| mrstickball said: To be fair, a lot of the sentiment may lie more with personal convictions rather than public. For example, someone such as myself is vehimently anti-homosexual from a relgious standpoint (I believe its morally wrong), but am pro-gay marriage because I simply don't have the right to force another person into my views. Abortion is a little bit different of a matter, though, because you can have 2 sides to the same 'which side is restrctive towards personal liberty?' coin:
Otherwise, most other issues are pretty cut and dry - either you are for restricting freedom to do something, or not.

Can you explain how it could be considered authoritarian to allow a woman to destroy a fetus?
@mirgro. They are social issues, thus they have to do with social conservatism. The fact that they are religious is as I said is unimportant.

Is Halogamer1989 Thatcher is disguise? Just looked at co-ordinates and they are virtually identical.

Well I have to say after taking a it a third time it really has stayed the same, but I will say some of the questions are very open ended. One that really seemed open ended was the one that said "There are no civilized or savage peoples, only different cultures" I mean I feel we are all savage and there was no way to express that on the test.

I understand that, but you cannot in any way shape or form argue that they fall under the conservative spectrum if you are anti-abortion, I don't use the term pro-life because that is just laughable when applied to 80% of anti-abortionists, or anti gay right or any of those.
Conservatives, as it stands, want as little government control over their lives as possible. They don't want to be taxed, they don't want to have anything to do with the government. But as soon as it comes to controlling a human body, "oh sure go right ahead, forbid the gays or the women control over their bodies!" Have you ever talked to conservatives like those? Try to pressure them into how they can be anti-government, and at the same time support blatant body control legislature, and just watch the absolutely most hilarious form of cognitive dissonance I have veer heard. "Oh that's different!"
Anti-abortion, anti gay rights, and other grouops of similar form are very laughable when they label themselves as conservatives. If I were ever to label myself as a conservative, I know I'd be deeply ashamed I identified in the same group as them.

That will just cause people to bring up religion, and there is no point in talking about that as it's fruitless.

Exactly my point! They an embarassment to conservatives. The only reason these poor sops are allowed to be identified as republicans is because back in the day the republicans were desperate enough to try and bring more people to help it out, so when these things became issues and the democrats chose the sensible side, the republicans did its best to get everyone else so it can gain more numbers.
In the end, just try bringing it up, their responses are utterly hilarious.

Is it that hard to believe there is another person in the world who leans that far to the right :p? ...wait a sec.
