Thought this might be interesting.

If I was American and a Republican, I'd probably be in the Moderate camp on social matters and Neoconservative on foreign policy.

I'm a democrat... but The Hallowed Mouse was somewhere between a libertarian and a the religious right... keep in mind that the libertarians are also fiscally conservative...

It probably means he's a libertarian conservative with some social conservative leanings.

Religious Right. An extremely conservative Religious Right.

The only thing that I disagree with in the Religious Right standard is the opposition to gay marriage. I am all for gay rights, especially because my BFF is gay, my other BFF is bi, and I'm bi.

Well I completely disagree with you there. I'm against gay rights.

fiscal conservative, socially moderate
I'm mostly for gay rights, I'm not sure about changing the definition of marriage, but if it happens, I'm cool with it. But I would like see the civil unions expanded and change some laws that deal with marriage like visitation rights and wills.
I'm also for protecting the environment and conserving, but I'm against LCD lights, they're toxic with mercury. But I'm all for doing our part for the environment.
But I'm all for lowering taxes and lessening government regulations. I believe everyone has a right to be rich through earning it.
Though, I can say I'm pretty liberal when comes to my Christian faith.
Against fascism! Free speech and freedom of religion for all!

Sounds good to me. All sensible positions I can agree with.

I agree with some of your positions, but strongly disagree with you there.

Amen to that sister! I'm glad to see another pro-gay marriage Republican. I have a tendency to switch my sexuality around (this depends on how much the boys at my school piss me off. I consider myself to be bisexual at the moment.). I mostly support gay marriage because I find it unfair that I could marry a guy I want but some of my gay friends can't marry the persons they want to marry just because they're the same gender.

I'm probably a fiscal conservative or a South Park Republican (also known as a libertarian conservative). In fact, I almost registered to vote as a Libertarian, but I switched to Republican just to play it safe.

Well for example... Libertarians are for gay rights, drugs, and a few other things that are considered liberal... he is against drugs... he's kind inbetween on Gay rights... he believes that

1) The government should step back on marriage, and only recognize Civil Unions
a. Marriage is up to a church and therefore due to Seperation of Church and State churches have the right to perform any marriage they feel is okay
b. Following the above, if the government recognized marriage, it'd only be unfair to recognize what one church does and not the other, so by institutionalizing civil unions, you have a government not in the rights of a church
2) Civil Unions should be given between any two consenting human adults

Though it is his personal belief that it is a sin.

I suppose that can be combined into a single ideology.

I'm something between a neoconservative and national security oriented Republican. I'm more of a fan of balanced budgets than tax cuts (personally I think further cuts would be overkill, but some serious spending cuts are in order to reduce the debt). Socially I'm probably a hair left of center, but not a fingernail's thickness left of it.

I am a Catholic conservative Republican. One would say I'm definitely a right-winger. Here's why I say this:
On abortion, I'm hardcore pro-life. I love all children, especially babies.
I believe that as human beings, it is our moral obligation to defend the weak and the voiceless. If killing an unborn baby is okay, why don't we just release all the ***** and murderers? Why are people always talking about protecting children when we're turning a blind eye to all the babies being killed by abortion? Here's my response to the woman's choice thing: Who is she to decide her child's fate? Who are we to decide who lives and who dies? If the baby is "a part of her body" then why does the baby have it's own arms, legs, head, etc? I could go on all day, but I rest my case.
On gay marriage, I am anti. I've always been anti-gay marriage, but seeing how the No On 8 rioters are invading churches, creating derogatory ads about Mormons now I'm even more anti-gay marriage than before. I hate hypocrisy and it seems that "Equality For All" is now "Equality For All unless you don't agree with us". That's hypocrisy.
On the economy, I think all these bailouts are crud. Bailing out big businesses and forcing average citizens; the little guy to pay for it? Does that sound like capitalism?
On guns, I am pro-gun because I believe whatever is in the Constitution is there for a reason and should stick. The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms, so dang it, we should have the right to bear arms. I'm all for gun safety, gun training and trigger locks, but you can't just wipe out the right to bear arms all together.
I think Communist leaders would want to hang me by my intestines because I'm hardcore anti-communism, anti-socialism and anti-fascism. Government shouldn't rule everything. I'm also anti-anarchy, but I'm also for small government.
On the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I am pro-Israel primarily because I'm anti-bully and Israel has been bulled for years by Palestine, Syria and Iran. Hamas provoked them, so Israel finally said, "Screw this!" and went after Hamas. Every nation has an obligation to defend itself.
On the Iraq War, I am pro. Crash into the Twin Towers, will ya?
On the environment, I am actually bipartisan. Of course it's important to protect the environment and conserving energy is great and all, but we can't get rid of industry or start living in huts. (Oh, and the LCD lights, it's true that they really are a mercury hazard) I read one article where the writer basically said she wanted the coal industry to be taxed. confused Okay, why would you tax anybody in a bad economy? That's like pouring water on a grease fire. It just makes things worse. (For the record, if a grease fire ever happens, pour baking soda, not water)
On animal testing, I'm leaning towards anti. While I don't think we should start testing on humans, we gotta be humane. Besides with all the advances in technology, there should be alternatives. Speaking of advances in technology, what the heck is taking them so long to find a cure for breast cancer and diabetes? What are they doing in those labs?
I'm pro-First Amendment. Again, if it's in the Constitution, it should stick. I think political correctness is an attack on the First Amendment. Freedom of speech means freedom of speech, not exceptions!
Well, that's all folks! (Looney Tunes music plays)

Now I ask you, are you stereotyping homosexuals like this? I will very well tell you now that not all of us homosexuals are like this, in fact very few are, the media just portrays it like this. I mean, I could say the same thing about Christians, all Christians are just people who want their religious morale to lead over the lives of even the non-Christians; when salvation is saved by doing morals with our hearts, not with our laws. I am a homosexual Christian and proud. And, in all fairness, Ministry to People With Homosexual Inclination is a Catholic Doctrine that claims that homosexuals are genetically created that way, and the only reason marriage in the catholic church is banned is because of the inability to procreate; so Civil Unions for non-Catholics is a perfectly just action to take on a Catholic's part.

I also see you're pro-first amendment which allows the use of free religion. The catholic Church justifies it only as a thing of procreation, which is their religious belief, not every churches, should my church be restricted to marry my future husband and I, and not be recognized by the State?
