- as a nonsmoker I strongly oppose smoking bans, though I'm not sure if this is a conservative or a liberal position...

In the US that's mostly conservative. Pretty much every single city with a smoking ban in Minnesota voted for Kerry. Of course that's also where all the good bars anyway.

Same here. Those on the left tend to support smoking bans.

I'm opposed to affirmative action due to my life experiences.

Addendum: The Sierra Club.  Those clowns killed the extension of NJ Route 55 in South Jersey to the shore.  It needs to be built and the current configuration to Wildwood/Cape May is much more environmentally damaging in my opinion.

1 Antiglobalist in terms of thingsl ike the UN but mixed on free trade(I'm for a common market with the other angloshpere nations, and mexico(to boost its standards up). We need to get out of the UN, WTO and NATO right now.
2 Anti-affirmative action and being for states rights when it comes to race(except for attempting to block suffrage). The way I see it is this: if there's a consensus for eqality among the voters in a starte that's good but its not the federal govenrment's duty to interfere in that.
3 Pro-life. It may not be one of my hot button issues but I still beleive that.
4 I support draconian measures for crime(not victimless crimes which I'd legalize) Remember mussolini's italy and Castro's cuba broke the mafia in their territories so we need additional measure.
5 Willing to go with the hard right when it comes to domestic security. If we
6 Anti arab muslim/african/nonarab muslim immigration. Also against letting refugees/the poor. We need more middle class and higher immigration along wit trying to get more immigrants from the first world/second world instea.
7 In favor of having english set as the official language. If you want to speak spansih go back to mexico. Look at Canada's problems with its frenchspeaking minority to see what I'd rather avoid.
8 I want to repeal gun control legislation

I'm fairly conservative on Guns, but there are few issues that I won't try to find a common ground on.

I am a Democratic Hawk.  I believe in high spending on the military(Not quite at the level we're at under Bush due to the Iraq War, but still far higher than more liberal Democrats.)

I am sort of pro-guns.  But this is almost exclusively for hunting.  Hand guns are iffy, and I think you should have to justify carrying one.  Owning one is not a problem though.

Crimes involving guns should have severe penalties.

I'm not really "pro-gun" despite what some posters claim. I'm more anti-gun laws, because I think they're pointless, and don't accomplish anything other than lose the Democrats votes. I think the obsession over guns some have is pretty stupid too, but there's nothing that can be done about that.

Despite that, that's still probably my most conservative issue.

1. I support a progressive tax system
2. I support increasing education spending
3. I support importing perscription drugs and allowing the government to bargain for lower prices.
4. I believe that children should have everything provided for them if their parents can't (that includes healthcare). And that stops when you become an adult.
5. I support stricter environmental laws and controls.

Wow that is almost exactly like me.

For me, everything the previous poster just said, except add on "Very Tolerant to Gay Rights," and delete number four, and replace it with support for basic universal health care.

I support the prohibition of alcohol and tobacco.

I'm completely opposed to race based affirmative action.

I also oppose gay marriage, but that's not really that conservative.

I'm also fairly hawkish really.

Many of my key issues run against the platforms of both major parties.  Especially the censorship of various media and decriminalization of victimless crimes.  It's unfortunate that the terms "conservative" and "liberal" have become so loaded with animosity when used in the US, it's totally changed the meaning of the words.  I've always self identified as a conservative, but I'm not conservative.  Not in the traditional sense of the word or how it's used today in America.  But I can't call myself a liberal obviously, the right in this country has turned it into an insult and changed the meaning of the word.

Sorry, that rant wasn't really needed I guess. Smiley

1. I tend to think the U.S. should be a world leader and intervene when necessary in foreign affairs.

2. I despise abortion and only see it as a necessary evil. 

3. The death penalty for murderers doesn't bother me.  Also, I'm against trials for terrorists, I'd rather us just shoot them.  To me if you're a killer, you've failed as a human being and used the gift of life to destory others... so I have no compassion for you. 

4. I don't think taxpayers should prop up failing art institutions.

5. As progressive as they are, and so am I, I really do think West Coast latte liberals are f'in pussies.

1)I am though nominally pro-choice(Only due to being rational and knowing that outlawing it would do nothing), I personally hate abortion due to my catholicism.

2)I am VERY big on the military and believe it should be given greater funding.  I would support the Iraq War if it had been done right.

3)Anti-drug legalisation

And there are some more I can't think of off the top of my head.

Anti-race-based affirmative action.

Can't think of much else, though I do support bans on smoking with children around.

That's actually a free market conservative position.
