Where forced altruism lies on the spectrum?
Such as this motto: "You either help the poor or become one".

That is nonsense. I know several well off people who do not help the poor.

I would call myself a Conservative Libertarian. (which I guess to describe it means Moderate... like in the middle between a conservative republican or liberal democrat)

Typical US right wing point of view expressed in the options. I'm unable to vote given the choises of Right Light, Right, Right Extremist or Communist.

I'm mostly centrist, mostly because i'm not interested in buying any of the block party politics products - and i like to piss off people who define themselves as "Leftie" or "Right wing" because IMO they are sociopathic morons who dont understand jack s**t about the world and politics.

When it comes to corporate freedom, i'm quite on the right side, when it comes to housing and healthcare, i'm as leftish as it is possible to be. I am against governments taking loans to support their finances while going on a "free for all" spending trip, i'm for government making a profit in certain areas so it lowers tax payers load.

Corporate freedom? Those who claim to oppose collectivism and be hyper-individuals appear quite hypocritical to endorse corporate freedom, and as libertarians do that this shows them to be hypocrites.

I am a minarchist. That is as little government as is consistent with maintaining peace and order within the society. The least amount of government required to prevent the outbreak of rioting.

I'm more of an independent thinker with a liberal lean. I'm socially liberal, but fiscally conservative.


Same here.

I'm a classical liberal. I am for free market (especially free trade and free labor flow), and it's my most passionate political issue. I am also socially tolerant, and environmentally conscious.

In terms of American politics, I'm typically Republican, though the party disgusts me nowadays.

Double down on that. I did not vote in the last Presidential election. The choices were not only horrendous, but positively insulting. On those very rare occasions when I have voted Republican it was the choice of the lesser of evils, not approval.

Theocrat. I chose conservative because that is the option closest to me. If the US stopped practicing historical revisionism, we might learn something from our forefathers.contrary to modernist popular belief, this country was founded by Christian men with Christian principles, they intended for us to chose our own beliefs and values, but our laws are largely based on Biblical law. "Separation of Church and State" is never mentioned in the constitution, congress just agrees not to make an official religion like there was in england. Government should not force a religion on the people, neither should it be hostile to religion.

I believe the sooner we stop kidding ourselves, and read an un-altered history book, the sooner our problems will be solved. Historical Revisionism is a DANGEROUS thing, it has led to holocaust deniers in europe, lets try to keep it as far from US shores as possible. Put your kids in a school that teaches true history, not the watered down, politically correct, leftist version that they teach in public schools.

There can be a just war, and war is violent, there is no getting around it, stop telling the kids otherwise.

Historical revisionism is more a tool of the right to portray a Donna Reed, nationalistic view of history that only portrays the positives and never actually looks to teach lessons so much as merely inspire blind, ignorant patriotism.
