Your Personal Politics (Aside From Lgbt Issues)

Because he is a liar. Sarah Palin will often tell you the truth so it’s your fault at Judgement. There is no such country as “America”. Reagan had the same slogan and his minions were quietly telling Academics of a wondrous land from the Arctic Circle to Terra Del Fuego. America is a CONTINENT and one of the Zones decided on at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944. 

I am aware that "There is no such country as America" - but Reagan wasn't the first POTUS to use the term. 

BTW, if you're trying to split hairs, there are two separate continents - North America (Greenland, Canada, Mexico, the United States of America, and Cuba), and South America (the other countries).

Only we historically divide America into North South and Central. The rest of the world has always considered  it as one (like we see Africa). You are correct that postwar globalist maps show us, Mexico and Greenland as one Zone of the NWO  with South America another.

I consider myself very middle of the road.  I see good and bad both ways, but do lean more to liberal I believe as conservatives just have nothing much to offer anymore that is good for the vast majority of the country.

Reasonable. Both extremes are control freaks. But I don’t call the religious nuts “conservative”. There is a true “conservative” like Barry Goldwater that is more “Classical Liberal” like the Constitution, except for his ideas about the military. 

The USA has way too many military bases overseas that produce nothing. The debt is still climbing. If the debt even starts to go down, it would create an unprecedented economic boom. How much military cuts would equal Yang’s guaranteed $1,000 a month for everyone, or a world class health care system?

Trump’s tariffs look like a disaster. China simply devalued the Yuan to 7 to the Dollar and the Dow has lost 1,000 points in a week. Also tariffs start shooting wars. 

I had hoped he would pick great advisors, but it looks to me like the usual suspects picked Trump.

Growing up in western Nebraska it’s very conservative and being Gay is dangerous. I now live in NYC with my younger brother and we both have become very liberal in the way we think. 

Which is very interesting.  Moving from the deep south to living right in the city of Milwaukee, I have become far more condervative.  Back home, I was a foaming liberal, now.... well let's just say that I'm not so much.

I am fairly conservative, to mildly libertarian without the crazy.  I went to college bordering between Bernie and Chairman Mao.  I blame the degrees in economics and law for turning me into a fairly conservative person.  I used to be completely straight laced, and still appear so in public. 

[Guest BreedMeInVegas]

Fiscally conservative, mildly liberal on social topics, and I'm libertarian in the sense that I believe in limited govt, or elected officials telling me what I can or can't do.  I work hard, make good money, and I pay my taxes.  I follow the laws, even the ones I don't agree with such as being forced to pay car insurance, and being forced to pay to register my car each year.  However I understand that here in Nevada where I live, car registration fees help pay for govt services.

I'm single, and have no kids, and I don't mind contributing to stuff like public schools through the taxes I pay.  However, I feel I pay more then my fair share and am not a fan of those who take advantage of the system by consuming more then they put in.

On social issues I could care less who someone want's to marry as long as it's not an animal or someone underage.  What people choose to do inside the privacy of their homes is up to them, as long as no one is being hurt or doing stuff against their will.  

I don't feel any drugs should be illegal, but if someone can't handle it and they end up driving while high, or hurting others while high, they should be punished.  Anything in moderation is fine with me, but is it's abused, the abuser is on their own to deal with the ramifications.

I personally don't agree with abortion except in the case of rape or threat to the mothers life.  I certainly don't support people using abortion as birth control, and don't believe tax payers should be paying for them to have an abortion.  This comes down to personal responsibility.  Can't afford a kid?  Then keep your legs closed.  Society shouldn't have to be penalized for the inability of others to act or think rationally.

As a country I feel we're over taxed simply because the govt overspends. 

I don't believe that going to college is a right, you can either afford it, or you can't.  Way to many people use college as a reason to delay becoming an adult, and very few careers these days actually require a degree.  Same with health care, I don't believe it's a right, and thinking that the govt can run it and do a better job is a pipe dream.  Working hard and getting a job with great benefits should be the goal for people.

I think term limits for congress are long overdue.  Being a politician should not be a career possibility.  I don't support globalism because I believe everyone is different, and countries should be able to embrace what they choose as a way of living, again as long as it's not hurting others or their own. 

As Americans, and being the richest and strongest country economically, I do support things like NATO and the UN as long as everyone is paying their fair share.  But in order to be able to help other countries, I believe we must first take care of our own, then help others in need until they can stand on their own.  I believe in an open market and fair trade, but also believe in tarriffs being applied to countries that abuse free trade.  While an even export/import would be nice, I'm ok with America having a slight trade imbalance where we import a little more then we import, but not rates like 2-3 times like we see today.  I figure it's a way of helping other countries succeed.

Finally, I understand that the only way we'll ever have a President that I agree with on 100% of the issues, will be if I myself get elected.  So instead I choose to support the person who reflects as many of my issues as I do.

Ultimately I just want to be left alone to live and enjoy my life without needing the govt to hold my hand, or keep me from enjoying it.

I agree totally. I would add that since the most successful countries are the size of our States, and Empires always fail, more State autonomy would better serve the people who live there.  I feel like this is inevitable, and States could print their own money. Obviously some States would suit you better than others.

I find it laughable that people think socialism and communisn solve financial inequality.   All they do is create a smaller rich more powerful elite, a much greater poor class and pretty much do away any middle class.  That being said, the two party system with which most western countries have, do not represent true democracy.  If you look into Russia's modern political system, it is one of the most democratic of all, regardless what the government and MSM mouthpieces tell you.

Personally, I don't fit into any left/ right position on everything.  I'm more opinionated on each topic.  Though again, having said that,  the left has gone idiotically left.  Identity politics is out of control and the whole victim status ideology has gone way beyond equality, to become rabid authoritarian fascism.

She's raunchy, like @SuzeFagRag. Female Trouble is my favorite Divine flick.

It has its memorable moments. I like Desperate Living, although Divine is not in it.

I live in the UK and have had a really keen interest in politics from a very very young age. I was on picket lines with my father during the year long miners strike in the 1980's when I was a small child. 

I consider myself left of centre. I also work in a sector that supports people. I do not have any particular party I support. I consider policies. I could not however support the conservative party. They butchered my home town. I would never support the Brexit Party or UKIP as brexit is the most ridiculous idea ever. I also would never support a party that restricted equality. 

Having said all that I am ridiculously attracted to  dominant far right wing, gun toting, redneck types, skinheads and military men. 

I hate the fact that I am, but I just can't help it.

Haven't seen it, is it set in Baltimore? That seems to be a requirement for the genre.
