athiests :republicans or democrats

[Vorn Frost]

id like to see if i can get a lot of people to vote on this ,i would really like to know if this group of athiests are more republican or democratic  

[D i v i n i t y]

Most atheists are more liberal and are therefore usually democrats. I think I'm more of a liberal? not sure o.O Definitely not republican though.  

[Tragic Orgy]

I consider myself to be some-what liberal.
Neither. Both parties are corrupted. It is obvious to say they are bought out by interest groups. We need a political revolution...  

[0UjgJBt3ONkG]

My views are largely progressive/liberal, although that doesn't necessarily mean I will vote that way. I don't see how any atheists can consider themselves republicans... not with how the party exists today.

Although I must say, if you primarily watch FOX News then I consider you an idiot. Especially if you watch Beck or Hannity...

Also, keep in mind not everyone here is American.  

[alteregoivy]

Actually, I'm... Socially extremely Libertarian (government should stay OUT of our private lives), while economically, I'm... fairly socialist. *please don't hurt me* sweatdrop

Though I do realize that those ideals won't necessarily work well in real life. At least, not on a scale as large as the US. Once you get past a certain threshold of people... There are just too many differing opinions to make any one philosophy work well. neutral

I chose the option: Left Wing

Yes I am a progressive/liberal.
I'm generally liberal such as I'm for samesex marriage, diplomacy (NO WAR), on the fence with abortion and etc.

I'm actually moderate when it comes to economy
I dont think Government should control the economy
So I'm a capitalist too.

Uh yes I am a Democrat!!!!
(I AM NOT A COMMUNIST!)

NO WAR? I'm sorry but war made America. It is good if used to support a moral high ground. If NO WAR had happened between ourselves and the Axis in the 30's to 40's, we would, in all likelihood, be speaking German right now.  

[=X-Sparker + AquaKiller=]

I've taken two online surveys before and turns
out I'm mostly liberal, but I do have a few moderate
opinions, especially on economic questions; goodness,
I'm always torn between those.

 

[Dark Lord Erebus]

I try to be moderate from case to case but i do lean towards being a democrat, even though most of them are idiots. rolleyes  

[MissDemeter]

I am not a democrat at all. First of all, I'm Canadian, and we don't have a democratic party, we have the Liberal party, which is the same.

Second, I'm definitely a socialist. Socialism all the way, bebeh! Not communism! Not communism! Communism is good in theory, but it can really only be successful in small countries. Socialism is just a middleground between communist and capitalist. The capitalists are the greedy ******** and the communists are the poor ********.

I'm joking, of course. Those are both huge generalizations.

But if there were a socialist party in Canada, I'd vote for them. (There are socialist independants, but... meh.) The closest I can get it NDP or Green party. I'd probs vote for the Green Party, because they want to legalize marijuana, something I'm very much for, (but I've never actually gotten high... I'm a good girl!) and also because Jack Layton (the NDP candidate) is a bit of a tool.

Wow, Canadian politics in an american politics thread. WOOPS.  

[Misanthropic Altruist]

I myself lean left (maybe even far left) when it comes to social issues. Economically however, it's a bit fuzzy, but I believe I lean somewhat to the left.

Although I would never consider myself to be a Democrat only because I don't like the big role political parties play in our government.  

[Le Pere Duchesne]

I call for the forcible eradication of all the major parties in most countries and an international democratically planned economy to develop the worlds economy on an even and efficient basis.

As one could guess from the above and my sig... I am communist.

I also don't live in the USA.

Aw, man, you and I disagree on so many other things... but somehow we agree on this. gonk Weird.

I just wish that plan could really work in real life. sweatdrop

I'm afraid it may never work. I do like some ideas of socialism but Rousseau's heart Social Contract is something waaaay different from, for example, situation in my country (Poland) before 1989. Trust me. And it's consequences are still making life pretty harsh here. The interesting part is that just the whole movement that started fighting with communism was pretty revolutional itself wink

I don't believe in left/right at all. Politicians in my country are all corrupted and it doesn't matter which side they take. Nobody likes politicians in Poland smile

And about atheism... I'm pretty sure that atheism is rather left, but I know of many conservative people that doubt religion... I think it depends on how much a person connects religious views and political views... Some people simply put those aside.

yes i know war has helped us before
but what i'm saying is we could solve problems with such violence.
war can cause bitterness
and then may cause people to thirst for revenge
Suppose if Country A defeat Country B
and Country C is friends with Country B so Country C gets mad and crushes Country A. Well Country D is friends with Country C so they go and fight them. And this never ends. I'm sorry. I'm more of a "peace" kind of guy
