I am:
[*]Pro Choice, But support parental notification and oppose "partial birth" abortions
That's a liberal position. Any pro-abortion position is a liberal position. Not conservative and not moderate. Why oppose "patial birth" but still think it is OK at he sixth month or third? The method of death is extremely brutal in "partial birth", but you seem to have made a distinction in the gestation timeline.
A non parental notification in abortions for minors is not only an immoral and hard left stance, it is societal insanity. It is also one of many hard left positions of removing parental rights.
[*]in favor of increased military spending and think the down-sizing of our military was one of the biggest mistakes America has ever made
A conservative position.
[*]Definitely a supporter of the death penalty... I even think it should be easier to execute and for more offenses... like drunk driving, if it results in vehicular manslaughter, the drunk driver should be tried for 1st degree murder
Supporting the death penalty can be construed as a conservative position by those on the left who oppose it. However many conservatives do not support this issue for reasons of religious faith. They prefer life imprisonment.
The death penalty for drunk driving is insane Todrick. The death penalty is reserved for premeditated murder and murder committed in the act of committing a felony. Accidental vehicular manslaughter in no way meets this definition. This is a highly extreme position you have taken and seems a bit irrational.
Can be construed as a conservative position... however many union members are conservative on many issues. The problems with unions and any type of "collectivism" is that those in charge of any type of collective interests are prone to corruption and rarely serve their empowered collective interests. History has proven when collective interests are empowered over the indivdual, the individual suffers and is unfairly subjugated. Unions in our modern society are an economic hindrance.
[*]in favor of increasing minimum wage to a livable wage
A hard left liberal position. Who decides what is a livable wage? Depending on the wage set... you could shut down a large portion of the economy and force much of what's left of the economy to move underground (all wages off the books) therefore reducing tax revenues. That is whats left of the economy. A blue print for societal economic destruction and a further move towards a state controlled economy.
[*]in favor of a flat tax
A generally considered conservative position.
[*]strongly in favor of political reforms... including but not limited to the abolishment of the electoral college
A hard left position and one that would immediately initiate a move for at least 40 or more states to secede from the union. It could never happen because those states would have to agree to it in a constitutional amendment. The scenario is unimaginable. There would be no reason for them to stay within the republic considering all presidential elections would be dictated by the few most populated states. Without a voice in the executive branch, it would be stupid for them to continue in the union. The electoral system is brilliant and took many factors into consideration in its design. You want to throw the baby out with the bath water because you think the system failed you once?
[*]Strongly against gun control... I believe AZ has the perfect gun laws... virtually none
Pro-second amendment. Definitely conservative.
[*]In favor of the legalization and taxation of marijuana
Very liberal and maybe left wing.
[*]Gay marriage should be legal, baring that companies & governments should give "life partners" all the benefits of married heterosexual couples
That's definitely a left wing position.
[*]against affirmative action
A conservative position
[*]against prayer in school... of any religion
A liberal position. The hard left however just wants to end Christian and some Jewish influence. They want to make acceptions for Muslims and other 3rd world religions all in the name of "cultural tolerance" or "diversity" or whatever the anti-traditional American or anti-Judeo/Christian bullshit of the day is called.
[*]in favor of a "national language" (English) all government documents and communication should be in english... learn it of suffer
I would say that's a conservative position and also a sane position. Language is the primary cohesion of any functional and united society.
[*]in favor of tightening our borders... hell go militarized... but stop the damn illegals from coming in
A conservative position.
[*]in favor of laws such as CA's failed prop 187(requiring proof of citizenship to get medical care, enroll kids in school, etc.)
A conservative position. (One that would not be needed if the government adhered to the previous position)
[*]most of all I'm sick of all these cry babies... all these racists, who call everyone else a racist... all the "You all owe me, don't you see I'm different" and in the next breath "you only say that cause I'm different than you, racist" its fucking rediculous... i don't give a fuck if your white, red, black, yellow of fuckin purple... so why do you? get over it.
A conservative position (You wouldn't need this position on anything if it were not for the hard leftists in the racial business). A perfect example is the lefties on this board. They are quick to call anyone who does not buy into racial politics ... a racist. You would also have to include people like yourself in here somewhat. Doesn't the hard left always call any one who does not buy into their homosexual agenda a "homophobe"? I know you have called me that. The "homophobe" garbage is a parallel argument to the outlandish racial issues. You think it is a civil right. A conservative does not think sexual deviance is a civil right. You don't even care if it is for religious reasons. Not surprising since you are an atheist.
Most conservatives are not atheists.

Well Todrick..... you're definitely not a conservative. You hold too many liberal and even some leftist type positions to even consider yourself conservative. Regardless of the fact that you seem to agree with some conservative ideas.
