who went through 44 days of unbelievable torture and unimaginable pain at the hands of three other men, those people who did that to her need to be punished so severely and killed slowly...slowly. It scares me to know what us humans are capable of. As for child molesters, I have a better idea.
Gun control I support gun rights, but only to those who can handle the responsibilities of owning a gun. A gun is in no ways a toy to be used for foolish horseplay. If you wanna play, get a nerf gun. Oh, and conservatives, Obama is not gonna take away your guns. That is a lie.
Healthcare Everyone deserves the right to healthcare, but not to the point where they can be spoiled off of it and don't have to pay for it anymore.
Immigration This doesn't have much of an effect on me, since I live nowhere near the border. Personally, I am against illegal immigration because it's illegal. Yet, they do take jobs no one wants, amirite?
Same-Sex Marriage It should, no doubt in my mind, be legal. There is no reason why it should be illegal. Religion is the weakest argument you can use since not everyone is religious. Also the whole homosexuals-will-hurt-our-children-and-screw-them-up-crap, come on, seriously! There are plenty of children with gay parents and they live very happy lives. Gay marriage will not affect straight marriage in any way. There will be just as many man/woman marriages as there will be gay marriages, since the gay population makes up a very small percentage of our nation (well, mine, at least).
Separation of Church and State I believe in God and all that jazz, but I definitely believe in this. If politics and religion ever mix, the nation will essentially fall apart. Our Founding Fathers were theists and deists. This country was founded on freedom of religion. Read the First Amendment. Basically it says, you are allowed to have religious beliefs, just don't shove them into other people's faces.
Sex Education Gotta love sex-ed, eh? As for abstinence-only classes, big no-no. Kids these days are having sex at younger and younger ages and it is important people learn about safe sex to avoid unwanted pregnancies and STD's. No, I am not saying we should teach kids about sex at younger ages, but that sex education is important for "adolescents". It is not your business to monitor other people's sex lives or to tell other people what they can or can't do with their lives. Besides, without sex ed classes, no condoms, no diaphragms, no Nuva rings, or fake penises will be shown in the classroom.
Taxes Should be moderated, but not raised. Lowering them could help the economy.
Welfare Poor people should have job opportunities created for them, but they shouldn't be completely banned from having welfare.
It's important to know that not every liberal is a baby killer, homosexual, socialist (whatever that means), tree hugger, or hippy.
It's important to know that not every conservative is a homophobe, people killer (death penalty), gunslinging maniac, bible-thumper, racist, or a fat white man.
It's important that you people know my parents will disown me if I ever become a die-hard conservative, and they won't like me if I become a hard lefty either. Also, I do not plan on becoming an extremist on either side. In fact, I think extremism needs to DIE.
Yep, stuck in the middle. Try and catch me.
These are my opinions, you have yours, so there.

I'll admit I don't like getting too involved in politics either, but since this is the first year I'm able to vote I figured I should at least try, and I do consider myself a moderate. Nice to see another level-headed moderate here, and I agree with almost everything mentioned here.

I absolutely agree with all of this. Especially the abortion, same-sex marriage, and the church and state thing. When I try to give my beliefs on abortion and gay-rights, they always bring up God. "Oh, God just wanted another angel!" Or "God made us to be with the opposite gender." Seriously? GUESS WHAT! I'm an atheist. I really hate it when people use religion as an excuse for something to do with the law, as if everyone in the nation is Christian... I am also more on the pro-choice side, so I just label myself as "pro-choice." but I a am little iffy on the late-term abortions.

Finally a sane person on DeviantArt ^^ I believe in abortion only for cases like rape, incest or if the mother's life is in danger but other then that it's not really my thing. However I don't go up to women and say 'You have to keep the child!!' because that's not my place or business. As for same sex marriage I also agree. It's not ruining my life or anyone else's for that matter, it's just people getting married and being happy doesn't bother me at all.
Gun Control: I'm off and on about this too be honest. I agree that we should have background checks definitely for gun owners, but if we get rid of guns the criminals will still find away to get them so that won't do any good. Just because you ban guns it doesn't mean the violence is over. There will always be violence sadly with or without guns.
I'm in the same boat as you pretty much It's rare to find people who are in-between and try to look at both sides. Most people see it as 'cool' to only be liberal or only be conservative.

The paragraph about abortion is basically most of what I feel about abortion. I believe in abortion in case of rape and incest (typically this is due to rape and it is a terrible occurrence that happen in every part of the world regardless of color or ethnicity), or unless due to health complications. If someone does get an early abortion due to a one night stand, too young to care of a child etc. I'm not fond of abortion in the last trimester because typically that's when the baby is considered viable unless the baby will not make it and is a danger to his/her mother. When it comes to paying, the would be mom AND dad both should be offered a pay plan. In case of rape, life or death, the rapist should be made to work off every penny the abortion cost.
I believe in sex education, and teaching the use of contraceptives and, this is going to bring in a hell storm. I think they need to encourage teens to, until they get out of high school, even better college or even get married or find a life partner to celibate from sex. Like I said though contraceptive education is good in case they don't celibate.
I agree with you on the death penalty. However, I think in the case they do get the death penalty, we should bring back the firing squad and cut down the amount of years they wait to be put to death. Also do you know anything about Singapore's punishment system? Yes, Singapore style for rapists, child molesters, and the ilk. Of course, with forced labor to pay off any debts to courts, the victims, and/or the victims family.
Gun Control: This so much. I think we need to have criminal and mental background checks but I don't think we should have a national registry. Leave that to the state and make it optional.
Healthcare: This but so much more. I think if we are going to have universal healthcare, then the state should do it. Same with welfare. That way if it collapses in one state, it won't collapse the entire country's. That and the state tends to know their people better than the feds so the state will probably know its people better.
Immigration: I think we need to loosen up on this so that law-abiding people can come here legally.
Same sex: I think it should be legalized, but it is also going to raise Sh!t storm because its very shallow. Think divorce ( as long as its not due to abuse)
Sex education: I agree no abstinence-only classes. I do think they should push it but if you look at my abortion paragraph. You'll understand what I'm saying.
Taxes: We have a lot of copy and paste agencies in each level of government. It is really bad state wise and horrible on the federal level. If we got rid of the copy and paste agencies, we could lower taxes and start using a sales tax instead of an income tax. With a sales tax, we wouldn't have to go around auditing people, trying to make sure people did pay their taxes and it would be simpler. Getting out of the wars we're in right now and not getting involved in anyone else's business, we could cut our military budget and that would lower taxes too. Also besides getting out of the places we don't need to be, stopping unneeded production would help to in fact. If I can find the article, the army has actually requested congress to stop production of tanks because they have a surplus. The article is on The Stars and Stripes.
Welfare: I think there should be a time limit on Welfare, as well as background checks and drug checks. I think that there should a be a limit to how many kids people can have. It would actually be a good idea if charities teamed up state welfare agencies. Another thing, people should be made to either go to college until they get their bachelors or go to a trade school plus a financing class.
I'm stuck in the middle too and I like the angry looks I get. They make me laugh.

Oh! A Socialist is someone who believes in the economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources. Simply put, everybody gets their share of resources and profit.

Though I'm not certain on many things, I am actually pretty concrete on the matter of capital punishment. All lives are equal. No matter what someone did, they are still redeemable in the eyes of God. They know not what they do. And even if they are the kinds of people that just operate on instinct alone and have no moral horizon, even then they are no less than a brother. We're all the same, so why can the law not treat people like equals? You cannot deny man his fundamental right - to live.
With abortion, well...bot sides are equally valid and I'm in no place to choose.

That's an interesting way to put it. To be honest, I've never had any strong views on the death penalty. I guess I'm okay with it, but the thing is many innocent people have been killed by the death penalty. And when you look at all those forms of capital punishment used back in the days *shudders*
