Pretty sure it is moderate to think we need border control, but not a billions of dollars ineffective wall. It is moderate to believe the people coming are generally good people in terrible situations and not the b.s. that they are rapists, murders, etc. Ya know, pretty much the same things Reagan believed. I think tax cuts are best focused on the middle class and that payroll tax cuts are particularly helpful. Top tax rates shouldn't be 90 or 70 percent, but cutting top tax rates, which were relatively low, during a strong economy is not necessarily smart policy. And yes I am liberal orelated to fishing in that I have been angry for 12 years at the rate people kill big fish because it is stupid and harmful and generally done to stroke the egos of the insecure.

Hahaha ; )

I am more Libertarian but sadly cannot trust enough of the populace to handle a libertarian society - they just can't ; )

Yes - some basic views of Tea Party; low taxes, low intrusion by Gov, let others be, that overlap, that intersection, is where I would like to see things.

I like some of what Obama did but I am critical of other things. Not sure I moved right much. I know the left moved (and is moving) more left.

Ohhh, and clearly fighting stuff like the straw ban is a near RW militia view ; )
