Economic Schools of thought late 1800's and early 1900's.

Feh, I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable answering Marxian or German. I'll answer German for the sake of the poll, but I consider myself a Keynesian.

I guess after reading some of this more in detail I fall more into the English Historical School than the German Historical School but with some large influence from Marxist(I'm for total equal oppurtunity provided by government if necessary) and even Austrian(I support free trade).

[War on Want]

Of the four, Austrian, but I see myself more as a Distributivist.  The Austrian school works quite well if your only economic goal is maximizing GDP, but it lacks any consideration of the ethical consequences of doing so.

Respect.

Fail.

I don't see how it is a fail, unless you enjoy the top 0.1% owning huge amounts of your country's wealth while the bottom 50% lives in squalor. There has always been a huge downside in GDP maximization.

Protectionism+pro-worker freedom (read: anti-union)

What? This doesn't make any sense. Unions are the main institution in this country promoting Protectionism. No other group really solidly is against Protectionism, if you get rid of them you lose your whole support base. A few half-brain dead farmers is all you'll get solidly on your side.

Anyways Protectionism is stupid in most cases.

It's a nationalistic approach to a pro-growth attitude aimed at expanding the middle class.

Did I mention nationalism is stupid too? Anyways chances are pro-free traders will be seriously injured once oil prices start to spike high during the next few decades. Globalization should be hampered pretty hard once we start having those problems.
