I was just curious, how many conservatives/liberals are there here?

Personally, I'm a libertarian conservative.

Political views can't really be expressed on a simple, linear scale.
many folks, like me, are fiscally conservative but socially liberal.
I believe people should be allowed to live any lifestyle they want provided they aren't hurting others or infringing on their liberty. But I also believe the government needs to keep their nose out of everyone's business and only provide the most basic of services, no more wasteful welfare programs. Just stick to roads, courts, police who's job it is to protect public safety (not collect revenue for the govt), and fire/rescue services.
But no govt involvement in health care & education.

Moderate, but leaning toward conservatism. Or center-right, if you wish.

I'm basically the same.

I was the only Extreme Conservative in my government class so naturally everyone thought i was a strong republican, but on he contrary im not, i hate republicans and democrats, im a Libertarian Transhumanist Conservative Atheist, im also a Classical Liberal like our founding fathers were, Classical Liberalism is VERY different than modern day Liberalism.
