Political make up of the forum?

[BtG]

Hey there, new guy here. I am curious about the different political views of the forum. How many of you guys are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or other. By the way, if your "just a moderate" which way do you lean. Personally, I am a libertarian. I'm new to the state of Indiana. I've been living here for about a year. I got married and moved myself and my new wife out of the peoples republic of Illinois. I've got to say, minus the blue laws I absolutely love it here. I can't believe how much more freedom there is here. It's absolutely astounding.

 

[Twangbanger]

80 percent Republican, 15 percent liberal...and 5 percent people who are primarily motivated by hatred of authority or religion. Otherwise known as Libertarians.

I just made that up. (12 angry Libertarian responses to follow...)

 

[Mackey]

I can't tell you all that I am because my deeply held personal convictions are considered inappropriate for this gun forum. If I did tell you the way I "lean" this post would be closed. So .... there's not as much "freedom" as you might think.

Welcome to Indiana friend! Indiana is a great place to be IMO, hopefully you take full advantage of your rights in this great state.
As for political affiliation, I tend to keep that kind of information private as my views tend to range depending on the hour

Conservative. The political party "lines" are so skewed I no longer consider any of them mine.

And 3 miniarchists.

And 3 miniarchists.

I don't know who the miniarchist are but I consider myself more of a minarchist.

and welcome to Indiana and INGO OP

 

[CathyInBlue]

A Miniarchist would be a proponent of rule by dwarves.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

Chaotically neutral constitutional anarchist.

 

[Jludo]

How'd Gary Johnson put it, "Fiscally conservative socially tolerant"

 

[MisterChester]

Radical Centrist

Pretty much states my politics, too. My politics grow out of my biblical worldview which is based on the presupposition that there is a God who has revealed himself in the Bible. Everything else is derived from the Book using a literal, grammatical hermeneutic—just as we use to interpret a post on INGO. My politics is simply the application of that worldview and belief system to daily life. No current political party fits perfectly with my worldview and belief system, so I cannot accept any currently popular party or label.

Just post something negative about the Prez and you will have the "centrists" on you like stink on .

I believe in the original meaning of the Constitution, not the 20th and 21st century interpretations of things such as the commerce clause, the so called "separation of church and state", full faith and credit, etc.

Remember what you left and why. I see some people move here, then start demanding some of the stuff they had before.

i am pretty similar to many of the conservatives above.

Well said. Very well said. Vital difference between the modern interpretation and the actual intent of the original authors.

 

[jamil]

Welcome to Indiana and to the forum. I am a transplant as well, but I've lived here a few years. Politically I'm a pragmatic conservatarian individualist.

 

[ViperJock]

I've been thinking of starting a branch of the pirate party. They have seats in the Icelandic congress, why not here?

 

[Denny347]

Socially-very liberal, fiscally-fairly conservative. No party fits me all that well.
