For some people I imagine this sort of thing is easy. They might say, "I'm a Democratic Progressive" or something. For most of us, we've been burned by simple partisan adhesion or we've learned along the way that it's just not that accurate to fence your position in a few words. It may take putting out a blend like the popular 'Fiscal Conservative/ Social Liberal', or maybe you've found representation in 3rd parties. Maybe 'Tea Party' is established enough to define a political philosophy.
I have found this hard. I wont likely ever have a party allegiance unless hell freezes over and I go into politics myself. Even then, I am liable to start up my own wayside party. I'm a fan of the U.S. and our way of running the show. I don't think it has pier among nations, at least. Within the American paradigm, I see myself as a 'Social Capitalist (Micro)corporatist'. This is a decent reflection of the aims of what I consider good policy to be and a bit about how I live my life.
But that's me. Anyone care to share where they are coming from with their political, geopolitical, economic and social philosophy?
Limited Constitutional Government
Low Taxes
Fiscal conservatism.
Free market capitalism with reasonable and responsible Regulation and oversight.
Equal rights for all
Provide a reasonable and sustainable Social Safety net.
A government that does not over step its bounds, but does the things it is suppose to do well and efficiently.
Open to any Idea that works well, and fairly.
Wishful thinking to be sure, but that is the basics of my Philosophy
