[Ebowed]

D.C. Statehood-i'm presuming left=make it a state, so center-right (give it rep., but not statehood)

The leftwing view would be to give the district statehood.  Your view is probably center-left.

Farm Subsidies-left=keep them or scrap them? I say scrap them, with a few basic exceptions.

The leftwing view is in favor of farm subsidies, rightwing view; against.

Flag Burning Amendment-left (disagree, right?)

Yes.

[Frodo]

Can someone fill me on in the Left and Right-wing views toward faith-based initiatives?  I personally support it, but I am not entirely sure which side supports it, and which opposes it.  If I put in the answer 'Right', would it mean that I support it?

[Ebowed]

If I put in the answer 'Right', would it mean that I support it?

Yes, although there are many conservative libertarians or strict constitutionalists who oppose it.

[Frodo]

If I put in the answer 'Right', would it mean that I support it?

Yes, although there are many conservative libertarians or strict constitutionalists who oppose it.

I know -that's why I asked.  I am also aware that the Left-wing opposes them based on their interpretation of the 'wall' dividing church and state.  So between the two, I was veering between Center-Left, Neutral, and Center-Right.  In the end, I chose Center-Right as the idea emanated from those conservatives who, like Bush, believe that government can be used for good and worthy purposes.  And that (the faith-based initiatives) is the one aspect of the Bush administration I find most attractive.
