---------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Redone on May 30th, 2008, in reflection of my current political views. I will leave the above for comparison.

DOB: 1990
Country of Residence: USA
Nationality: American, of Irish descent
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: 1.75 (now there is a huge shift of moderation towards the left)
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31 (another moderation of views, but less radical a shift)
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Off it. But center right, if anything.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): If anything, Libertarian. But I hold my own views regardless of any grouping or party. I have numerous disagreements with the American Libertarian party.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No. I am rather close to the British Liberal Democrats, however. Technically I am an American Democrat.
Religion: Catholic.

Abortion: I am firm in my knowledge that life starts at conception. So it infringes on the rights of the fetus. And therefore it is murder. I am more than willing to make exceptions for the health of the mother and perhaps even for rape and incest.
War in Iraq: Support. The surge is doing quite well. Suprisingly well.
Marijuana: Should probably be illegal, do to the possible harm inflicted on others.
Firearms: I truely do believe in the right to bears arms of the individual. However, that is not infringed by serious background checks and waiting periods. And there is no reason for anyone to have some guns, like I don't think anyone needs an assult weapon who isn't in the military.
Gay Marriage: I don't think government should be involved in marriage for anyone, straight or gay. You should be able to sign yourself into a union with another person, similiar to marriage now. Anyone should be able to do this.
Gay adoption: No reason why not.
Religion in schools: Can be taught, but about many religons. Kids should be allowed time to pray if they wish as well.
Death penalty: Against, it is an excessive abuse of state power.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Not at the moment. But probably the Reform or America First Party.
Religion: None.
Abortion: Against, but leave it up to the states to decide.
War in Iraq: Dumbest war in U.S. history.
Marijuana: No opinion. Perhaps regulated for certain areas that will vote for it to be legal.
Firearms: Limited regulation.
Gay Marriage: Against.
Gay adoption: Not sure, but leaning towards no.
