    I don't know. I guess I just answered the questions and it ended up showing that I am more authoritarian.

    Well it would be interesting to have a more authoritarianism right on the forum.

    I am the only one who is really an authoritarian on here? Well I guess I will have to make the best of it and I guess if you wish to know these would be some of my political opinions:

    Currency: I like it backed with a gold standard.
    Prohibition: I don't think we should ban alcohol.
    Interventionist vs. Isolationist: I am more interventionist, but only if it is reasonable.
    Taxes: I like equality so a flat tax.
    Government: It would be small and I do want to make sure that we do not to borrow anymore money.
    Military: I think we need a strong military, but I do dislike the fact of having bases in places we do not need them like they are pointless in (or if there are) US bases in Europe.
    Euthanasia: I am OK. If someone is in so much pain and wishes to die go ahead however, it should cost money for suicide however but it would not cost a lot, and I think it could somewhat help hospitals that need to make money.
    Labor Unions: They are OK
    Minimum Wage: I am OK with it.
    Slavery: Bad
    Marijuana Legalization: I honestly don't care, but I would like it for Ethanol Production.
    Globalization: OK
    Imperialism: I have always liked imperialism.
    Welfare: We should tighten regulations more to investigate fraud.
    National Healthcare: No.
    Religions and other stuff: Everyone is entitled to the first amendment no matter what, now off course if it involves hatred of a race it will not be put up, but if a Christmas Tree is put in the Town Square now one should take it down, in fact, I would also put up more religious holiday stuff like decorations for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

    Your definitely of a conservative view point, I wouldn't call you French classical Conservatism, but your without a doubt more closely associated with the new conservative movement (Neo-Con) just not as bat shit insane, though the question remains. Who do you support in 2012.

    Well I do like all of the candidates. I am currently supporting Newt Gingrich as the candidate because of his executive experience working with Reagan and then becoming speaker of the house, but he does not seem to be doing well and if he backs out I will go to Rick Santorum, but he was sadly a big spending senator from the Bush-era I think that will hurt him hard. He voted to raise the debt 5 times. Mitt Romney is the business man and I like him, but that does not mean he is full of crap (pardon my language). Romney is the architect of Obama's healthcare system's role model and now he does not stand by what he did? He has flipped flopped on issues like abortion and even claimed to be independent as governor. Last, but not least is Ron Paul. The Congressman has tried to pass over 500 bills in his lifetime, but only 1 ever passed. Both Gingrich and Paul have supported the gold standard and an audit the fed. Speaking of the federal reserve I should state my own opinion there. I believe in a central banking system, but the current one sucks (pardon my language again). I view it as somewhat like a 4th branch to the government. I want a new one that is more public and one that congress and the executive office has more control over. We should also tighten some regulations on it I think.

    One last thing, I noticed on my profile you thought my name was Napoleon. Actually my name is John if you wish to call me that. I am however a fan of Napoleonic History.

    Oh you haven't been introduced to the mods and all of them time to go introduce you to them

    You seem like you would get alone well with Kali and Matt, Chelsea will be nice to you (she is to most people) although you will have huge ideological differences, and the rest will go along complain about Sweden.

    This seems strangely out of place in regards to your views on banking.

    You support a more government oriented central bank, but you think our currency should be left in the hands of a market factor (The market value of gold.).

    Well I am going to take economics next year in high school as I have not this year. So if had to choose between gold and the fed I would go with gold.

    Well since I am taking economics next year I will make the decision. However, I do agree with you on Andrew Jackson.
