[NDN]

Abortion: Center-Left. Legal on demand for first 2 trimesters, legal for emergencies after.
Affirmative Action: Right. Discrimination is discrimination, period.
Artwork Funding: Right. Leave to private charity and business.
Assault Weapons Ban: Right. It did nothing to reduce violent crime.
Campaign Finance Reform: Left. Public Financing would be ideal.
Capital Punishment: Center-Right. Repeat Offenders; DNA testing.
Concealed Carry: Center-Right. For those who pass background checks.
D.C. Statehood: Right. Taxation without representation anyone?
Defense Funding: Center-Left. Cut pork and close various overseas bases.
Environment: Left. Aggressive Alt. Energy R&D; Public Transport; Increase CAFE standards.
Euthanasia: Left. It's their body, their choice to end their suffering.
Faith Based Initiatives: Left. Blatantly Unconstitutional.
Farm Subsidies: Center-Right. Slash pork & waste. Limit to emergencies (e.g. insurance).

Left-Libertarian?

I'd say so. Looks almost identical to my responses.

[NDN]

I've had a slight conservative shift:

Abortion: Center-Left. Ideally it should be legal on demand for the first 2 trimesters, and legal for emergencies after.
Affirmative Action: Center-Right. Race based affirmative action is unconstitutional.
Artwork Funding: Right. Leave to private charity and business.
Assault Weapons Ban: Right. It did nothing to reduce violent crime. Actually pretty much all federal gun control laws are bogus. Leave it to the states, please.
Campaign Finance Reform: Left. Public Financing would be ideal.
Capital Punishment: Left. It's unevenly applied, costly, and the risks are too great. As much as I think some people should be shot, I now think we need to abolish it.
Concealed Carry: Center-Right. For those who pass background checks.
D.C. Statehood: Right. Taxation without representation anyone?
Defense Funding: Center-Left. Cut pork and close various overseas bases.
Environment: Center? We need Aggressive Alternative Energy R&D, Public Transport, and an Increase in CAFE standards. But I also agree with building more Nuclear Power Plants, drilling in ANWR and building as many refineries as possible. I also think Kyoto was bullsh**t...
Euthanasia: Left. It's their body, their choice to end their suffering.
Faith Based Initiatives: Center-Right. They should be allowed to provide services, provided they don't try to use public funds to proselytize.
Farm Subsidies: Center-Right. Slash pork & waste. Limit to emergencies (e.g. insurance).
Flag Burning Amendment: Left. It would violate the 1st amendment.
Gay Adoption: Left. No good reason to oppose.
Gay Marriage: Left. See above. Also, bans are unconstitutional.
Medicare/Medicaid: Center-Left. Abolish and replace with Universal Healthcare (Swiss Style).
Minimum Wage: Center-Right. No further raises; Minimum Wage is needed but has draw backs.
School Vouchers: Right. Vouchers are a good idea but we should make sure that participating schools do not discriminate.
Racial Profiling: Left. It is obviously both unfair and unconstitutional.
United Nations: Right. Get out of it. NOW.
War on Iraq: Center-Left. Invading was a colossal Mistake. Partition Iraq and withdraw.

     I wish it had more economic issues, but eh.

You should make one that focuses on that.

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.

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.

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.

Assault Weapons Ban -- left

Why?

     Because assualt weapons have no place in a modern civilization. Handguns are necessary for self-defense. Assualt weapons might have a point if you were to be attacked by squads of say, 20-30 people.

'Assault weapons' are just guns that look like military weapons. But that doesn't make them anymore dangerous. The semi-automatic versions of military assault rifles actually use smaller calibers and less-powerful ammunition than many legal hunting rifles. You can't easily modify them either since NFA regulations make that nearly impossible to do.

That and the vast majority of gun crime involves hand guns.

[NDN]

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.

Research shows otherwise.

Right, so gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt children because they don't have legal recognition, which you also oppose.

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.

What?

That's not racial profiling, although something like 15% of people misidentify someone's 'race' (whatever that is). The central point of the issue is whether or not the police should focus on stopping or 'keeping an eye on' minorities more than whites. Which is text book racism.
