Personally I'd call you Ed or Mr. Bighi, but what do I know?



A label would be more difficult. Certain none of the current ones seem to fit.

So do the majority of your beliefs fit within the area of one or the other...if so then that's the one you wear, like saying the US is a Republican nation. Well, on a November day in 2000 it was, but since then who knows...

Luckily we are all free to believe in what we want to, and to express those views.
Sadly its as lileky that nobodyelse will share them exactly so either you do it yourself (!) or you team up with the guys who seem the most alike.

As sport lets take each of your statements and give it a tag:

I don't support the war in Iraq = Liberal
don't believe in preferential treatment of foreign nations since they lead to attacks by their enemies =Liberal
don't believe in the state enforcing a moral code = Liberal
don't believe in altruism and despise redistribution of wealth = Conservative
don't believe in the preferential treatment or mistreatment of any race or sex = Conservative (?)
hate the death tax and the capital gains tax = Conservative
don't believe in the mistreatment of animals =Liberal (?)
believe in population control= Conservative
believe that the loser should always pay for all court costs = Conservative
believe in full banking privacy =Conservative
believe in eye for an eye punishment of crime with no remorse = Conservative
believe in an immigration policy like Switzerland's or Monaco's where you are more than welcome, if only you bring in excellent skills or a pile of money= Conservative...

Totals
Conservatives = 8
Liberals = 4

So by a 2 to 1 majority you are Conservative.
But it does not account for any value or issue being more important than an other. After all you might value feel that the state's role in enforcing a moral code is far more important than in the treatment of animals. So the Liberal issues coiuld be a factor of 2 or 3 or 10 more important to you.

Any of the lables are my own opinion of what has been said. I'd hope that not everyone agrees with me.....
