Abortion - hard right
Affirmative Action - hard right
Artwork Funding - hard right
Assault Weapons Ban - hard right
Campaign Finance Reform - hard right
Capital Punishment - hard left
Concealed Carry - hard right
D.C. Statehood - is this a left/right issue?
Defense Funding - hard right
Environment - hard right
Euthanasia - right
Faith Based Initiatives - right (way too broad)
Farm Subsidies - i want to abolish them
Flag Burning Amendment - hard right
Gay Adoption - hard right
Gay Marriage - hard right
Medicare/Medicaid - hard right
Minimum Wage - hard right
School Vouchers - hard right
Racial Profiling - only for terrorist situations, so I guess neutral
United Nations - hard right
War on Iraq - left

I don't think it's that clear cut though

...and you are not a fundie? Lol.


Although, I always thought that "right" meant maintain policy and "left" meant change it and "hard right" meant to repeal a policy.


Abortion - right (maintain policy)
Affirmative Action- Center-left (tweak policy)
Artwork Funding- center (slightly tweak policy)
Assault Weapons Ban- right (maintain policy)
Campaign Finance Reform- (left- change policY)
Capital Punishment- (left- change policy)
Concealed Carry- (center- continue to change policy)
D.C. Statehood (left- change policy)
Defense Funding (center- tweak policy)
Environment (center- tweak policy)
Euthanasia (left- change policy)
Faith Based Initiatives (center-right- allow changes that have been made of late, but maintain policy thereafter)
Farm Subsidies- (left- change policy)
Flag Burning Amendment (right- maintain policy)
Gay Adoption (left- change policy)
Gay Marriage (center-right- maintain policy from drastic change while tweaking it)
Medicare/Medicaid (left- change policy)
Minimum Wage (center- continue to tweak policy)
School Vouchers (center- tweak policy)
Racial Profiling (left- change policy)
United Nations (center-right- tweak policy whilst be vigilant from radical departure)
War on Iraq (left- change policy)
 
So I guess I am 10-9-5, slightly left of center, but not by much.

If my answers make me a fundie, by your standards your a communist, but I suggest instead you just stop trolling the boards

Guess liberty's just for the straight white man, huh?
Not really.  The question asked about "gay marriage", I vehemently oppose gay marriage.  I am neutral on civil unions, although I personally oppose them.  Its funny how liberals think gays are so important but don't give a damn about innocent children

Never mind gay marriage. You have no logical argument against gay adoption. They are not going to molest their kids anymore than any other group. They're not going to 'turn them gay.' And no, 'they'll get picked on' isn't a valid argument either. If someone is getting picked on because their parent(s) are a minority you take that out on the people doing it, not the parents.
That isn't really my argument at all, I personally just feel that kids are better off being placed into 2 parent stable families when applicable.  If a gay couple does not have a civil union, I don't like the child being placed into an environment where the couple is not legally intertwined

Its funny how liberals think gays are so important but don't give a damn about innocent children
I'm not a liberal. I do take issue with the idea that something that doesn't even have a brain yet is a 'child' worthy of more rights than actual adults. Like most sane americans.

Besides that you said racial profiling was OK. I don't know about anyone else, but I personally see the right to not be harassed because of the color of your skin to be a pretty basic civil liberty. If the cops are looking for a minority suspect that's fine but we should not be discriminating against people when a crime hasn't even been committed yet.

I know your not a liberal, the comment wasn't directly for you but in general.  And an unborn being killed for no reason does not equate to not giving a privilge a group of minorities that isn't even a government issue.  As far as racial profiling, it makes no sense not to, if a group of crime experts (similar to w/e that thing is on Criminal Minds) thinks that a certain ethnicity committed the crime, don't interview everyone in the name of "fairness"
