What's your political ideology?

[Mac1958]

Ok i was just curious why this other fellow called himself far right and what it means for him

It's good to ask, because the two ends of the spectrum seem to have different definitions for pretty much everything.

My own politics is not described with a certain ideology but with a few keywords i wrote down:

Politics
Peace, Love, Justice, Fairness, Emphaty, Tolerance

What about you?

Doesn't everyone say that?

 

[davebb]

You have to be more specific with what you mean. What you listed yourself has little to do with politics and are just cute words everyone would agree with. Even those words get thrown around so much they mean very little.

Like "racism" and "anti-semite."

• The fruits of your labor are interconnected with the entire community. You should benefit from your work, but so should the people around you.
• Your personal freedom is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution — not by the Bible.

That's it.

Then does it mean that is must be enforced by a high tax government? For that is transitory in human history. If we remove the higher taxation with people getting less in a more austere time, do they remain the same way thinking as you promote.

Probably most say it but many do not really believe that they are liers

Love, sex, drugs, and rock ' n ' roll.

Healthcare costs. Higher education. The destruction of our dollar. Its constant intervention in the private sector. Want more?

Look.

• Is the US Heaven? Nope.
• Does it do a lot right? Yep.
• Is the inequity of wealth and income our biggest issue? Yep.
• Is our biggest issue the incompetency of the bureaucracy? Nope.
• Has our government been taken over by oligarchs since Citizens United? Yep.

The things you listed are gnats.

Collectivist isn't like racist, or sexist, or homophobic. That comparison doesn't fly.

So everyone deserves a cut of my salary because "reasons"

The Constitution restricts government in certain ways based on concepts that are ingrained in the European, i.e. Judeo-Christian tradition.

You reference the Bible specifically when most people point to the traditions the ideas in it partially inspired.

Meh. Your just babbling now. You obviously know you have to pay for roads and you can call that a "cut of your salary for reasons". You want to pretend like you didnt drive on public roads or get public funds for education and pretend you havent built your pile of dirt on top of what others built and left for you.

I worked hard my whole life. Two Bachelors, a Master's, 80-100 hour work weeks, wins and failures and wins again, and I made it to the top 0.5% level of success. If you think I got everything I have without any benefits from the collective United States, you are insane.

God Bless America.

I would describe my political ideology as Christian Democrat. From AI:

A Christian democratic party is a political party whose ideology is inspired by Christian social teachings to address modern social and political challenges. It is a distinct political tradition that emerged in 19th-century Europe, partly in response to growing liberalism and socialism.
Key characteristics and beliefs of Christian democratic parties:

• Centrist approach: Christian democracy is often described as a center or center-right movement, blending conservative social views with more progressive economic policies. This distinguishes it from both secular conservatism and socialism.
• Economic policy: Christian democratic parties generally support a "social market economy," a free-market system that includes a strong social safety net and effective public services to address social inequalities. They reject the concepts of class struggle and advocate for social partnership and welfare.
• Social policy: On social issues, Christian democrats generally hold conservative views based on traditional moral values, such as the importance of the family and skepticism toward abortion and same-sex marriage. However, their positions on certain issues may vary and have evolved over time.
• Respect for human dignity: A core principle is personalism, which emphasizes the value and dignity of the human person. This leads to a strong emphasis on human rights and the protection of vulnerable people.
• Subsidiarity: This doctrine holds that political decisions should be made by the lowest possible level of government. Higher levels of government should intervene only when local authorities cannot handle an issue effectively.
• Stewardship: This principle extends to environmental issues, with Christian democrats emphasizing the responsibility to protect the planet for future generations.
• Autonomy from the church: Although inspired by Christian teachings, these parties typically operate autonomously from official ecclesiastical organizations. Over time, many have adopted a more secular and pragmatic discourse.

I pay for that stuff via my taxes already.

Bullshit. You are an SJW basement dweller.

Kind of an opinion as to what is "high tax", right?

Federal taxes have averaged 17.4% over the last 40 years. They are currently sub 16%.

You are $30T in debt. You havent paid for shit.

You whine about wealth inequality while our govt picks the winners. Our govt devalues the dollar which hurts the little guy the most. Our govt causes inflation which hurts the little guy the most.
You , sir, are dumb as a rock.

Jesus preached charity. People, on their own merit, help others less fortunate.
This BS statist dogma that jesus was a big govt socialist is BS.

You are so disingenuous its mind blowing.

 

[citygator]

You are so disingenuous its mind blowing.

I post links, data, and facts. You name call. I dont mind being called disingenuous by you.

This is a thread about political ideology. Just have a normal discussion on it. No need to be so confrontational.
